Misano, Dovizioso: “I’m a leader, but I don’t have speed: we need more”

Andrea Dovizioso laughs in the middle after the San Marino GP on the Misano track: his 7th place and the fall of Fabio Quartararo give him the top of the world championship, but the Ducati de Forlì rider is not satisfied and has also reached Target with your forearm locked in pain. “The discomfort in the arm is linked to the fact that to drive I have to force a lot, I do not let go and that is why I get tough as a result”, words of the new leader of the premier class.

I wait in the tests

The analysis of his leadership is clear: “We are in the lead and it is fine, but I hope that in Tuesday’s test here we will work on certain things that are still inexplicable to me, otherwise we have no cards to play in the world championship – says Dovi -. The fact is that I don’t drive as I should, but Bagnaia has had an incredible race and I congratulate him: he needs more, I should drive differently, but I’m not instinctive and what I do is not enough ”.

the tire rule

The knot remains the same, the tires: “The tires control and you have to adapt to them, there is nothing else to do. I will continue to work on myself, I am humble but if you are strong at one point and you start to have to face it. On the contrary, everything becomes more complicated also because each session of the weekend is a struggle and changing these things in the season is very difficult – Dovizioso closes -. Leadership? We are ahead, yes, but if you don’t have speed you can’t live it in peace “.
