The popular verdict has fallen in Italy. A peninsula that only has eyes for one Valentino Rossi. However, it is the compatriot Dovizioso who, for two years, has reported the best results in MotoGP in the country. Injustice? The main person concerned does not take umbrage. He even explains the reason for this unrivaled popularity, even with all the success in the world...
Happy is Italy in MotoGP. She has a living legend, Valentino Rossi, a spearhead, Andrea Dovizioso, and hopes like Danilo Petrucci, Franco Morbidelli et Francis Bagnaia. However, in the stands, the transalpine cause is only tinged with yellow. The color of a Doctor who won nothing in 2018. But who still comes out on top in the polls when it comes to drawing the coast of love.
Despite his ten successes in two seasons and his two consecutive vice-world champion statuses, Andrea Dovizioso, although official for the Italian manufacturer Ducati, remains behind in people's hearts. But he feels no resentment. On Tutomotoriweb, he even analyzes: « Valentino Rossi won many titles. He spent most of the years at a different level. It's something awesome. In addition, thanks to his character, how he wins and how we talk about it, he stays in the spotlight.”
He finishes : “He is old enough for MotoGP, but he can race like in Malaysia, and he fought with Maverick, to be the best Yamaha rider until the last race. What he does is special, whether he wins or not.”
In 2019, the Doctor will do it again, at 40 years old. It will be recalled thatAndrea Dovizioso became 125cc world champion in 2004, year, where Red celebrated his fourth world title.
