Superbike: Marco Melandri explains his "no" to Yamaha
The player from Ravenna had been called upon to replace the injured Sylvain Guintoli
Superbike 2016 Yamaha Melandri – Marco Melandri, through social networks, wanted to explain his "no" to Yamaha Superbike, which had called him to replace the injured Sylvain Guintoli for the eighth round of the season, scheduled for this weekend at the Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli .
The man from Ravenna wanted to point out that the "no" was dictated by the lack of possibility of carrying out tests on the YZF-R1, which will be taken to the track at Misano by Niccolò Canepa.
“I would like to point out that I did not accept Yamaha SBK's invitation not because I do not accept the definition of a stage of holes, but because after 8 months of inactivity it is unthinkable to show up at a race and think of doing well. If the conditions are right for Laguna Seca with at least 3/4 days of testing I will be available. I have an incredible desire to run, but I want to do it well otherwise I won't have fun."

The reason why he said no is difficult to understand, in doing so I think Melandri is only confirming how difficult a rider he is from a character point of view, perhaps he has even suffered some (difficult to judge from the outside), but if he doesn't take the opportunity to be seen again, and he acts "precious", who will think of him tomorrow for a serious program. He is risking too much of scorched earth around himself...
Melandri seems to have settled with BMW next year.
Perhaps this is the real reason for the no on his part...
I am sure that no one would have asked him to perform miracles and win the race. The justification makes no sense, if you really want to run, accept and go. I have no idea who could have advised him on such a choice, but, in my opinion, he is not afraid of making a bad impression in the race, but he is afraid of making a bad impression towards his teammate.
Melandri is pushing himself too hard and has been pissing off several people in the industry for a while now. She's been making really bad choices lately.
He can't expect to still have the best material available and he can't expect to get on the track to immediately stay ahead of everyone, he has to scale back his goals, start from the bottom again and work his way up if he still has the ability. She is living in the past.
