Still 9 Grands Prix and then Andrea Dovizioso will no longer be a MotoGP rider. Combining all the pieces of the drivers market it was already quite evident that for the Forlì there would be no place on the grid for the 2023 season, but now the confirmation came from the person concerned in an interview granted to the official website of the championship.
“I’m definitely not going to race in MotoGP next year, there’s no reason to do it. I’ve always said I wouldn’t stay if I wasn’t competitive. I’ve never looked for a saddle for next year, because you don’t have fun when you struggle.” Dovizioso told motogp.com, but he seems calm and aware of this decision.
“I’m calm, I’ve already tasted what it means to stay still”, he added in reference to 2021, when he had only played five races. “I just hope to finish the season in a crescendo”.
The problem is precisely this, that up to now the results have been lacking, but also the fun. After the long parenthesis in Ducati, in which he was vice-champion three times, Dovizioso strongly wanted Yamaha, but then found himself having to deal with an M1 very different from the one he would have expected, with which he is not never managed to tie.

“Every race is very difficult, because I start backwards, which complicates things further. It had never happened to me not to be competitive in the course of my career. It is something new and different for me, which becomes reality race afterwards. race “, explained Andrea.
Then he continued with the analysis of this new situation he is experiencing: “MotoGP has changed, the rivals have changed, the way of riding is different. There are many small reasons and if you put all these things together, what is happening happens. happening to me right now. “
Unfortunately, the M1 is a very different bike from the Ducati with which he was able to do great things, especially between 2017 and 2019. At the moment, Yamaha allows only one riding style, thanks to which Fabio Quartararo is managing to make sparks. , but it is not easy for everyone else to adapt.
“The Yamaha is very good in braking and in mileage, but struggles in other aspects. If you don’t ride like Quartararo it’s difficult to be competitive. If he wins, it means you can be fast, but if the other riders complain, it means that you don’t. There are many ways to be competitive. Morbidelli and I, for example, drive very differently, but our results are similar. “
