Hi everyone! She remembered it Giulio Bernardelle in last Sunday’s live broadcast: our DopoGP it’s already reached the tenth year! It’s hard to believe but that’s exactly how it is, to be precise the first episode aired on February 11, 2014 to comment together… on the three days of testing at Sepang. We are already in the tenth season.
Nico Cereghini conducts with Giovanni Zamagni the new in-depth analysis on MotoGP. Marquez unbeatable, Vale setting a record and Ducati at work. A lot of technique with Eng Bernardelle in the studio”. The best time in the tests was set by reigning world champion Marc Marquez, then Valentino, Lorenzo, Aleix Espargaro, Bradl, Pedrosa; seventh Andrea Dovizioso with the best Ducati. The summary read verbatim: “
It was a very rich first episode: the Magneti Marelli single electronic control unit had been introduced and there were the open cars against the factory ones, with the freedom (for the first ones) to evolve the engines and load 24 liters on board against 20. Prehistory, in a way. Curious are the two surveys launched on the occasion. Will Valentino be able to fight for the podium in all the races? Yes, for 71.4 percent of readers. And will Ducati achieve important results this year or will we have to wait for 2015? We will have to wait for 80.7 percent.
E the readers took us in full. For the record Marquez would have won the first ten races (!), all in a row, and was still champion. But Rossi was the 2014 vice champion with two victories and a total of twelve podiums and Ducati, with Dovi, collected a second and a third place. Andrea was fifth in the general standings and for the successes of the reds we would have had to wait… 2016.
Our DopoGP was immediately liked. Looking at the video – which at the time was not live, but recorded and then edited – the distance of ten years is naturally a little visible. We were all three younger, Ing was plumper, Zam was combed. But right from the start we were able to deepen above all the technical discussions, it is the cut that characterizes us and that is still liked today.
Today we go live, ed it’s nicer because we arrive earlier and then the readers have the opportunity to dialogue with us and satisfy their curiosities. We already said it then: “ample space will be reserved for technique because we want to get seriouswe want to differentiate ourselves from the others and then we are sure that technology is a subject that is very dear to readers”.
We are already in the tenth year, in short, and we are pleased to verify that we have grown a lot without betraying the original spirit. I would add that readers’ comments are a real panacea, especially when they define us as prepared and capable of developing the themes without the need to make the program spectacular at all costs. We remain us.
