Jorge Lorenzo gives his memories of the controversial 2015 MotoGP season finale
Three-time MotoGP world champion Jorge Lorenzo reflects on his victorious 2015 season, stating, “I knew I couldn’t fail” in the controversial finale that secured him the title. Lorenzo’s exceptional performance in 2015, notably in the final round in Valencia, forced the championship battle to a thrilling conclusion. The 2015 finale was marred by controversy following a clash between Valentino Rossi and Marc Marquez at Sepang, leading to Rossi’s back-of-the-grid start in Valencia. Despite the pressure and drama, Lorenzo clinched the championship by just five points, converting pole to victory in Valencia. However, the muted celebrations by Yamaha that year marked the beginning of the end of Lorenzo’s relationship with the team, eventually leading him to join Ducati in 2017. Lorenzo retired from MotoGP in 2019, following a challenging sole campaign with the factory Honda team.
