Andrea Dovizioso is today another pilot. Talented but hidden for years, he never gave the impression of being able to break what commentators call the glass ceiling. The one who holds you back from reaching the firmament. In 2017, DesmoDovi defeated the Indian sign and entered the closed clan of those you need to have to hope to win a title. A metamorphosis that he talks about in his book “ Asphalt ". An autobiography that forgets no one or even anything. Like settling some scores. Like with Andrea Iannone...
Putting Joe the Maniac and DesmoDovi in the same box was a bit like having the ambition to marry fire and water. But according to the vice-world champion, the story went further, and it still leaves its mark. Two Italians, certainly, but with radically different values. A period during which the man who is now uncontested among the reds required great resilience... So much so that, now, things are swinging...
We can thus read: “ it was clear from the start that Iannone was the horse Ducati was betting on for the future. It was incomprehensible to what extent he had managed to fool the team, including those with whom I had formed strong bonds. At that time, the leaders and sponsors did not see the reality, nor the arrogance and incorrect behavior of Iannone ».
On the pieces chosen by Tutomotoriweb, we discover: “ everyone was hypnotized. It is the symbol of this generation which makes people believe in the story they invent rather than focusing on what they do. I'm not talking about what happens off the track and in the paddock, which may not seem relevant. I do not judge. But I'm talking about what happened in the box with a permanent aggressiveness, a systematic exaggeration, daily recklessness, which seem to be in phase with the Ducatist culture but which has nothing rational about it. ».
« Against me, he didn't just want to win. He wanted to humiliate me. When he found himself in front of me, he lost all measure and concentration. I told myself that one day Ducati would open its eyes, that I was the only one to see the naked king, that I was moving around there like a living dead. I found out later from my manager that at the start of the 2017 season, Iannone's entourage had gone to see him to tell him that I had to find another team because it was certain that Lorenzo was going to arrive. It was in Qatar. And, luckily, my manager didn't tell me about it until mid-season. Ducati finally chose me ».
Iannone then left for Suzuki for a disappointing season and despite his good results at the start of the campaign, Suzuki does not seem to want to keep him, hesitating between recovering Lorenzo or bet on Joan Mir. Joe the Maniac would then go to Aprilia, but without his manager Charles Pernat who no longer has the patience to take care of him. Although a talented pilot, the character Iannone apparently ends up boring everyone...
