He comes with a mountain of knowledge on key rivals

Lorenzo is almost unique in terms of MotoGP knowledge, bringing information about Honda’s two biggest competitors. Joining Crutchlow as the only man to have ridden the Yamaha, Ducati and Honda, he’ll be privy to Desmosedici secrets, rated by many as the best bike on the grid. Knowing the Ducati and Yamaha strengths and weaknesses will help Honda to further refine the RC213V to exploit their opponents’ flaws.
