Dovizioso with force in the microphones of Sky before Petrucci, after the classification of Aragón: “He disrespected me. I threw him three times and if you do it you have no rhythm, it means that you have stolen my time. I did not expect it. The pilots Ducati threw me and he did his thing, he disrespected me. We never talk about orders, it’s not a question of strategy. “

The qualifications
Aragon GP, Quartararo pole. 13th Dovizioso
“Petrucci He disrespected me, he made me turn my p … today – Dovizioso said to Sky Sport -. It did not go outside the rules, but I threw it three times and if you do it you don’t have the rhythm, it means that it has stolen my time. It is a matter of respect, for all the personal history that has existed between us. I was expecting a different behavior from him, given that I am playing the World Cup. I didn’t expect the Ducati riders to throw me down and he just did his disrespect me. We have never talked about orders and I repeat that it is not about strategy“.

Furious Dovizioso: strong outburst in the garage
Upon returning to the box, Dovizioso let one go outburst of anger, throwing off the gloves after cursing and walking away without speaking to anyone. Dovi will start 13– A negative result for those trying to win the title. Andrea is third in the World Championship standings, at -18 behind leader Fabio Quartararo. Instead, the Frenchman will start from pole in the first of the two GPs scheduled in Aragon.
Press conference
Dovizioso adds more statements at the press conference: “We were improving. He was doing well. He was finding speed. It was a weekend that he could straighten out. Then there was the problem of qualifying, with Petrucci. And beware that I never said I wanted his wake. It is true that we have spoken before or that we have decided something. We have not decided anything. I only notice that three out of three times he has become attached to me and has run out of time with my speed. And this is because of the type of relationship we have And because of the amount of things that I have done for him in recent years, he has not been elegant. That’s all. I have to think that I’m fighting for the World Cup.
Do you think it was appropriate to introduce team strategies? Since Miller was also involved?
“No, in this case I would say that Ducati has nothing to do with it. It was a matter of using your brain while driving.”
Will this ruin your relationship?
“I do not know. I am not a grudge, the kind who keep their face for life. And I want to reiterate that I did not ask for help. I am not in the position to do so. Danilo was not at all elegant with me. The one that is usually more elegant than the others “
But wouldn’t the strategy help? And you and Danilo have talked?
“We don’t have to strategize at Ducati. Everyone runs the best they can. In the past it happened that they would have needed them, with the Spanish Ducati rider you know (Lorenzo, ed). And that’s okay … Now we need speed, no strategy. No. Danilo and I talked again “
But for the race?
“For tomorrow, we have an excellent pace and we can have a good race, but we are not quick to recover many positions. I can win some, but not many.”
We are a bit surprised when he says he needs speed and not strategy. That is, it is strange that first you do not do strategy and then you have to complain that there is a lack of intelligence and respect between you.
“You may be right. I am not saying it is completely wrong. It may be correct to think strategically, but in MotoGP it is normal that there is no reasoning in the absence of five races. In the World Championship I face at least three riders, and me The problem is speed, not strategy. What happened today is not Ducati’s fault. “
Don’t you think, however, that what works in Formula 1 would also work in MotoGP? There they give orders to the team and determine results and balance
“These situations are always complicated. I don’t like what you see in F1. Racing like that there, everything related to strategy is not part of the motorcycle world. It might be useful to make certain arguments. From an intelligent person like Danilo not I imagined it, it was necessary for Ducati to say something! “
Do you think that with Danilo you will resolve the relationship, that you will return to the previous relationship?
“He didn’t get in the way, that’s clear. If you use your head you can reason. I expected a different reaction from him. I’m calm and not spiteful, on the contrary. What bothers me is that when you behave well in general and you do it well because you It matters that we need something in return. Not that you have to take me to the front, but it was not a good attitude and it is not the first time. I did not like it. “
Are you waiting for Iannone’s sentence or is it too late?
“I do not answer so as not to create difficulties for those who work there. But that is not the issue. The issue is not even that I get mad at a person, but that tomorrow I’m going thirteenth, shit …”
Is it a human or sports disappointment?
“It’s mostly a human disappointment, obviously. Not sporting. He thought about taking home his best result. Don’t get me wrong, but in my opinion he didn’t think hard about the situation he’s in with me.”
When you threw down the gauntlet, what did that mean?
“You can imagine it for yourself”
Petrucci: “No orders from Ducati”
The other pilot
This is the version of Petrucci: “Before qualifying, I did not speak with Dovizioso and Ducati has not given me any indication Petrucci explained to Sky Sport. I did what I could, there are races where I suffer from top speed and needed a trace in qualifying. I run on my own, I have to try to get the most out of what I have, I regret that in this case it was Dovizioso who paid the price and that he is angry. If Ducati had given me an order I would have respected it, but nobody asked me for anything. “
Tardozzi: “It was a coincidence”
the team manager
Tardozzi: “It was a coincidence”
So Davide Tardozzi, Ducati team principal, at Sky Sport: “Andrea started a lap earlier, if I could talk to the drivers like in F1, maybe I would have said ‘ok, shoot’, but I repeat: it was a randomness, nobody said ‘Get out, Andrea throws and Danilo stays behind. We can’t put all the Ducatis in front to pull Dovi“.
Ciabatti: “There are no team orders”
Ducati
Ciabatti: “There are no team orders”
Paolo Ciabatti, Ducati sporting director, also spoke at Sky Sport MotoGP: “There are no team orders, We couldn’t say anything to other riders like Miller, who was doing a lap alone.. Andrea was disappointed, she expressed it too. He didn’t expect Danilo to be late. Andrea didn’t want a strategyBut all the drivers are selfish and in this case Danilo was, with Miller in second place to Dovi. “It is not true that Dovi does not have support Ciabatti continued. He didn’t expect Danilo to be behind him on the second fastest lap. Andrea is not mad at Ducati, we also want to win the World Cup. It is our first goal and we can only win it with him. “
