Andrea Dovizioso, future at Valentino Rossi
Andrea Dovizioso plans a future at Valentino Rossi. At Motosprint the rider from Forlì explained why he tested a BMW M4 on the Hockenheim circuit in recent days: the goal is to participate in the DTM, the German championship of grand touring cars. “But two tests aren’t enough to stay in the group, the level is high, and as I’ve always said, I like to do things right. It makes me proud to see how much the Project 1 team cares about having me, but for now we’re talking “.
Dovizioso also spoke about the current moment in MotoGP: “Today’s MotoGP is really demanding: if you’re 100% it makes sense to show up, but it’s not certain that you’ll get results. This too is a change compared to the past: diving into the championship when you don’t have everything under control, it doesn’t allow you to have the right performance. Now to go directly to Q2 you don’t have to collect more than 4 tenths from the lead, so you essentially need perfection.”
