For the first time in his ten-year career in MotoGP, Andrea Dovizioso finds himself competing for a world title. This at the very moment when Ducati had convinced itself that, to pass this milestone, it would have to poach a top player in the category at great expense. This one is now a Lorenzo paid 12,5 million euros. Unheard of in the history of the discipline. But it's the one who earns ten times less who runs the shop. A big gap that will inevitably have to be reduced.
DesmoDovi is definitely changing its approach. On the track, his new physical and mental preparation gives the results that we know. A metamorphosis which is also likely to be demonstrated in the next negotiations with a view to renewing the contract with the Reds. The one who, before the next Japanese Grand Prix, only regrets sixteen points on the leader Marc Marquez, warns: “ From the start of next year, Ducati and I will have to sit down and talk ».
« We will see what conditions we can find. But these negotiations will be very different from those carried out last year ". Here is the Borgo Panigale factory warned. And, at the same time, the other teams who can join the ranks!
