A pilot's career often doesn't depend on much, and usually the recipe for success is being in the right place at the right time. Otherwise, no matter how much we do everything we can, we will never really be recognized for our true value, with the results we could have hoped for. This lack of luck and alignment of the planets is a bit like the fate of Andrea Dovizioso. Second to Marc Márquez in the championship after the last three seasons, the Ducati official seems powerless to reverse the trend. The mechanic of Honda official Santi Hernandez gives his opinion on this subject…

Andrea Dovizioso doesn't have the easy part. In front of him stands a Marc Márquez which blocks his path to a career that would have been ideal without him. It's mathematical: without the Spaniard, the Italian would be a triple consecutive World Champion. And yet, his talent and his legitimacy are sometimes doubted, and even to the point of Ducati, whatever some executives say.

At Honda, we observe DesmoDovi all the more because he spent a time in the Repsol box, and that even recently, he was in negotiations with the HRC, as he admitted Alberto puig. How is it considered among the Japanese? “ His misfortune is to have found Márquez, like those who found Rossi in the past... He had exceptional championships, we learned a lot from him, as a driver and as a team leader. »

« Against Marc, he was never satisfied, he never spared himself. Great respect for him and his team. When he is second, Marc is always angry, whether he was beaten in the last corner or lost by 10 seconds... But the anger passes quickly, he has learned that the world championship cannot be won race ", ended Santi Hernández.
