Andrea Dovizioso was the revelation of a 2017 MotoGP season that he had to spend in the shadow of the new recruit of the reds, Jorge Lorenzo. Instead, the Italian burst into the open, grabbing six victories, playing for the title until the last Grand Prix, which did not fail to raise his rating. So much so that the Borgo Panigale factory is now faced with the problem of renewing its contract. But DesmoDovi assures that it was not the only interest of the past campaign. He recalls that there was also a certain Johann Zarco…

An arrival on the front of the stage with a bang that the Frenchman assumes with the calm and determination which are his trademark. He goes so far as to shake up the values ​​at Yamaha by complimenting in particular a 2017 version of the M1 that its official counterparts have not endorsed. Far from it.

The end of the race of the double Moto2 World Champion showed that the rise in power was only just beginning. A situation that Dovi recalls, when thinking about the start of the school year which will take place in Sepang for tests scheduled for next week: “ Zarco was a reality in 2017 and he will be again in 2018. And it's not because he was on the podium in the last Grands Prix. It's also because he drives very well. This season, he will be even stronger because he will have gained experience ».

We must therefore hope for more than three podiums which were his glory days last year. Among others. To be honest, a victory would not shock anyone on the board. This shows the path traveled by the man who was crowned best beginner and most successful independent driver with the Tech3 team.
