Before his collarbone break in Assen in 2013, Lorenzo looked on top form as he sought to defend his second crown. Then came the Dutch GP and a wet practice crash, then the incredible display of determination that followed as the Mallorcan raced with the recently operated-on injury. Later in the season, as then-new kid on the block Marquez gained traction, Lorenzo was fighting back to full fitness as the paddock headed for the UK, and the ensuing duel didn’t disappoint. After all-out war for pole position that saw the duo dip closer and closer to the possibility of a first 1:59 lap of Silverstone, won by Marquez, the race that followed was a modern classic – the two title favorites, down to the last corner. It was a victory for Lorenzo that lit the touch paper on the rest of the year as the two Spaniards fought for the crown – and will be fresh in the Yamaha rider’s mind as he seeks another comeback, this time for different reasons.
