Jorge Lorenzo has been asked about returning to M⛦otoGP with wildcard races, as Dani Pedrosa has done.

Pedrosa, n🃏ow a KTM test rider, received plaudits from onlookers and fellow riders with his wildcard appearances last season❀.

Now🔥 38 and six years on from his full-time racing retirement, Pedrosa will race as a wildcard for KTM in Jerez this year.

Could his fierce ri🐽val Lorenzo imagine doing the sa𒁏me?

“Motorcycles and racing have been part of m♕y life for 30 years,” he told&nbs🃏p;.

🍨“They are still part of my life, but in𝐆 a different way.

“I have competed for 18 years as a professional.

“The adrenaline and happiness that winning races and being a Mo🙈toGP champion generates is very difficult to achieve in other areas of life.

“But, to achieve victories and championships, one has to sacrifice many th💟ings in one's life and has to lose others that are also very interesting.

“It is very di♏fficult to repeat those peaks of happiness.

“But now, taking an averageℱ of my days, I consider myself happier ꧋than before.”

He shut down the idea of follow🔜ing in Pe🌠drosa’s footsteps.

“Not at all,🎐 that chapter of my life is completely closed,ཧ” Lorenzo said.

“If I haven't returned 🌺when I'm 33 or 34 years old, I'm not going⭕ to do it now.

“Nor to be a test rider.

“Cars giv🌞e me adrenaline and competition and without so much risk, I don't think I'll ꧂work as a motorcycle racer again.”

Lorenzo retired five years ago from a career wh🌄ich yielded two MotoGP titles, and is 𓆏now 36.

He remains racing - but now on four wheels.

“I will continue competing,” he said.

“I will ওdo it with Aston Martin, in the Italian GT🌜. This year there will only be four races.”

Lorenzo also works as a broad🔜caster on MotoGP for Spanish television.

He desc♌ribed it: “Very relaxed, it's not the 🅰pressure of racing when you're a rider.

“When you are a rider, you not only have pressure from your team and sponsors, but you are risking your life every time you put on yourꦬ helmet.

“Talkiꦦng about motorcycle🌼s is much easier given the difficulty of the job, because it also has its own thing.

“I have a great time t🔯alking about what I like most, contributing my experience to the viewer.”
