The Valencia Grand Prix, which marked the last meeting of the 2019 season, was not stingy with rumors and other rumors. An agitation caused by a Jorge Lorenzo announcing his retirement which highlighted the file of a Johann Zarco in search of a handlebar for 2020. But the association of the two destinies did not happen since it is the one of Álex Márquez which was finally sealed alongside that of his prestigious brother. Attention then focused on Ducati which, what's more, has its own questions about its riders...
Questions that the Valencia meeting exacerbated. Once again, in fact, Jack Miller showed himself more to his advantage than the official riders in the Ducati clan. Standing up to Dovizioso, the Australian buried Petrucci who finished his performance on the ground for a final assessment which no longer even puts him in the top 5 in the general classification. Furthermore, his retirement offered the team title to Honda Repsol…
It didn't take much for the idea of a Jack Miller quickly established as a team member Dovizioso does not make its way. As for Petrucci, oblivion would be promised to him. A scenario which, however, broke down on the reefs of the actors at Pramac. He's the boss of the satellite team Campinoti who himself put the kibosh on it: “ Jack will also be part of my team in 2020. Don't worry “, declared the person concerned.
As for Jack Miller, he is a good prince: “ we must remember Mugello. Petrucci won the race there in 2019. He did a perfect job there. He's going through a tough time, but I'm sure he'll fight to get back to the top. Many rumors have been circulating. I do not care. I don't want to take the place of another rider at Ducati »
Meanwhile, Carmelo Ezpeleta, CEO of Dorna, promised to Johann zarco and his support Claude Michy, to work on a solution to find him a place in MotoGP. At Ducati we are attentive to the fate of the Frenchman while reflection takes its course on a Avintia team with enhanced standing.
