想想几年前他刚到Ducati的时候，适应新车型。

从Lorenzo Yamaha转到Ducati后，在“”内为本人发言

对于洛伦佐来说，刚到Ducati的时候要学的是如何刹车，拇指操作后刹车。(阿尔伯特爱因斯坦)(美国)。

Lorenzo说「我从卡塔尔站开始用后刹车」

「但是还没有习惯，一开始减速时几乎没时间去用后刹，现在能稍微用一点了」

「用后刹，不仅可以更有效的减速，还有进弯时后轮会更流畅的滑动。虽然现在还没做到最好，但已经比较完美。」

「这9年来，我所骑过的其他的车，不需要使用后刹车。但是现在的Ducati需要用，用好了确实会快。」

Lorenzo在转到Ducati之后，在西班牙GP上第4位发车，最终获得第3，转队后首次等领奖台。

「转队后直到这次重登领奖台，我跑了相当长的一段时间了。在这段时间内，怎么更好的刹车，尤其是后刹的运用，都得到了锻炼和提升。」

　Lorenzo继续说。

「经过长时间的练习，我觉得自然就能变的更好。我之前不用后刹就这样跑了9年，入弯的时候从来不甩尾（滑动后轮）。」

「目前Ducati这个车，有必要用了。除非换车，不过即便是换车了，我认为还是继续练习后刹车这个技能。」

「要不停的去找方法，发挥车的最大潜力。每台车到的情况都不一样，所以不能停止努力。」

曾经的Lorenzo加入Ducati时，自信满满的想要重拾当年的辉煌。而18年转到Honda之后，

舆论这边几乎少有对他的期待，更多是对Dani的惋惜。

借用朋友的一句话：motogp不仅仅是比赛，还是一场show

以下为Lorenzo发布退役原文

“Hello everyone, thank you very much to everyone who accepted my invitation and attended this press conference, it really means a lot to me and makes me very happy,” began Lorenzo. “I always thought there are four significant days in the career of a rider. Your first race, your first win, your first championship and then the day you retire. Well, as you may imagine, I’m here to tell you this day has arrived for me. I want to announce this will be my last race in MotoGP, and that at the end of this race I will retire from professional racing.

“I was 3-years-old when everything started. Almost 30 years of complete dedication to this sport, my sport. The ones who worked with me, know how much of a perfectionist I am, how much hard work and intensity I put into this. Being like this requires a high level of auto motivation, that’s why after nine unforgettable years with Yamaha, without a doubt the most glorious of my career, I felt I needed a change if I wanted to maintain this high commitment with my sport. Moving to Ducati gave me that big boost I needed and even though the results were bad I used that extra motivation as fuel to not give up and finally win that special race at Mugello, in front of all the Ducati fans. After that, when I signed for Honda I got a similar feeling, achieving one of the dreams of every rider: becoming an official HRC factory rider.”

“Unfortunately, injuries soon came to play an important role in my season, being unable to ride in normal physical conditions. This, plus a bike that never felt natural to me, made my races very difficult. Anyway, I never lost the patience and I kept fighting, just thinking that was a simple matter of time and that after all things would get into the right place.

“But, as I started to see some light I had this bad crash in Montmelo test, and some weeks later that ugly one in Assen. At that point I had to admit, that when I stopped rolling into the gravel, the first thought that came into my mind was “what the hell I’m doing here? Is this really worth it? I’m done with it.” Some days later after reflecting a lot about my life and career, I decided to give it a try. I wanted to be sure I was not making an early decision.

“The truth is from that crash, the hill became too high for me, and even if I tried I couldn’t find the motivation and patience to be able to keep climbing it. You know, I love this sport, I love to ride, but above all things, I love to win. I understood, that if I’m not able to fight for something big, to fight for the title or at least to fight for victories, I cannot find the motivation to keep going especially at this stage of my career. I realised that my goal with Honda, at least in a short time, was not realistic. I have to say I feel very sorry for Honda, especially for Alberto, who really was the one who trusted me and gave me that opportunity.

“I remember that day in Montmelo when we meet and I told him “Don’t make a mistake signing the wrong rider Alberto, trust me and you will not regret”. very sadly, I have to say that I disappointed him, so I did to Takeo, Kuwata, Nomura San and all my team, who I have to say they always treated me in an exceptional way. However, I really feel this is the best decision for me and for the team, Jorge Lorenzo and Honda cannot be here just to score some points!”

An emotional Lorenzo then reflected on his “beautiful” career: “Coming back to my beautiful and successful career, I have always said I’m a very lucky guy. Sometimes I feel a bit like the movie ‘One in a Billion’, the documentary that explained the life of the only Indian whoever came to the NBA. During my career I raced against dozens and dozens of exceptional riders of my generation, some of them even more talented than I am. No one has been as successful as me, but especially most of them did not even make it to the world championship, having to go to work in common jobs. That’s why I feel so lucky to be able to archive much more than I ever imagine I could archive when I first started. And yes, it’s true, I always worked very hard, but without being at the right place at the right time, and especially without the help of many people who worked with me through my career, would have been impossible for me to achieve what I have done. 

“That's why I would like to sincerely thank all of these people. Especially Carmelo and Dorna for the treatment and for making MotoGP so great. Derbi, Aprilia, Yamaha, Ducati, Honda, specially Giampiero Sachi, Gigi Dalligna, Lin Jarvis and Alberto Puig. Obviously my mother for bringing me to this world. My father, for showing me the passion for this sport and all the sacrifice he has done for me during these years. My fans and my fan club for the unconditional love through all these years. Thank you to all the people that work with me as a personal team, with special mention to Albert Valera, for being always honest and loyal. So, this is it, with all my heart, I really wish you all the best, professionally and personally. Thanks for everything.”
