Ducati Team’s Jorge Lorenzo has expressed he feels strongly about finding a more suitable setting with his Desmosedici GP18 that’s more in line with his riding style this weekend at the second stop of the 2018 MotoGP World Championship in Argentina.

The Spaniard, who crashed out of the opening round due to a mechanical failure with his front brake, has declared his commitment to making amends, stating he believes he can fight for victory on any given weekend.

“After the disappointment of Qatar, as well as trying to understand the causes of the problem so it doesn’t happen again, for us the important thing is to continue to work as hard as ever, because I think we are close to finding a more suitable setting for my riding style,” Lorenzo explained.

“I’m working with my usual commitment and I’m sure that we are going to get good results soon, even in Argentina, because I don’t believe there are favourable or unfavourable tracks, and when I arrive at a circuit I always think I can fight for the win. Everything is possible in MotoGP – the championship is still very long and we have to think positively.”

In what has been a troubled start for the multi-time world champion, this weekend marks a fresh start as he endeavours to claw his way back into title contention.
