MotoGP: Jorge Lorenzo not focusing on Honda contract issue

The Hindu  

Jorge Lorenzo insists he is not yet focusing on his future with Honda Repsol as he aims to put a frustrating 2019 MotoGP campaign behind him. Three-time MotoGP champion Lorenzo has struggled this season, with his year marred by a back injury and poor form. The Spaniard's campaign hit a new low in the Australian Grand Prix in October, as he finished last, 66 seconds adrift of his Honda team-mate and this season's champion Marc Marquez, who won the race. "You cannot think about getting the apple when the tree is not already in the ground," the Spaniard told Crash.net ahead of the final race of 2019 in Valencia.
