Andrea Dovizioso was unlucky at the start of the last British Grand Prix. He could do nothing to avoid the sinking motorcycle of Fabio Quartararo who was already on the ground. His Ducati encountered the Yamaha Petronas transformed into a springboard for the red motorcycle which took off, ejecting its rider before crashing to the ground and being consumed in flames... A violent accident from which DesmoDovi will recover, even if he will feel it spend these next few days...
Andrea Dovizioso will not remember everything and he will suffer from hip pain. He will also have a hematoma in his eye, but given the events that led him to find himself in this state, he can thank fate for not regretting more serious injuries. His manager Simone Battistella wanted to reassure GPOne: “ Andrea will be back on the bike on Thursday during the two-day test at Misano » announced Dovi’s traveling companion on Sunday evening.

Dovizioso was repatriated from England by plane to Italy on Sunday. Although he initially complained of memory lapses suspecting a concussion which prompted a helicopter transport to Coventry Hospital. “ Andrea is fine “, insisted Battistella. " He did not suffer a fracture or dislocation. Doctors gave the green light for his return to Italy. Andrea complains of pain in her head and right hip, but it's not serious. Too bad, because we have reason to believe that he could have challenged for a podium at Silverstone. The accident was ugly and dangerous, but Andrea escaped with a black eye. He will now focus on his recovery. He will probably suffer again on Monday... »

Battistella nevertheless adds: “ before Andrea undergoes the test in Misano, he must of course undergo further medical examinations. Maybe he will need to undergo therapy so that he can quickly return to his old form ».
Battistella is convinced that Dovi could have finished in the top three. “ Andrea could have driven as fast as Viñales, who took third place », Underlines Dovi’s manager. “ Andrea was just in the wrong place at the wrong time ».
