Lorenzo in Pramac Ducati del 2020?

[xAllex]

Miller in KTM e Crutchlow in ufficiale... non ? neanche tanto folle non trovi?

Per Crutchlow avevo pensato la stessa cosa, ma per quanto riguarda Miller, KTM ha gi? annunciato Binder al posto di Syarin o come si chiama...

Comunque sarei davvero contento per Cal, se fosse promosso in ufficiale.... Un po meno per Cecchinello.

[luciocabrio]

bhe certo se entrambe le parti fossero d'accordo si potrebbe anche fare, ma perch? mai Honda dovrebbe rispedire Lorenzo in ottica ducati col rischio di rinforzare la concorrenza? per amore dello show?

o per i 4 milioni all'anno che deve a lollo?
Miller possono pure accattarselo loro per un tozzo di pane
Dai 500 mila a miller. Risparmi 4 milioni per lorenzo.
Facile che miller vada megli odi lorenzo su honda.
risparmi 3,5 milioni e c'hai meno rotture de cojoni

[abatefaria]

Ma fossero sante ste parole!! Sarebbe perfetto per rivedere un grande Lollo e di sicuro un perfetto trampolino per la riscossa che mi auguro..

per? in pramc mica glifanno 10 serbatoi personalizzati..
io la vedrei dura per giorgino..

[desmoteo21]

[rocketman]

per? in pramc mica glifanno 10 serbatoi personalizzati..
io la vedrei dura per giorgino..

Vero, per? mi parrebbe ovvio che nel caso Lollo avrebbe solo i colori del team Pramac, la moto sarebbe ufficialissima e, a livello tecnico, a carico di Ducati Corse.

con quel dispettoso e rancoroso del Tardozzi la sempre dura..

[abatefaria]

gli possono sempre dare la gp18...e spendono pure meno

seeeeeeeeeee..e giorgino si accontenterebbe manco morto di un numero in meno..? lui il campeon miicaun comune pilota..

[olivier]

Ok! Lorenzo in Pramac nel 2020 e ufficiale nel 2021.
MM in Ducati nel 2021.
In Honda chi ci mandiamo? Dovizioso e Petrucci?

[fabiotrb]

Per Crutchlow avevo pensato la stessa cosa, ma per quanto riguarda Miller, KTM ha gi? annunciato Binder al posto di Syarin o come si chiama...

Bhe, nel caso Miller potrebbe proprio accasarsi con Cecchinello invece. E con buoni risultati Miller potrebbe sempre ambire ad un posto ufficiale nel Tem interno. Per un motivo o per un altro non penso che una coppia Marc e Cal faccia pi? di due anni insieme. Vuoi per i risultati altalenanti di cal, voi per le voglie magari di Marc di provare altre strade.

E poi dopo Rossi mi sembra che i pi? anziani in gp siano proprio Cal e Dovi. E loro se non portano risultati non sono mica Rossi. Nel 2023 non penso ci saranno pi? entrambe in motogp.

[Heinrich]

Ma va la, notizia assolutamente falsa.

[luciocabrio]

seeeeeeeeeee..e giorgino si accontenterebbe manco morto di un numero in meno..? lui il campeon miicaun comune pilota..

ma io gli ho dato ben due numeri in meno. Ovvero la moto che guidava lui col serbatoio fatto da d.io in persona

Austria: Jack Miller: 'Some truth' to Lorenzo, Ducati rumours

Peter McLaren
8 Aug 2019

Jack Miller feels there is 'some truth' to the shock rumours that the delay in his new Ducati contract is due to interest from Jorge Lorenzo in making a return to the Italian factory in 2020.

Jack Miller thinks there is 'some truth' to the shock rumours that talks are underway between Jorge Lorenzo and Ducati about a return to the Italian factory next season.

After three MotoGP titles with Yamaha, Lorenzo joined Ducati in 2017 and went on to win three races last season - but only after a poor start to the season prompted the decision to join a Repsol Honda 'dream team' alongside reigning champion Marc Marquez in 2019.

However, Lorenzo is yet to gel with the front-end feeling and physical nature of the RCV, not helped by a succession of injuries, including back fractures that have sidelined him since Assen.

Without even a top-ten finish, there were whispers Lorenzo wants out of his two-year Repsol Honda contract and made enquiries about a sensational comeback to his previous role as Andrea Dovizioso's Ducati team-mate.

That came to nothing when the Spaniard's replacement, Mugello winner Danilo Petrucci, duly re-signed for the official team.

But it seems the chance of Lorenzo being back on a Ducati next year is still alive - and explains the delay in confirming Jack Miller's future, with Lorenzo now linked to the Australian's factory seat at the satellite Pramac team.

"I think there is some truth to the rumours about Lorenzo," Miller said on Thursday at the Red Bull Ring.

"For sure, he's looking at something because at the moment he's got nothing. He can't ride that Honda. So it's easy to tuck your tail between your legs and run back.

"I think that Pramac love me, want to keep me, most people in Ducati want to keep me. [But] I've got to make sense of why we're in Austria - quite well into the second half of the season and I've two podiums under my belt - and I've still not signed a contract.

"Most of the [contract] details have been sorted, Pramac has agreed to everything they've been asked to agree to, but still no contract has arrived... We'll wait and see and all I can do is keep doing my best," added Miller, who is currently seventh in the world championship and the top satellite rider.

"This is my first year on the latest material in MotoGP and this is the most competitive era it's ever been in and I've scored two podiums and been in front of those [top] guys on multiple occasions.

"I feel that I've been doing everything I can do in order get myself a job. I'm not stressed at all."

Since the Pramac rider contracts are directly with Ducati, it is the factory that has the final say on the satellite team line-up.

Pressed on who at Ducati is yet to give the green light on his new contract, Miller said only: "Nearly everyone in Ducati wants to keep me. Some people have fond memories [of Lorenzo]? but like I said, I'm not stressed. I'm just here to do my job."

Ducati Corse general manager Gigi Dall?Igna was known to be the driving force behind the original signing of Lorenzo.

With the Dovizioso-Ducati title challenge melting in the face of domination by Marquez this season, might Dall?Igna feel Ducati needs Lorenzo back just as much as he needs them?

It would depend on Lorenzo being released/bought out of the HRC contract and prepared to become a satellite rider for the first time in his MotoGP career.

Meanwhile, Lorenzo's exit would free-up a factory Honda place, for which Miller would be by far the best qualified of the few riders yet to sign for 2020.

Honda plucked Miller from Moto3 directly to MotoGP in 2015. He won a wet race for Marc VDS at Assen the following year but joined Pramac Ducati in 2018 after his contract wasn't renewed under former HRC team manager Livio Suppo.

"I am very happy with the team I am in and I would love to continue this relationship and that is my number one goal, but for sure if we cannot do this then we have to look elsewhere! And at the moment there are no other options really," Miller said of a potential Honda swap with Lorenzo.

One rumour that Miller did stamp-out was that, if Lorenzo returns, he would move to the Ducati World Superbike team (where Alvaro Bautista is rumoured to be leaving for Honda).

"I've not thought about World Superbikes. It's not crossed my mind, I've just started going well here and I've not thought about leaving.

"Once Jorge comes back fro the Maldives or wherever he is, we?ll find out what I?m doing..."

Miller's rookie team-mate Francesco Bagnaia is in the first year of a two-year contract.

Lorenzo, winner last season in Austria, is planning a return to MotoGP action at Silverstone later this month.

Austria: Rossi 'surprised' by Lorenzo rumours

'If you look at the results, it has some sense... But Lorenzo is in factory Honda and I think he can ride this bike in some way' - Valentino Rossi on rumours Jorge Lorenzo is seeking a return to Ducati for 2020.

After spending 24-years in the grand prix paddock, there are not many rumours that come as a surprise to Valentino Rossi.

But even the Italian was caught off-guard by speculation that triple MotoGP champion Jorge Lorenzo could quit Repsol Honda after just one season and make a shock return to Ducati via Jack Miller's place at the Pramac team.

Miller himself now believes it is more than just pure gossip. "After some feedback I heard, for sure there's some truth behind the rumours," said the Australian.

So what does Rossi, who was team-mate to Lorenzo at Yamaha from 2008-2010 and again from 2013-16, make of it all?

"For sure it's a surprise for everybody to hear about the Ducati," Rossi said.

"If you look at the results, it has some sense because Jorge has a lot of problems with the Honda and looks like last year he was strong with the Ducati. He some crashes, bad luck or injuries but he arrived at a good speed. So from this point of view it makes sense. But I don?t know if it's true.

"Anyway, Lorenzo is in factory Honda and I think he can ride this bike in some way, maybe he has to modify something and I think he was also very very unlucky because especially the first injury with a flat track bike before the first test was a disaster for him, because he arrived already injured and that moment of the season is crucial because you can have six days for ride the bike without the pressure of a race weekend.

"So he missed [the Sepang test] and after that, when you arrive at the race weekends, everything is more difficult because you don?t have time, you have to push. Then every time he did some mistake he crashed and was injured more, so it's a difficult situation at this moment.

"But he is in the factory Honda team and with a bit more time a bit more luck he can be competitive."

Lorenzo, yet to take a top ten finish for Repsol Honda, has been absent since Assen due to fractures of his vertebrae but hopes to return next time at Silverstone.
