During this period of confinement, pilots are at a standstill while their nature pushes them into perpetual motion. We therefore need palliatives to continue to move forward, and among these is reflection on subjects that were until then left fallow. The old stories come out but the pernicious effect is that we also think that we could lead another life... Doubt creeps in, retraining projects are revealed and all that could lead us to retirement premature. Thus, Andrea Dovizioso who has already clearly said that he is wondering what he could decide for 2021. An approach to be taken all the more seriously as DesmoDovi has a project in mind...
Like all of his colleagues in the Grand Prix, Andrea Dovizioso currently spends his days between four walls and alone in front of himself. A condemnation coming from a coronavirus which confined more than half of humanity for an indefinite period. An isolation and immobility that opens up to existential questions. And what does a 34-year-old man who has been vice-world champion three times consecutively think? Ducati these last three seasons? To do something else...
Ducati, through Paolo ciabatti does not worry about this spleen which he assesses as cyclical. However, it is their spearhead, whose departure could put the MotoGP project in difficulty. A consideration to monitor closely, and especially since Dovizioso admits to having a project in mind. Who would have something to occupy an active retiree…
This idea is that of an academy at Valentino Rossi or Fausto Gresini. For the moment, it is taking shape, so we are in the long term. But since that's all there is to think about on these special days, the plan is moving forward. Dovizioso declared on Tuttosport: “ even though I am a top pilot, I can continue to learn from other pilots and other generations. Baldassarri and Petrucci are two talents, I don't place myself as their teacher, but rather the idea of continually giving and receiving. Valentino does it too. His secrets and his example are fundamental for the boys he follows, but he also gets something from them, in fact he remains among the best on the track ».
We will remind you that with the drivers mentioned, there is also in the background his manager and former rally driver Simone Battistella. The Ducati rider then continued: “ an academy like Vale? I'm working on it, but it's not time for announcements yet. I want to do everything right. I have a great plan. I hope it will pass, even if it's complicated to do in Italy, but maybe I found the right place. » The next generation of Italians will soon be spoiled for choice!
