- Between the Ducati war, the Italian suffers with his rhythm in Argentina
- The Spaniard does not put rain tires on time and will come sixth
The contract of his life and the World of his life: Can Andrea Dovizioso achieve both goals? An excellent 2017 multiplied his cache in MotoGP and the victory 15 days ago in Qatar confirmed his candidacy this 2018, but this week, in just two days, he has already discovered difficulties in those aspirations.
For your salary increase: your partner, Jorge Lorenzo. His brand, Ducati, wants to keep both until 2020, but before he needs to compensate salaries and Lorenzo does not seem willing. The current Spanish contract reflects in millions its status in 2016, current champion, and now must accept a reduction that favors Dovizioso. The adjustment seems logical, but Lorenzo will not give in. To begin with, on Thursday, upon his arrival in Argentina, he already took off with the tranquility of the team and the good image of the Italian. "Dovi is very intelligent, he knows everything, he has tried to undermine my morale throughout my career and continues to do so as my partner, his words in the press are always towards me, but everything is fine. not in the paddock, "Lorenzo commented on Movistar and although Dovizioso did not want to answer him at a press conference, his annoyance was evident.
Because in Argentina it has confirmed its obstacle to be a champion: the circuits twisted or slow. In fact, they already left you without a title last year. If in 2017 he celebrated seven victories, but only two podiums it was because he dominated in the fast lanes, of long straights, but in the rest he only suffered. And this year it seems that will not change. The training sessions of Termas de Río Hondo stripped down their options. After finishing last in one of the sessions, yesterday he crossed the Q1 by the hair and in the Q2 he could only be eighth. Unlike in Qatar, its pace seems up to one second per lap slower than the pace of Marc Márquezand, in addition, there are many rivals between them. In fact, in the classification of this Saturday, luck had the rain.
The sky opened and the team of Márquez did not know how to interpret it. Other pilots recorded their best times with rain tires and, while, the leader of the World was left behind with dry tires. Although he dominated all the workouts with a much higher pace, on Sunday he will start sixth in the race (20.00 hours). In the front row, there will be Jack Miller , Dani Pedrosa and Johann Zarco .
