MotoGP | Gp Le Mans Race: Andrea Dovizioso, “If I had made Zarco's tire choices I would have won” [VIDEO]

MotoGP GP France Ducati Race – Andrea Dovizioso crossed the finish line of the French Grand Prix, ninth stage of the 2020 MotoGP, in fourth position.

“Dovi” after a good battle with his team-mate Danilo Petrucci (winner of the race), had a drop in tires (rain, the race took place in rain, ed.) and was unable to counter the attacks of Alex Marquez and Pol Espargarò.

The Ducati rider still sees the glass half full, he has in fact gained a few points in the standings over Fabio Quartararo, ninth today. There are five races left and the gap to the leader is 18 points.

“In a season like this, leaving points isn't exactly the best, especially considering the ones we lost in Barcelona, ​​it's a bit of a pain, but this is sport. From the outside you can't perceive the difficulties, one mistake can ruin everything, but from the outside it's not easy to understand it, everything seems much easier, but instead you take a lot of risks. In the end we have to be more happy than 'pissed off'. We know that we have to do more, but in the end, all in all, we closed the gap first; we are not euphoric, but satisfied.”

“With this new tire you can't know how it will go until you get on the track. Le Mans was good for us, but on paper it should have been good for the others. There was only one Yamaha in front and it was surrounded by the Ducatis and we also had a good pace. I want to see it as more optimistic than I think it is at the moment. Making predictions is impossible, we can no longer see the excessive power that existed at the beginning of the year, there are ups and downs. The Suzukis struggled a lot and I didn't expect it.”

“With Danilo we hooked up and went a little wide, but perhaps this is precisely the reason why we saved ourselves, otherwise Rins could have hit me. I found myself fourth and with Miller smoking in front of me. At first I found myself behind because I was in bad shape with the tyres. So I decided to pass Danilo because from the big screens I saw that they were coming strong. Unfortunately that's how it went at the S and I lost even more. In the end maybe it even went well, they could still throw me down (In Barcelona he was hit by Johann Zarco, ed.).”

“I had the soft front and rear and finishing fourth and gaining points is positive. It's logical that it's annoying, because if I had made Zarco's choices I would have won, while if I had chosen Danilo's tires I would have played with him."
