Andrea Dovizioso is preparing for the racing season, but only one in motocross. After saying goodbye to Ducati, he found no other place in MotoGP and refused to accept Yamaha’s proposal to become a test rider. For the first time in many years, Dovi doesn’t know what he’s going to do in the next few months, except in off-road racing.
The Forlì rider spoke to Sky Sport about his gift, starting with saying no to Yamaha.
“To be honest, I didn’t feel ready to just be a tester just yet – he explained – I don’t mean to say that being a test driver is not an important job, but I still feel like a MotoGP rider in this moment of motocross. ” he was joking.
It has been talked about several times that Dovizioso may be at Honda to replace Marc Marquez, whose return date is still mysterious. However, there is currently no contact between Italy and Japan.
“I’m open to everything, but at the moment I’m not looking for a place to return at any cost – Andrea specified – I am only interested in projects of a certain type. So if there is a chance to return to MotoGP in 2021 or 2022, I’ll be the first to talk about it, otherwise there is no problem. “
Recently there was talk of a “token” offer, but Dovi doesn’t seem to agree. Under no circumstances would he say yes.
“It depends on what you offer – he said – There has to be a project, the desire to try it together. Should there be such a thing, maybe for 2022, I’ll be the first to be happy. I’m used to doing things well. So if both sides have the intention and desire, we can talk about it. “
