“Things like this can happen, but there’s no point blaming someone. Zarco came and talked to me after the race, but we didn’t talk much about it. He made a mistake because he was scared and fell, but we didn’t argue,” said Dovizioso.

“The fact that anything can happen in the world championships this season makes me think positively, but the point is I have to perform fast, which I have rarely experienced so far,” said Dovizioso.
“The title race is getting tougher, because there are three riders above me who are faster and more consistent, but this is not an impossible mission. Quartararo and Yamaha are very strong, but I see Suzuki and Joan Mir as more competitive,” said Dovizioso.
