Dovizioso was unhurt after a motocross accident, but he was still stunned. If he recently celebrated his 35th birthday, he saw 36 candles after his fall during a competition and to convince us of this, he took a photo of his damaged helmet. We don't know if this put his mind back in place, but he confided shortly after to his compatriots at Sky Sport, and in particular to talk about a test with Aprilia which will indeed take place...
Andrea Dovizioso had to go through the scanner after his crash in motocross last weekend. The state of his helmet, shown on his social network, suggests the shock he suffered. An adventure that Dovi takes as follows: “ when you break your helmet, it means you went fast, but also that your head is hard ».
Certainly. It remains that the deadline for April 12 to 14 in Jerez with the Aprilia RS-GP version 2021 is maintained. What does he already say about it, and in particular about a prospect with the Noale firm? “ It's very simple, today I live day by day » replies the former Ducati. “ I still don't know what to expect and how it will go. For me it is important to stay on a MotoGP bike and I thank Aprilia for this opportunity. We have the tests in Jerez and then we will see ».
« Right now the answer is never say never » adds the three-time world vice-champion. “ You can't get to know a motorcycle until you ride on it. For the moment, it would be wrong to say absolutely no or absolutely yes. A dream ? Winning with Aprilia would be something “wow”, but I know how many difficulties there are. Dreaming is good but you have to take it step by step. I hope to lend a hand ».
Dovizioso: “I still feel competitive”
Words that will go straight to the hearts of peopleAprilia. That being said, if Dovizioso actually never rode an RS-GP, he was able to observe it during the tests in Qatar who were favorable to him… “ This track is special » he mentions on Sky. " I have always done well there since the first year. Many went very quickly, but this is a separate track and we will have to wait for the following ones to really understand something more. The Aprilia performed well, and Aleix Espargaró went very fast, but he had already shown he was fast in the past. I'm curious to see him in the race ».
Dovizioso ends with this feeling: “ not being in MotoGP this year leaves me a little bitter, also because I still feel competitive ». Aprilia would definitely like to fix that...
