This is how you thought Jorge Lorenzo de Dovizioso

 

Andrea Dovizioso has made some interesting reflections in an interview with DAZN. The Forlí rider, who describes himself as 'Unemployed' ('Unemployed') has spoken of the situation of him without his team after not reaching an agreement with Ducati. And he has also commented that a definitive generational change has come. Since he started back in 2002 he watched Casey Stoner leave him. Recently, Dani Pedrosa and Jorge Lorenzo have retired. And others like Valentino Rossi (in 2021 he will race in the Petronas Yamaha) hold out, but they no longer dominate as they did in the past, the juiciest thing has undoubtedly been what he says about '99'. Dovi had Lorenzo as a partner at Ducati during the 2017 and 2018 campaigns and that relationship went through moments of great tension. And the truth is that there is still resentment. At least that's how the Italian lets it down. "He still likes me, sure. Especially because, as far as he can, he attacks me in interviews, and I have not been able to understand if it is because he has not been able to assimilate that for two years he has always been behind with the same motorcycle or what. Having won so many championships he should be above these things, but I notice that there is something that bothers him and I cannot understand his mind, a bit peculiar, "adds the 34-year-old rider, who admits that competing with Jorge it made him improve as a pilot.

Lorenzo, whenever he can, attacks me in interviews, and I have not been able to understand if it is because he has not been able to assimilate that for two years he has always been behind with the same bike or what "

Stoner, the most talented On the other hand, who he has very good memories of is Casey Stoner, whom he values very much. The Australian was his partner in the Repsol Honda in 2011. "He was the most talented by far. But beyond the talent, it was how he managed to squeeze it out. You cannot say that Valentino is not talented, but he has a method and he is achieving results. . On the other hand, Casey in the first lap bam! And that was the worst for his rivals. It beat them. His whole career he did it like that, he was very good at it. So besides that talent, it was how he took advantage of it. " , he reasons.

This is how he sees Marc Márquez When he says this, you inevitably think about where he places Marc Márquez. The one from Cervera has prevented Dovi from becoming MotoGP champion. In fact, the Forlí has ​​had to settle for three runners-up (2017, 2018 and 2019). "It is difficult to say that there is a pilot with more talent than Marc. Everything that he has achieved has been done in a way that on the basis, it would lead to say that Casey had a little more talent, but it is difficult for me to say it like that, honestly. Marc, for For different reasons, he lives life differently from Casey. He has not had those misunderstandings or situations in which Casey was not comfortable and said enough. At the environmental level, everything has been much easier, relaxed, calm. And it is the reason why he has won so many championships and will have a very long career, "he explains. Pedrosa deserved to be MotoGP champion. He also had time to analyze Dani Pedrosa, of whom he has fond memories. "He is a good person from what I know him, with plenty of talent, who has contributed a riding style with a way of trying to lift the bike that everyone has emulated. With certain physical limitations, because he has been conditioned by his height, in Sometimes for the better, but maybe in general more for the worse. But when he was convinced and determined he was unbeatable. He has always been a leading rider, fighting for important positions, but he has always had small ups and downs or has had bad luck with fractures and has not managed to win the MotoGP World Championship, something that he surely deserved, "he says.

I have not felt totally valued throughout my career; I was valued more in recent years at Ducati "

Assessment of his career Dovi has also made it clear that many have not valued him correctly as a pilot. "I did not feel valued until the good years of Ducati arrived. Due to the way I approach the championship I have always been scoring points in silence. And if you look at my career I have almost always finished in the Top 5. I have always been in front, but if you don't explode, most journalists don't see you and don't highlight it. At Ducati my work has been highlighted more. I have allowed myself to be seen more and even people who didn't see me at all have valued me. I have not felt totally valued. Much has been said about the motorcycle. And I do not understand certain reasoning. But in sum I do believe that the real Dovizioso has been seen in recent years. I do not think that I should feel frustrated, "he warns. The beneficial presence of Rossi And no he thinks Rossi has overshadowed him. "His presence has been beneficial for all. Italians, Spaniards ... For all. It has brought visibility and has managed to arouse much more interest from the fans and even from those who do not understand much about motorcycles. The disadvantage is that you never know perceives you as the protagonist. Less in recent years, Valentino has always been ahead and then the rest of the pilots went. Therefore, everything you do is not considered in the same way. If you did the same thing as Rossi, you were considered differently "concludes Dovi,
