This Friday in Valencia, the Ducatis showed a certain revival of form, but when the official of the brand Andrea Dovizioso came to take stock of his day, it was first of all this rumor of a possible trial against his employer which was the subject. A noise which is not a noise, because Dovi confirms a schism, a situation which he does not accept, even if, before any recourse, he wants to better understand its ins and outs. Still, this news places the end of his lease at Borgo Panigale in a very strange light…
What common memory will we have? Andrea Dovizioso et Ducati when they separate by the end of this November? Epic battles against Marc Marquez and the three consecutive vice-world champion statuses? Or a resounding trial? We don't know, but it seems certain that the incredible second possibility is not a fantasy...
A serious matter, even as it stands, Dovizioso thus takes the full measure: “ I honestly want to understand more. This is a situation that I will not comment on until we have more specific information. This seems to me a difficult situation to comment on. You don't know the whole story, but honestly it bothers me, it leaves a lot of bitterness ».
“If it just depended on me, it would happen differently”
He adds : " I didn't want to create tension, if it was just up to me it would happen differently, but that's not the case ". It will be recalled that the stumbling block is that Yamaha was only punished for its technical blunder on its engine by the loss of points in the manufacturer's championship. Its drivers have kept their points and their ranking, and they are fighting against Dovizioso for the final podium… An epilogue of which Ducati would not have been foreign, and even a source of inspiration, thus playing against its pilot.
That being said, Dovizioso also talks about his start to the meeting… “ Coming back to the races, pride is not enough to go fast. We will push hard to try to finish in the top three of the championship. It will be important to do well to start in front. All Ducatis went faster today and took a fundamental step forward since this morning ».
