It was as the undisputed leader of the official Ducati team that he showed himself Andrea Dovizioso during the official presentation of the reds in Switzerland. An internal victory that the double world vice-champion can savor. Because the fight was tough. Against Andrea Iannone, then against Jorge Lorenzo. Now is the time to look ahead. Or almost, because DesmoDovi did not forget Por Fuera in the presentation of its plans for the 2019 season…
The GP19 displays it subliminally on its fairing: victory is now! The synthesis of these last two good seasons will have to be done this vintage. And the aura of a supreme title will erase the pitfalls of the past. In the meantime, there are still stubborn residues... At least that is what the posture of a Dovi which always has the period Lorenzo of the last two years in mind: “Lorenzo was taken to win the title, that was obvious, but you know how it happened.”
He continues on Tutomotoriweb : “It was normal that a team like Ducati wanted to add two riders capable of winning the title. I think it's clear that the relationship with Danilo will be better than the one with Jorge. This will allow us to talk and improve the bike, the team and ourselves. In my opinion, this will be an added value. Without Jorge, there will be more harmony.”
Dovi finishes: “However, nothing serious has happened in the last two seasons. We have known teams where having two high-level drivers led to much worse situations. I think what's happening between me and Danilo is actually less normal. But we will sort things out and we hope it will be of added value. With Jorge, it was normal that there was always a lot of attention on him, but I thought of myself first”.
