V\u00edctor Cubeles and Jorge Lorenzo<\/p>\n

Five-time world champion and MotoGP<\/a> Legend Lorenzo, who retired at the end of 2019, explained:<\/p>\n

\u201cI have lived motorcycling from the inside throughout my life. Now I feel it is time to give back to the sport everything it has given me, creating a system that helps young riders grow with method, criteria and a clear vision. Victor perfectly represents that starting point.\u201d<\/p>\n

The connection with Cubeles is no coincidence, with Chicho Lorenzo, Jorge’s father, having already coached the 15-year-old at \u201ckey stages of his development\u201d.<\/p>\n

Jorge Lorenzo’s involvement will be \u201cdirect and ongoing, actively participating in key project decisions and transferring to the rider’s day-to-day life the demands, mindset and standards that marked his career as world champion\u201d.<\/p>\n
