But what is he going to do in this mess? This is the question that arises about Andrea Dovizioso the day after a motocross race contested with the authorization of Ducati which resulted in a broken collarbone. And operated. Dovizioso is the spearhead of the Borgo Panigaleen MotoGP manufacturer, a heavy responsibility, but the period is also in negotiations for a new lease. And it doesn't go perfectly well. The damage is done and manager Simone Battistella steps up to defend his driver.
Andrea Dovizioso did he really have to risk injury to indulge his passion for motocross? “ Looking back, you would say no », recognizes the manager Simone Battistella on “La Gazzetta dello Sport”. However, he defends the cause: “ the motivation was good. Andrea wanted to be ready to return to competitions. It was not a whim but something reasoned and, in this case, falling alone, it could also happen in training ».
“It wasn’t a whim”
Certainly, but he was in competition and wanted to move up the rankings. A motivation that pushes you to surpass yourself, which does not necessarily happen in training carried out alone or in a small committee… “ Andrea trains in motocross almost every day, it made no sense to stop her from racing. He did not fall after contact, but alone. This could have happened on other occasions as well ».
But it still happened during an open competition, barely three weeks before the first Grand Prix of the season in Jerez. A campaign that will be short, intense and during which injuries will have to be avoided. Andrea Dovizioso has already damaged its physical capital even before the start of hostilities.
