However, both Valentino Rossi and Jorge Lorenzo did not take part. Lorenzo accused the race direction to have not called him, despite he was the reigning world champion. Also, Valentino Rossi declared that the track had been modified in favor of Honda. In particular, for the Spaniard Marc Marquez. Ugly statements those who had even more poisoned the Moto GP’s climate. Finally, Dorna, organizer of the event, didn’t take any measure.
