Lorenzo: Everything is possible in MotoGP

Jorge Lorenzo will attempt to draw a line under a miserable Qatar weekend and make a fresh start to the 2018 MotoGP season in Argentina this weekend.

The triple world champion was forced to bail off his Ducati due to brake failure at Losail, just after the halfway stage. Lorenzo had been holding tenth place, in a race eventually won by team-mate Andrea Dovizioso.

The Spaniard's second Ducati season was supposed to be easier than his first, but Lorenzo looks far from comfortable at present, ending pre-season in search of a bike that could provide a mix of the 2017 and 2018 chassis characteristics.

The latest Desmosedici wing package - instantly to Lorenzo's liking last year - was also discarded in Qatar, but the Spaniard feels they are now 'close' to a 'more suitable setting' for his riding style.

“After the disappointment of Qatar, as well as trying to understand the causes of the problem so it doesn’t happen again [Click Here for Brembo statement], 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 said.

"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."

The Mallorcan certainly won't want to dwell on last year's Argentina race, when he collided with Andrea Iannone at turn one. Lorenzo's best Termas result remains a third place for Yamaha at the inaugural 2014 event.
