On January 24 the team RNF WithU – born on the ashes of the Petronas team – will remove the veil from his 2022 bike in Verona, together with factory riders Andrea Dovizioso and Darryn Binder. In recent months the patron Razlan Razali he had told all his disappointment with the results obtained in his last year in MotoGP by Valentino Rossi – just 44 total points – so much so that, being able to go back in time, he would have chosen not to welcome the multiple champion from Tavullia to the team. Statements then blunted in the following weeks, as reiterated also to the notebooks of crash.net: “What happened last year is now a thing of the past, it was great for us to be his last team and we learned a lot from him. First of all how to manage a person like him, and then he gave us the mentality of focusing on the things that matter. From the side of the results, we never thought they were like this, I guess he himself would never have believed in such a performance. But it happens, we need to remember how much fun it was to work with him. But now let’s start over ”.
And the focal point of the new project between the Malaysian team and the Italian WithU is Andrea Dovizioso, so Razali has no fear of disappointing results: “He could also fight for the championship, having a factory M1. Certainly some skeptics will say that Dovi could run into another season like Rossi’s. But people forget that when we had Valentino was 42 with us, while Andrea is 35. When Valentino was 35 he was still at the top. So let’s talk about a completely different comparison “. Razali has great faith in Dovizioso: “Now he is the oldest on the grid, Aleix Espargarò is 32 after him. But in Ducati he did a lot, he was runner-up three times. Last year’s races with us gave him the feeling that competitiveness is back and I think he may be among the riders capable of fighting for the title ”.
