The second handlebar at Ducati alongsideAndrea Dovizioso gives rise to fierce competition between three drivers who can be identified as Jorge Lorenzo, Danilo Petrucci and Jack Miller. For the moment, it is the Italian from Pramac who holds the lead given his results. Those with the most credentials, on the other hand, are the least encouraging. But you don't treat a five-time World Champion without the consideration due to his rank. At Ducati, we're giving him until the Catalan Grand Prix to reverse the trend...
It is still assumed that Ducati will cut the Gordian knot of the second official Ducati during the Italian Grand Prix in early June. But the one in charge of the file, the sports director Paolo ciabatti, seems to indicate a possible extension before the outcome: “ we will wait until Barcelona. We will not be able to go any further, out of respect for the other drivers who perhaps have the opportunity to go to another team, but who need to be freed from their current situation to do so. ". And we will recall that both Petrux and Miller have an option that ends on June 30.
« This is part of the bad part of my job. I have to decide the fate of pilots who are also people. Things must be done with honesty and mutual respect for each person's situation. ". On the ongoing negotiations with Por Fuera, the manager enlightens us: “ it's not just about money. You also need to know if it is possible to have good results. We cannot resolve this situation. We saw the Le Mans race and this is not the Lorenzo we want. And neither does he, by the way ».
He ends on Tutomotoriweb : " everyone knows that Jorge is the highest paid driver on the board. After making major progress, Andrea revealed himself and we can't pay two pilots at this salary levele ". The proposal made to the Majorcan would have been a fixed price largely revised downwards, but with substantial bonuses in the event of victory.
