Andrea Dovizioso spoke during the official presentation of World Ducati Week, the big celebration of the reds which will be held from July 1 to 3 in Misano and whose program is particularly attractive this year, Ducati having pulled out all the stops for its 90th birthday.
Surprisingly, while the men of Borgo Panigale are still looking for their first victory since the Stoner era, a goal clearly announced by Gigi Dall'Igna and Andrea Iannone, the speech of #4 could seem a little defeatist, even if the The person himself describes him as realistic…
Andrea Dovizioso: “En cours de saison, il n’y a pas de grandes évolutions avec lesquelles tu peux renverser la situation, donc rêver serait stupide; nous sommes conscients des limites que nous avons et nous devons travailler sur les aspects sur lesquels nous ne sommes pas encore aussi forts que nos adversaires.
Unfortunately, there have been ups and downs, there are, and there may still be, because we are still in a catching-up phase and we need to improve certain aspects of the bike. And this year, with the new regulations and the tires that have changed, we had some problems. But we're not looking for excuses; we know what we have to work on, and it's not easy to get, but we have time.
Je suis content de rester chez Ducati les deux prochaines années, et nous avons devant nous plus de la moitié de la saison pour travailler sur nos limites, afin d’être vraiment compétitifs pour l’année prochaine.”
Clearly, between an Iannone ready to do everything to have a chance of winning, and a Dovizioso who is already waiting for next year, life is not easy on the Bologna side...
