Jorge Lorenzo says Honda and Yamaha “always come back” despite recent MotoGP struggles against Ducati, Aprilia and KTM.
Jorge Lorenzo believes that Honda and Yamaha will soon make a comeback in MotoGP, despite their recent struggles in the constructors’ standings.
With a combined total of 39 premier-class titles, including Honda’s 21 and Yamaha’s 18, the two manufacturers have a rich history in the sport.
However, both Honda and Yamaha haven’t secured a championship title since 2019 and 2021, respectively, with Ducati dominating the last four seasons.
Despite facing challenges and slipping behind other manufacturers in recent seasons, Lorenzo is confident in the strength and history of Honda and Yamaha to return to the front.
The upcoming changes in engine and tire regulations for 2027 offer a chance for Japanese teams to close the gap with their European competitors.
As riders prepare for the new season amid uncertainties, Lorenzo sees Ducati as a safe choice but acknowledges Aprilia’s impressive performance and cornering abilities during testing.
