The rider market is still not closed in MotoGP, and if it still has interest, it is because at Ducati, nothing is set in stone. Andrea Dovizioso is the key element of the organization chart to be put in place in the boxes containing Desmosedici. However, his signature on a lease started in 2013 is far from certain. Meanwhile, the talent hunters of Borgo Panigale had brought down Jorge Martin who was predicted, during confinement, to have a assured future at Pramac. But since then, the season has resumed, and the intention has weakened as its results have been mixed... At the same time, the Italian drivers showed themselves in their best light.
It is a noted fact: we no longer talk too much about George Martin and his future within the team Bow Ducati. The one who thought out loud that this year he would be the only Moto2 rider who could move up to MotoGP has other concerns. The kind to really launch your Moto2 season. Because after three Grands Prix, he is not the one we would think of for promotion to the premier category, when reading the rankings. At Qatar, he came up short, and his two appearances at Jerez were rewarded with only one podium.
Young Italians are also asserting themselves
Meanwhile, Luca marini won the Spanish Grand Prix and Enea Bastianini the Andalusian Grand Prix, in front of the same Marini et Bezzecchi. A trio of young Italians who could only stir up the patriotic fiber in Borgo Panigale.
Jorge Martin is sixth in the general classification with 26 points. And we will remember that it is his teammate Nagashima who leads the dance, with 50 units. The one who is still a protégé of KTM is therefore not in as favorable a position as during confinement. The competition has resumed, and it reminds decision-makers of the fundamentals for choices. It is true that they were until then blind due to the health crisis… Next meeting in Brno from August 7nd. The Spaniard, former Moto3 World Champion, will have to break the spell of the Italian colony which could see itself dominating Moto2 this year.
