The 2023 MotoGP season has been littered with cra﷽shes and injuries, with the new format of sprint races introducing 🐬an extra layer of chaos.

But three-t🧸ime premier class champion Lorenzo also✃ sees problems with the aerodynamics.

“I like the sprint but I speak as a spectator,” he told . ✤“I understand the riders,🤪 the risk doubles or triples.

“The bikes are strong with the aerodynamics. I am🤪 worried about the health 𓆉of the riders. But as a spectator, I like it.

“We’🔯re getting to a point where MotoGP bikes are really scary.

“They have 300hp aꦐnd go over 370km/h. If we don’t [pause], in a few years they will hit 400km/h.

“I thi🐈nk we have to limit the power 🎶of these bikes in some way.

“I would limit the aerodynamics as much as possible, maybe ❀I would eliminate☂ it.”

Fellow legend Casey Stoner recently told : “You’ve got to take the manufacturers’ perspective, but what t👍hey’re not doing right now is taking in the riders’ perspective.

“Th𓂃e show, the danger, the more accidents we’re seeing theཧse days? It’s ridiculous.

“Winglets, gone. Ride height devices, gone. Anti-wheelie, gone. Traction control cut to a safety level and nothing more. H🌱alf this shit needs to go.”

‘Honda and Yamaha lacked a test rider’

Lorenzo retired f🍸rom MotoGP in 2019 after an injury-ra𝓡vaged year at Honda before briefly rejoining Yamaha, the team where he won all three of his championships, as a test rider.

That role was limited by the pandemic, then 💟descended into a row with his replacement Cal Crutchlow.

“Honda and Yamaha didn’t have a r෴eally sensitive rider to develop a bike tha😼t was rideable for everyone,” Lorenzo said.

“At Honda, they listened to me at the time. I had been to Japan to do some w♛ork and modifications on the bike. But I had the misfortune to crash and hurt myself at Assen.

“Without that cra🐓sh, I would have continued at Honda and with a better bike s🐻uited to my characteristics.

“The turning point was the crash at Assen, that ch𓄧a♓nged my mentality.

“I 🔯began to appreciate other things in life. That fall took three or four ༒years off my career.”

Lorenzo spent two seasons at Ducati, one of many big-name riders who failed to end the championship hoodoo that stretched back to 🌊2007 until Francesco Bagnaia finally won last year.

“It’s not something you do over൩night,” Lorenzo said about Ducati’s current domi꧂nance.

“You need to stay 🌠calm, to understand what to keep on the bike and what to change.

“Gigi Dall’Igna has d𒁃one a great job since 2014. Slowly he made Ducati the best bike, but it was a long job.

“It’s the era of the European brands in MotoGP, not the Japanese. I don’t know how long this will las🅷t.”
