MotoGp, Dovizioso: "Martin has everything in his hands. Marquez? He can win titles"

Bologna, November 11, 2024 – The 2024 Moto GP world championship is over for many commentators and former riders. Pecco needs a miracle bagnaia to recover 24 points of delay in the last weekend of the season with 37 points available between sprint race and race. Pecco must win both and hope for a misstep by the Spaniard Jorge Martin, who needs just 14 total points to triumph and win his first Moto GP world title. Little to do for the Italian, also according to Andrea Dovizioso which sees a Martin in full control of the situation compared to a year ago, when he was defeated in the sprint. And then from 2025 Marc Marquez he will ride an official Ducati, one more problem for Pecco.  

Dovizioso: “Never say never, but Martin can control”

There seems to be little chance for the Turin rider to close the gap in Barcelona and the number one is about to leave his fairing, but also that of Ducati since Martin will go into Aprilia next year. The thought of Dovizioso, to his colleagues at Gpone, is clear and precise: “It seems to me that the standings are clear, it is true that in motorbikes you never say never and anything can happen, but I see it as difficult for Bagnaia – his words – Surely we will have to understand the weather conditions and the tyres, but Martin he has the situation in hand and can manage. Until Malaysia it wasn't like that." bagnaia, if on the one hand he is still thinking about the 2024 title, on the other he will have to start thinking about 2025, from Tuesday's tests, when Marc will be at his side Marquez. One more and perhaps more complex problem for Martin, who will have to understand how competitive Aprilia will be to still fight for the title. Dovizioso He has had some uncomfortable companions, one in particular in Ducati who seemed to be able to overshadow him: Jorge Lorenzo. “Pecco must continue to think about himself and his characteristics – Dovi's advice – The important thing is to make the most of his potential and not look too much at what's around or outside. For me, the presence of Lorenzo gave me the opportunity to evolve, it was a useful reference to improve”. But can Marc win titles? Absolutely yes for Dovizioso: “He managed it well and created the situation he wanted – the thought of the Forlì native – Now he can go back to winning world championships and bagnaia will be put to the test, but if Pecco were to win, it would dispel all doubts even though he is already a top rider today”. And then the track will speak, both in Barcelona and next year, when the championship promises even more spectacle. In the meantime, it closes at Montmelo with the Gran Premio della Solidarietà, the proceeds will be donated to charity in flooded Valencia, with a sprint race on Saturday at 15 pm and a long race on Sunday at 14 pm.
