Andrea Dovizioso was discreet in this San Marino Grand Prix during which he was never on the pace. And yet, this evening, it is he who is installed at the head of the championship. What to make him smile? It's bad to know him...
Andrea Dovizioso finished seventh in this sixth round of the MotoGP championship which saw a fifth different winner. A crazy season, so much so that, despite this result which gives him the lead in the general classification due to the misfortunes of fabio quartararo, the Italian remains grumpy. It must be said that he saw the performances of the Pramac drivers Miller et bagnaia quite far away...
« I had a lot of difficulties during the race, I didn't expect to be at the top of the championship. It's a strange season » recognizes the one who will leave the factory Ducati at the end of this year. “ Congratulations to Bagnaia for the result. He manages to use the tires very well, I have to change the way I drive because they require a different approach. I have to be able to change on the brake, and Pecco helps us understand where to improve ».
« Driving like last year didn't work. I pushed a lot and the tires suffered. We have to try to do our best in next week's tests. I don't know exactly what Pecco did. My opinion is that he had some good races last year, but he wasn't very fast. His braking approach wasn't great for the tires, but this year it is. He found a tire that fits better, but that doesn't justify my results. ».
“What I’m doing is not good”
« The only thing I'm saying is that what I'm doing is not good, it's not working. We have to take advantage of this good position in the championship and we have to use Tuesday to do as many tests as possible. Seeing Pecco's data you can see some things, but you can't copy a driver. Changing your approach to driving is difficult, I've always tried, but you make a difference when you can express your characteristics. The way to enjoy these tires is not the way I ride and changing style is not easy even after seeing the data ».
A long plea which still bodes poorly for the future of events for Dovizioso. See you next weekend to see if with the experience of this meeting and the results of the week's test, he will be able to find the formula to truly hold the rank of a candidate for the world title...
