MotoGP | Austrian GP: Dovizioso on divorce with Ducati, "Mix of sensations" [VIDEO]

MotoGP GP Austrian GP Red Bull Ring Ducati – Andrea Dovizioso and Ducati have decided not to continue their relationship, which will end at the end of the season.

It was the Forlì native who communicated this to Ducati through his manager Simone Battistella. A story that ends in the eighth year and that many hoped would have a different epilogue.

“Dovi” will try to be a protagonist in this 2020, the Championship is still open, but obviously the atmosphere inside the garage cannot be the same, not so much with the team, but with the Ducati top management, above all Eng . Gigi Dall'Igna. Here's what Dovizioso had to say about it.

“Certainly being at home for many months makes you see life in a different way. However, the lockdown (due to Covid-19) did not influence my choices, it was not a 'gut' choice in any case, but a considered one. I have a mix of feelings, regardless of what happened we were lucky enough to experience memorable, fantastic moments, you have to look at everything that was done. Lots of arguments but also lots of joy. I have found many wonderful people with whom I have a beautiful relationship, so there are many positive sides to this story, which is not over yet."

“At the moment I don't have any proposals and this makes it clear that the decision was not linked to my future. It was right to take it, but at the moment I have no alternative, but in Motorsport things can change quickly. I have the same desire to race as in recent years, we'll see if there are any interesting proposals. I'm lucky enough not to necessarily have to find a motorbike for next year. I am relaxed, otherwise I could have also accepted a different proposal, but this was not the case."
