Andrea Dovizioso lost the lead in a world championship in Barcelona in which he has only moderate faith given his difficulties, all of which are due to the new Michelin tire. Since the Austrian campaign, he has let go of the prey Ducati that he had been holding in the shadows since 2013 since the Italian still wants to continue his career in MotoGP. However, all the starting places are taken. Except possibly one, depending on what a court decides. This is Aprilia. And Noale's brand does not hide all its interest in its compatriot, three-time vice-world champion.

« Andrea Iannone has always behaved professionally, I can only hope that he can get back on the track soone » begins Max Biaggi so as not to give the impression of having already resigned oneself to the fate of Iannone. " I would certainly be happy if his disqualification could be reduced, but for now we can only wait ».
« However, if the sanction is confirmed, it would be an issue to be seriously considered for Aprilia, forced to change plans for the future. In this case, the name of Dovizioso would be the ideal name, thanks to his experience acquired over the years at Ducati. The three second places obtained in the drivers' ranking are proof of this ". This is the message sent. It will be recalled that Dovi's other options are test pilot positions to be confirmed, however, or a sabbatical year. So to speak, pre-retirement…
