Andrea Dovizioso and Jorge Lorenzo are out of the MotoGP games. But the sparks continue to come out even off the track.
Between Andrea Dovizioso and Jorge Lorenzo we are the same as always. The two former MotoGP riders, both without a contract for 2021, continue the fight at a distance. Just a few days ago, the ex-teammates were not sparing a question and answer. With the Forlì rider who declared that he did not understand Jorge’s antipathy towards him, assuming the double defeat in the two Ducati years they shared. The response of the pentacampione did not wait, recalling his many victories and how he has defeated his opponent since the days of Dovi’s 125.
In the last hours the dispute has come to life again. Andrea, in a recent interview, spoke about her former teammates-rivals. Without going into too much detail, he stressed that Stoner, Lorenzo and Pedrosa had “great limits”. Enough to draw the attention of the Mallorcan who responded on his Instagram channel: “Well, imagine the limits of those who have earned much less. How would Rajoy say ‘if I’m bad, what are you, bad?“.
A little bit of sparks from the past
The dispute between driver and champion continues. Last November Jorge, in an Instagram story, had launched another volley: “Andrea Dovizioso? He is a great driver, but he is not a champion ”. The Italian had already spoken on the subject after his victory in Austria in 2019: “Am I a champion or a great driver? I don’t get attached to these things, like a pilot we know who also writes it on his helmet …“. The reference to Jorge Lorenzo and his helmet was too clear, after having written on the helmet”I’m not a great driver, I’m a champion“In controversy with Ducati senior management.
The first public symptoms of this conflict, which has been shaking the MotoGP world for years, appeared at the 2017 Catalunya GP. It was the first season as a boxing partner. “Compared to last year, it is now better between me and my partner in the garage. Jorge thinks a lot about himself, only himself, he’s selfish, but that’s the way he is. Because thinking about yourself doesn’t interfere with my work. He is also perfect because he is a very respectful person, as he showed when he stood on the podium to celebrate my victory.But soon a cold war would begin, the consequences of which are still being felt.
