Andrea Dovizioso has finished with a European Grand Prix which seems to be truly considered one less meeting to experience at Ducati. The factory driver, who will leave his red suit at the end of this year for a future that he will reveal shortly, finished eighth in a performance whose highlight was a duel with Alex Marquez. Otherwise, health is average, but this would not be related to COVID-19…
Andrea Dovizioso after starting from the fourth row of European Grand Prix, twelfth round of MotoGP 2020, managed to recover some positions, closing the race in eighth place, more than 10 seconds behind the winner Joan mir.
The title is further and further away, the speed is lacking to oppose not only the winners of the day Suzuki but also Honda, Yamaha and KTM. The gap in the standings is now 45 points and Dovi's position in the general standings is sixth, tied on points with Morbidely.
“We are not competitive”
« As I said before this weekend, it doesn't change much, today wasn't too bad, but we can't be satisfied with these positions. We arrived here with little feeling and even here we are not competitive »Comments Andrea Dovizioso. “ Even if the championship is mathematically still open, this changes little. I certainly wouldn't mind finishing second or third this season. It's difficult and complicated, but we will try » adds the teammate Danilo Petrucci, tenth.
Then Dovi ends on a personal note which could well have an influence on next weekend, where a new Grand Prix will be organized in Valencia: “ since yesterday I haven't been feeling very well, but the symptoms are not those of Covid. The normal flu still exists. To be safe tomorrow, I will have a sample ". To be continued…
