Former world champion Jorge Lorenzo praised Marc Márquez’s recent form, noting his maturity and smarter riding after a victory in Germany that cut his deficit to 18 points behind championship leader Jorge Martín. Lorenzo highlighted Márquez’s reduced crashes and strategic risk‑taking as signs of a "new" Márquez.
