All was not lost or uninteresting Silverstone, scene this season of the wreck of the British Grand Prix. A cancellation announced for good reasons, but a decision taken at the end of a procedure discovered in real time. An improvisation that Dorna doesn't want to live again, especially since she put her under the control of the teams. What regrets Andrea Dovizioso.
Democracy is good for gathering opinions, but when the moment of decision arrives, you have to be the one to make the decision alone.

A situation thatAndrea Dovizioso comment on speedweek : " Dorna CEO Carmelo Ezpeleta conducted a survey of MotoGP riders. The idea was: "I'm not making this decision, but we can race on Monday." What I did not like. There was a choice, the manufacturers would have to vote, whether it was for Monday or not. I don't think it was a fair deal. Because if you leave the decision to the teams at each Grand Prix, you will always have selfish positions. This shouldn't happen. In my opinion, this question should be decided by the organization. On the one hand, it's good when Ezpeleta asks the teams, because it shows the good relationship between Dorna and the teams. We can openly discuss everything today. I like this. You can hear everyone's opinion. But you shouldn't let them decide ».

Furthermore, we will remind you that a Grand Prix has already taken place on Monday. It was in 2009 in Qatar. The rain then fell on the Losail track and Bridgestone, the only manufacturer at that time, did not bring rain tires into the middle of the desert...
