Loris Reggiani is now a media man who follows the Grands Prix, but before that he was quite a driver. Who, for example, thirty years ago, made an Aprilia win at Misano in 250cc. At the time, it was anything but common. Eight victories, 41 Grand Prix podiums, that's a big deal for you. And it allows you to speak as you want and say what you think. So, regarding the situation at Ducati…
A situation among the reds that we did not expect. Even in Borgo Panigale we are pleasantly surprised by the hatching of a Andrea Dovizioso in the walls since 2013 and who is at the top of his art. We even say to ourselves that if he had shown himself like this a little earlier, we would have made substantial savings. By avoiding major recruitments. Of the kind Lorenzo. The same Majorcan is aware of what is happening in the Ducati box ensures reggiani who knows the song. To be honest, finding yourself in 2018 next to a successful teammate would be the worst scenario for Por Fuera.
The transalpine retiree explains in the columns of “Il Corriere della Sera”: “ the truth is that the last thing Lorenzo wants is to see Dovizioso World Champion. If he wins when he gets ten times less, then what would be the point? And I don't think he'll be as good as Dovi on the Ducati, even knowing all the circuits ».
That's what's dropped. reggiani also speaks of the metamorphosis of his compatriot: “ Andrea has always had great human qualities, but until now less technical skills. I never imagined he could reach the level he is at today. He's always been fast, but it's not a natural talent, so he's always made up for it with intelligence. Before, he had the fault of leaving beaten against those he considered stronger. ».
We can indeed see this season that things have changed a lot. The catalyst? Lorenzo Of course : " he matured and the arrival of Lorenzo played a role. He saw that a driver as strong as that could be slower than him. Andrea now has confidence in him. He has the potential of a World Champion and he can fight against a Márquez ". The latter is also the first to recognize it from Austria…
