It looks like Dovi is parting ways with Ducati 8O

I like Dovi. It’d be a shame if he didn’t have a decent ride next year.
In a way I kind of classify him very much like Danny Pedrosa and has always been the second fiddle to another rider. Look what Danny has done for KTM this year as their test rider. Finally being listened to and they are right at the sharp end. I’d love to see Dovi get on one and Kick Ducati’s a$$ next year

I think they were all very lucky, everybody walked away which is just amazing. It's got to mess with your brain

Understandable. He'd still be haunted by the loss of his close friend Marco 58 :( .

The MOTOGP crash was unbelievable - Not even a 1/10th of a second later and the outcome could have been totally different for both Yam riders.

I think Airbags are a massive game changer :thumbup:

I wish all the riders well. There skills are amazing, there courage immense, but you do wonder. Definitely a young man's game as far as I am concerned, but boy oh boy is it entertaining. And it just goes to prove how much of a mean machine that Honda must be if only one man can truly ride it. Honda will be extremely glad to have him back. I wonder how he would fair on a. n. o. bike after adapting his riding to the Honda. Still the competition is now wide open, or so the commentators would have you believe.
I do have some sympathy for Zarco, he has now become the real bad boy, but both incidents seem, to me, to be the whole point of racing and trying for that advantage
