Andrea Dovizioso: “Luca Marini went to Honda to become a leader”
Ex-Honda rider Andrea Dovizioso commeꦰnts on why Luca Marini opted to leave VR46 Ducati

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Luca Marini’s decision to join Honda was to become “a leader”, acco🐭rdin💯g to Andrea Dovizoso.
Marini follows in the footsteps of his brother Valentino Rossi, Max Biaggi and Dovizioso as an Italian ri💛🎶ding for Honda.
He replaces Marc Marquez at Repsol Honda, after exiting VR46 Ducati to become a factory MotoGP rider for the first time.
Dovizioso told&nbs꧙p;: "I haven't been able to speak to Luca, at least no🐬t since he became an HRC rider, so I don't have any personal feedback from him.
“MotoGP has changed a lot since 2009.
“Fro♋🍸m how I know him, he seems to me to be very methodical, precise.
“And these are certainly characteris𒐪tics that can help in the gre𒆙at work that will be done in HRC. It will certainly take time.
"I believe thꦡat leaving the team he was racing with was a strong choice for Marini.
“He had a competitive bike and he knew he could achieve very good res𝄹ults.
“When you choose to go to a factory team it's because, in my opinion, you really want to try to take anꦬother path, as a leader.
“If you are an offic🅷ial rider, you are one of the leaders, you can create your own space and a path can be opened up for you which, if everything goes well, will be even better for the future.
“It is an important gamble, but it can happen."

But Ducati, which Marini leaves behind anಌd was the team o༺f Dovizioso’s best days, is still MotoGP’s top team.
Dovizioso was a runner-up in the MotoGP standings ღthree years in a row from 2017-19, with Honda’s Marc Marquez winning each season.
Now, Dovizioso see🍒s Ducati finally establishing themselves at the front.
The upcoming season c🌠ould be an all-Ducati battle which now includes Marquez.
"The season that is about꧒ to begin will certainly be a Ducati against Ducati figh𝓡t,” Dovizioso said.
“For many reasons: they have many very strong riders and all of 🎀them are expiring their contracts.
“This factor will have a big impact on the championship and wi🍸ll raise the b൩ar even further.
“The contracts they will close 🌼very soon, we know.
“�𒐪�This is why everyone will push and take more risks, especially at the beginning of the season.
“Let's hope that this increase in risks does not also lead to an increase in errors. “Furtherm꧟ore, almost all the drivers have the advantage to ride bikes that they already know and this will allow them to push even ha🐽rder.
“Marq𒅌uez will certainly be one of the pillars of the rider market, but we have to wait to see his opponents..."
Aprilia and KTM are chasing Du♛cati with their ♚own high hopes.
"Watching the races from the outside, it seems to me that both Aprilia and KTM have made steps forward,” Dovizioso p🃏redicted.
“It remains to be seen by how much, to see if it will be enough to be able🌞 to compete."
