MotoGP ace Jorge Lorenzo is having a dismal season

MotoGP star Jorge Lorenzo has suggested he would sign a new Honda deal if his performances improved.

The Spaniard has endured a challenging season having been ravaged by injuries.

Hes yet to finish a race in the top 10 during his tenure with Honda and speculation has been mounting about his future.

Lorenzo admits a lot needs to change at the Japanese factory, but hed welcome the chance to prove his his worth.

You cannot think about getting the apple when the tree is not already in the ground, he told Crash.net .

Everything comes into the right time. I guess if the results will improve a lot and Honda will be happy and I will be happy, so the thing is to renew the contract.

This happens in the case of everyone.

If its not like this, both parts will take different directions. Its logical in this sport.

But you cannot think about what is going to happen in three, five, or seven months. Its not worth it.

The Frenchman has hinted that hed be keen to replace Lorenzo in the factory garage if the opportunity arose.

The truth is that I dont hide secrets about my future, since I still dont know what Im going to do, he told GPone.

Should a door open with Honda, Id be the right person, since Im the only rider whos free.

As you well know, this is a delicate situation, but Im living it to the fullest.
