Andrea Dovizioso (violent fall): "Ma que, did I fall? On my head?"

After qualifying, Andrea Dovizioso predicted a long and difficult 2019 British Grand Prix. It was unfortunately very short and difficult to swallow for the Ducati rider n ° 4, because his unfortunate fall earned him to start again from Silverstone 78 points behind Marquez… Statements.

Andrea Dovizioso’s team, Ducati n ° 4 (7th in qualifying and crash during the race): "A nasty crash brought Andrea Dovizioso to a halt early in the race. The Romagna rider, who had made a good start from the third row, could not avoid in the first corner Quartararo’s motorbike which took off in front of him in the highside: he was violently catapulted onto the asphalt. Medical assistance immediately intervened and Dovizioso was taken to the circuit medical center for check-up. The doctors found that ‘he had a concussion and a number of bruises, so they decided to take him by helicopter to Coventry hospital for further examinations. These have fortunately ruled out any complications. Dovizioso will return to Italy this (Sunday ) evening ".

MNC Analysis : Second behind Marquez at the Czech Republic GP, first ahead of the same Spaniard at the Austrian GP … The resumption of the championship after the summer break went very well for Dovizioso, second in the world championship and the only driver to be able to deprive Marc of a new coronation.

Qualified to a disappointing seventh place on the British starting grid, Andrea had no choice but to put gas in – very – big from the first lap of the race in order to overtake the maximum number of opponents and hope to hang on to the Honda n ° 93, given yet another favorite…

"Marquez seems to be the fastest," noted the vice-world champion on Saturday night, "but there is also a group of five drivers, myself included, who all have a similar pace. It’s hard to predict the course of the race: Rins’ Yamaha and Suzuki, as well as Marquez, will certainly be very strong, especially in the first few laps, but this track is very difficult, both for the tires and for the rider. We will see….

Alas, the Italian saw nothing coming. Especially not the Yamaha n ° 20 fallen under its wheels in the very first corner of the layout, because scared by a kick of the Suzuki n ° 42. Launched like a rocket when the red lights went out, Desmosedici n ° 4 quickly took off from the ground and ejected its pilot.

After a short glide, "DesmoDovi" fell violently on our good old land. Miraculously, the endless series of roll and roll caused no serious injury to the small but very strong Andrea. The only inconvenience: a momentary loss of memory. Will he forget his mishap all the more easily ?!

The fact remains that with this bubble at Silverstone, Dovizioso is now 78 points behind the leader … Rins’ stroke of genius at the very end of the English race (or even that of Dovi in ​​Austria) is not enough to restore question the domination of Marquez on the MotoGP championship.

Only a – dirty – twist of fate could now deprive the No.93 of a sixth MotoGP title, and Site clearly does not want that. On the other hand, we sincerely hope that Dovizioso will indeed be back in good shape in two weeks for "his" Grand Prix in Misano. Forza Andrea !
