If we listen to the main stakeholders in the MotoGP title race this year, the thing already seems to be filmed: Marc Marquez will be titled, and the interest lies only in knowing who will be his vice-champion. Really ? In the stands, some still have hope. Like the chief mechanics, faithful servants of their pilot's cause. And the one who officiates alongside Jorge Lorenzo, or Christian Gabarrini, is one of them.
It must be said that since Mugello and its Italian Grand Prix, the wheel has turned for Por Fuera. Here he is at the head of three victories and with the disappointment of not having been able to exploit his pole position at Silverstone, since the British Grand Prix has been canceled.
The fact remains that the Ducati is doing better, and it will only ask to confirm its good tests experienced in Misano to be the bike to beat during a weekend which will be that of the San Marino Grand Prix: “ Ducati is much more competitive than in the past. There were tracks like the Sachsenring or Assen where the Ducati was in difficulty. Now we can fight for at least a podium on every track. The bike has improved a lot » warns the engineer.
He insists on Tutomotoriweb : " we have two very intelligent and strong pilots. So we don't need big changes, but we need to help them with tuning the bike and electronics ». Lorenzo is 71 points from Marc Marquez on the eve of the thirteenth round of the championship and Dovizioso at 72 lengths. Can the Majorcan still believe it? “ There are still a few races to play. Anything can happen in this championship. We do our best in every race. We'll see who comes out on top at the end of this season. ».
We will recall that Gabbarini will not follow Lorenzo at Honda. Ramon Aurin will in fact be the chief mechanic of the Majorcan in his adventure with Honda.
