Andrea Dovizioso arrives for the last MotoGP performance of the year in Valencia already with the certainty of being vice-world champion. As this is the third time in a row and, on each occasion, this performance has been acquired behind Marc Márquez, we could say that the years follow one another and are similar for the Ducati official. But this season, the gap with its Honda rival is more than significant. So, for this reason, DesmoDovi wants to deliver a performance that will convince him of having done his best despite failure. Question of good conscience...

A year ago, under torrents of water, Andrea Dovizioso had brought back to Ducati the victory of a track in Valencia which had consecrated before him Troy bayliss and in 2006 Casey Stoner in 2008. Suffice to say that this Ricardo Tormo circuit is not one of the favorites of the Desmosedici. But nothing is impossible with a red motorcycle from the Borgo Panigale workshops. It will therefore be a question of not giving up on the matter, and first of all because the team title will be played against Honda. But for Dovizioso, there will also be a personal issue…

On the eve of hostilities, he declared: “ this circuit has never been easy for us, even if it is true that last year we had a great victory in the rain. This shows that anything can happen. On a personal level, I really want to finish the season with a good result and knowing that I did my best until the end. The level of the championship is always higher, and we have especially seen it in the last three races outside Europe, but I am confident in the good work we are doing to finish the championship on a high note. »
