MotoGP Misano1 J1: Davide Tardozzi fears Ferrari syndrome at Ducati

While MotoGP is grinding the new asphalt at Misano, Formula 1 is running at Mugello, which is a track generally reserved for motorcycles. But on this Friday, there is not only this common point in the dates, and the country between the two categories. There are also the colors. This day was thus black for the red tone. The Ferraris, which are celebrating their 1th Grand Prix in Tuscany, have had problems. Problems also encountered by Ducati on the banks of the Adriatic. And it’s starting to get annoying in the box…

The ranking sheet for this first day of San Marino Grand Prix speaks for itself: four Yamaha , four KTM, a Aprilia and only one Ducati in the top 10. An insufficient record for the local manufacturer of the stage. And it is all the more unsustainable because in part it is the result of work in the pits which was not demanding enough.

A rigor that is lost which worries. With Dovizioso 11th in the combined ranking Friday at Misano, alone Petrucci with his 7^e place represents Ducati as potentially able to advance directly to Q2. The team manager Davide Tardozzi is particularly hard at the end of the first two free practices: “ it was definitely a bad performance. We expected a lot, Pirro 15 days ago had done an excellent job on this track and there we based ourselves on what was collected from him. We are deeply disappointed ».

“We must be self-critical”

Andrea Dovizioso had electronic problems in the first round, and we will remember that in Austria he had problems with his tires, which Michelin reported not being at the right pressure... Is it bad luck?

« Forget bad luck " cut Tardozzi on Sky Sport. “ This morning he had an electronic adjustment problem, nothing special. Let's leave bad luck aside. There is work to be done, we probably need to do better for ourselves and for the driver. For now, we need to be self-critical, understand why we are in such bad shape and do better on Saturday ».
