MotoGP, Valencia J2, Franco Morbidelli (Ducati Q7/S6) loses his temper: “Jack Miller doesn’t care! »

Franco Morbidelli is in pretty good form in Valencia. For the final Grand Prix of the season, the Italian rider is doing well, but still not quite at the level of his teammate Fabio Di Giannantonio, who finished third in the Sprint. While one might have expected some fairly conventional comments after his race – which was relatively uneventful, by the way – Morbidelli launched into a bizarre explanation, once again referring to his behavior on the track! See for yourself.

“Morbido” reminded everyone that he was not a dirty driver, and that others were without being singled out. « There were some Morbidelli-style overtaking maneuvers (referring to Jack Miller's aggressive maneuver on Fermin Aldeguer), but Miller couldn't care less! If you're faster than the driver in front of you and you attempt a perfect overtake, it will take much longer. You might even fail. There are places where you can overtake cleanly, but a perfect overtake is more than just clean. Because I don't want to call my overtaking maneuvers dirtyThat's not true, absolutely not true. That's what some people are trying to make you believe. but they are not dirty at all » he told the press.

 

 

He even stated that he would only listen to Simon Crafar on this subject from now on. « Everyone is free to have their opinion on my overtaking maneuvers, everyone is free to have their opinion on my driving style.I remain true to my style, because it is mine. Only Simon Crafar can influence my philosophy. If he tells me that certain maneuvers are too dangerous and too ambitious for his liking, and that certain things shouldn't be done, I won't do them, because his opinion is what counts. After that, others can comment as much as they like; We live in a free world, and everyone has the right to express themselves. » he continued.

 

 

Moreover, he rather likes the new director of the panel of commissioners. « In my opinion, Simon Crafar is doing an excellent job; he is trying to limit the maneuvers he considers excessive.What's great about Simon is the consistency of his judgments; he's consistent. When he talks to me, I understand the type of riding he expects from MotoGP riders. Sometimes I agree, sometimes less so" he concluded.
