Andrea Dovizioso hits out: “I have a bad relationship with people at Ducati”

The Italian rider, who retired after the San Marino MotoGP in 2022, enjoyed his best years riding the Desmosedici, finishing as runner-up behind 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez three seasons in a row between 2017-2019.
A breakdಌow🍒n in relationship with Ducati boss Gigi Dall’Igna resulted in his exit after eight years, and he rounded off his MotoGP career with Yamaha.
Had things have been🌞 slightly different, perhaps Dovizioso could h💧ave been in Francesco Bagnaia’s shoes as Ducati’s first premier class champion in many years, and the first Italian champion since Valentino Rossi in 2009.
"When a story like 𝕴mine and Ducati's ends like this it's always a shame,” he said to Germany’s Motorsport Magazin.
“Because I am a person ꦅwho tries to꧟ have a good relationship with everyone.
“But in this case, unfortꦺunately, it ended badly🦩.
“But I want to clarify that I do not have a bad relatio൲nship with Ducati as a company, I have a bad relationship with some peo✤ple at Ducati. It's different."

Dovizioso reflected: "I definitely have regrets in my career - those who claim 𒀰the opposit💜e, that is, to have no regrets, are liars.
“There are always things that could have been done better. But🧔 I'm overall satisfied with my career and my life."
There are rumours he 🔯might switch to World Superbike but he said: “I'm used to prototypes, my whole career 🐈has been with prototypes.
“I don't think I can do well with production bikes, however elaborate and developed because I would have to review my ridin🌳g style and start everything again as if I were at the beginning of my career. It's something I don't care about."
The 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:2023 MotoGP calendar features a sprint race at every round.
"It ❀wil꧋l create more dynamics to manage, but I'm afraid it won't change much the show,” said Dovizioso.
“Physically it will be more difficult to face two races. It will be more difficult especially when racing on tracks that rꦯequire a more committed driving style. I'm thinking of Austin, Sepang, Assen and Mugello.
“In my opinion it will put a strain on all the riders. This n♏ew regulation, however, could also be an advantage for fast drivers in qualifying because, being able to start from the top positions, they will be able to take advantage of easier conditions that could benefit them in the race, leading them to gain more points than more methodical drivers".
