The Italian Andrea Dovizioso (Ducati Desmosedici GP20) is approaching its “sabbatical year” and in this regard acknowledges that it has not had “the opportunity to find a place to race next year.”
«As you know, almost all the factories had signed with their drivers before the start of the season, that was quite normal due to these conditions, I will consider 2022 if I have a real option to fight for the title, because that is my goal, if I can be in a top team and on a top bike, ”explains the Italian.
«I know it’s difficult if you don’t run for a year, but in the end this is the situation I’m living. Next year will be a different year, I’m going to enjoy racing like my friends in some motocross races. Some of my sponsors will follow me next year, and we are going to have a project for the future and together with that we will work for 2022 », says Dovizioso.
Among the options, Andrea Dovizioso says that «about Honda, we discussed, but not this week, a month ago, but Like other proposals, each one has had some reason not to bear fruit, but I’m very happy that they offered me to be with them and to feel their support, but in the end not having an open door to race in 2022 has been very important.
“This is why we have decided not to sign and go free. In motor sport everything is possible, as has been seen in the past, we will see in 2021, but above all we will work for 2022 ”, he insists.
“I have not prepared anything for my future, what can I do, or how can I help other drivers, because I still focus on my career. Next year I will not be in MotoGP, but we will continue training and doing everything to be in shape and enjoying sports and motorcycles ”, emphasizes Dovizioso.
Apparently, among the many rumors that have emerged lately is that Marc Márquez may require a third surgical intervention and that he -Dovizioso- could supply it, something to which he quickly replied that “everyone runs too much.”
“Nobody knows what will happen to Marc. And I don’t think they will make a decision now for next year. I’m free, and this is motor sport, but it doesn’t mean that I would go if they called me, I would think about it depending on what they proposed to me. And I would decide, “he said about it.
«Now I can think about other things, about racing motocross, I also do not know what will happen due to the Covid, because it is difficult to think about the future. The positive of our decision is that we will be free. But that Marc is not in 2021 I think it is almost impossible, “he says.
And with regard to the sanction imposed on his compatriot Andrea Iannone and the possibility of going to Aprilia, he explained that he was very happy “that Aprilia has tightened; We talked about this a long time ago, because they were waiting for Iannone, and it’s normal, but I don’t think it’s the situation I need for my career right now.
“They are doing a very good job, because their budget is not as big as Honda, Yamaha or Ducati’s, so they are doing a great job, but the MotoGP level is very high, and it is very difficult. I have already experienced this situation with Ducati and only when you are inside can you understand how hard it is. They have done a great job but it is not what I need now and that is why I have made this decision, “explains Andrea Dovizioso.
