Sometimes a look is really worth more than 1000 words and Andrea Dovizioso has never been too good at masking his emotions. That the adaptation to Yamaha would have been complicated, the Forlì expected it, given that he does not even have the most advanced M1, but the process is proving to be more difficult than expected.
The three-time vice-world champion found himself next to last at the end of qualifying for the Algarve Grand Prix. A truly disappointing result, which did not allow him to hide a rather obvious pout.
“We were able to improve the braking and overall the lap time is pretty good, also because we know the limits of our package. In today’s MotoGP it is normal to be in the back if you take a second from pole,” said Dovizioso.
“I think it is useless to talk about the current results. Next year’s will be important, but in the meantime we must take advantage of these opportunities, waiting for the Jerez tests, when I will finally try the new M1”, he added.
When his sulking was pointed out to him, Andrea admitted that it is not easy to digest these kinds of results, even if the reason why he decided to return for these last races was clear right away.
“I didn’t go back to MotoGP to make up the numbers, but at the moment this is the reality. I decided to do these five races to be as prepared as possible in 2022, so performance today doesn’t count too much. Every rider would like to stay in the positions that matter. , but there will be a reason why Morbidelli didn’t want to race with this much, despite the second place in the championship last season “.
“Adapting to a new bike takes time and I hope to have it. Everything is completely different from what I was used to, then there are some points where we lose a tenth of a free due to the package. Given the current feeling, it surprises me. take just a second (smiles) “.
Finally, the Forlì also paid tribute to the great work his former team is doing, which with Pecco Bagnaia achieved its fifth consecutive pole, the tenth of the season.
“Pecco is doing an excellent job, because he is fast and is also very consistent, both in qualifying and in the race. I can only congratulate him and the Ducati, because four bikes are not placed in the top five by chance.” .
