Andrea Dovizioso was not able to take much advantage of the Aprilia RS-GP during the two days of testing that he had with the Noale brand at Mugello. Because the rain got involved. 25 laps on Tuesday and only 14 this Wednesday, on a wet track, will have been possible, which is far from the series accomplished a few weeks ago in Jerez. And now ? The one who has 15 victories under his belt and three vice-world champion statuses will have to make up his mind. The manufacturer Aprilia waits and is satisfied to see happy the one he hopes to become its pilot. It's already that.
Andrea Dovizioso took stock of his two days of testing at Mugello which were reduced to a bare minimum due to terrible weather. But what could have appeared as a missed opportunity was not, since the former Ducati is delighted to have been able, once again, to ride on a MotoGP : " I have to say that I am happy and I am happy to know that my fans want me to come back to MotoGP. They are not attracted to motocross, that’s clear! »
He adds on motograndprix.it: " everyone is asking me to come back as soon as possible and they see this possibility of returning with Aprilia, a company that worked very well with Aleix Espargarò in the first races. From my fans, there is this hope and I am delighted, because it is a world where you can quickly be forgotten. It's nice to feel this affection. But as for what will happen, it's too early to tell ».
On this sensitive subject, he recalls: “ I was clear from the beginning, and it was the truth. I wanted to do two tests and that's what happened. After that we will talk about this and the future ". On a wild card from this season, he answers: “ I don't think it's important to talk about racing because it's not in the plan for me at the moment. I couldn't push anymore with this bike, so I think there is no reason to think about racing at the moment. And we will see. Maybe I'll get a chance to do some more testing, but we need to talk about it ».
Andrea Dovizioso: “I don’t know about my future”
The ergonomic changes made by the Venetian company did not provide any feedback from a speed point of view, as it was not possible to beat the clock. 14 laps divided into 3 series with rain tires were completed. “ Unfortunately, I don't have much feedback to explain to Aprilia because we weren't able to ride. When you do the first test and you change bikes, it's always a big change and you need time to realize and understand a lot of things, a lot of details, especially on Mugello” said Dovi who would now consider a trial at Misano.
On the RS-GP he specifies compared to what he knew before: “ everything changed. The first thing is the riding position, and then you can push and try to figure out all the areas. I have some ideas, but you have to push and be quick to understand all the details because you may have some sensations immediately, but it is important to understand the sensation when you push. And I couldn't have this condition ».
Andrea Dovizioso finished : " I live my life day by day right now, so I don't have any stress. If there's a good situation for me, I'll take it. I don't know about my future, I still think that now is not the time to talk about the future. I'm pretty happy, I have more time to do other things than what I've been doing for the last 19 years, and that's good ».
