This weekend, at Mugello, this will be the opportunity or never to Andrea Dovizioso to get back into the title race. After two successive retirements just as his rival Marc Márquez was on the top step of the podium, the situation is serious for the Ducati official. But not yet desperate. Because the character doesn't give up. It was also through self-sacrifice that he ended up being among the best, at 32, and almost cleaning up his stand... So yes, Márquez is undoubtedly a formidable opponent. But to consider it as the best of all…

... There is a step and DesmoDovi refuses to take it by exposing the situation on Marca: “ I think you can never know what the intrinsic velocity of a driver is. You can get a vague idea, you can evaluate his bike, but you can never really understand how fast he really is. ».

He pursues : " Márquez is very strong, in all areas, and in some of them he has superiority over all of us. For example, it is obvious that he manages to save situations on the motorcycle that would condemn anyone to a fall. It also appears that he often falls during testing, but almost never in racing. But I don't consider him the strongest. If that were the case, I wouldn't be constantly thinking about the title ».

But he ends: “ when someone like Márquez wins like at Le Mans, pushing the second Honda driven by Pedrosa to seven seconds, it means that he is the one who makes the difference ».

Andrea Dovizioso is now 39 points behind in the championship Márquez...
