Professor Andrea Dovizioso is loading. Indeed, in his words, "never been more ready." Smiles, Dovi, perfectly at ease in the role of protagonist announced a Ducati reborn in the World that snaps next week in Qatar. As well as in the role of a teacher for a day. It is her, in fact, one of the faces of #guardaavanti, the social campaign launched by Tim together with Ducati, for the conscious use, indeed, not the use of mobile phones when you are behind the wheel. And so, for a few hours here is Andrea settle down on a stool in front of a few hundred high school students Bertolucci and Primo Levi Parma to talk about road safety. "I was too young, and I know that at that age you try to be one of the coolest. But running, you know how much security is important. At your age you feel strong and invincible, but just a nothing because the consequences are serious. For you or for those meetings on the road "is the message. Accustomed to exceed 300 times on the track, road car driver or motorcycle is Dovizioso? "I've never been one who does stupid things, indeed, those who hate behaves well. We who run in bike on the track we have a greater sensitivity to risk, we know most of the risks that we are running, even if it is not always easy to go slow on the street. " From #guardaavanti to look ahead: in a week is runs in Qatar and after a great winter she said that they have never been more ready than now. "It is the reality. Especially when it touches the bottom. We have to tell the truth, the first year that I did in Ducati, we have hit bottom at the level of results and situations, considering the goals that Ducati has always had and that I've always had. That's been a very, very difficult, and now this situation makes us enjoy, because we have worked and suffered a lot and now, after a job done very well and intelligently, we are to be competitive. Very competitive. So today, finishing the test in Qatar ahead of those that you journalists call the Fantastic Four and ahead of Honda and Yamaha is a situation beyond description. I say this for myself, but also for Dall'Igna, for all engineers who have worked and suffered in recent years, for Domenicali, Ciabatti and the whole team. You already nice to be in this situation, but we are so overloaded that we hope this is just the beginning. "

Presented the new Ducati Desmosedici GP15 for the MotoGP World that snaps in Qatar on 29 March. From left Andrea Iannone and Andrea Dovizioso with ...
We are not yet parties, but there have been whispers means of Rossi, Lorenzo, Marquez ... seems to be back to the times of Stoner, Ducati when victories were explained with the Bridgestone tires, gasoline hidden in the frame ... In short, in a few weeks the Ducati has been back on fear.
"And I believe that today we are more competitive and strong. Then Casey dominated, but it was especially he who made the difference, in fact, the second Ducati he has never been close. It means that the bike was not as competitive. At this time, however, the GP15 is competitive, is a motorcycle regular basis, that works. Now it's up to us to work on the finishing touches to make a difference and win. " You mean you goes in Qatar to win? "No, we go to Qatar to make the podium. In testing we were fast. But I know very well those four opponents, I know that bikes have, how they work in the testing and race weekend. Making the podium will still a very difficult undertaking. " If Dall'Igna managed to make this bike, the merit in any case it is also his and Andrea Iannone you have given some guidance. "A result of this level you can not get to the merits of a one person. A pilot can not succeed if it does not have a team behind you, but the same applies to an engineer, if he has people working under him well and a pilot who directs him in the right direction. There are drivers more sensitive, good and less good, but unless you have behind a structure with people who have some knowledge and understanding to work together, not going anywhere. " Three words to define Dall'Igna. "Mature. Competent and ... (long pause; ed ) determined. " The first thing he said after the first lap at Sepang riding the GP15. "...., the bike runs. And it was the only thing I wanted to hear. " Dovizioso at this moment feels revalued? "I want to answer this question. Because when you defend certain colors that have won a lot, people automatically think that's the winning bike. It's stupid and wrong. I believe to have been underestimated in some years past, when I made good results but I did not win. Ducati, where for so no one could win, doing good results now are revalued. Yes, I have matured, I manage better certain situations, but they are not very different from the past. The truth is, as always in the middle. "
Surely, after being rejected by many drivers in the past, also on the experience of the failure of Rossi, will confirm whether the expectations now this Ducati will gorge to many.
"Yes, but I want to stay here. If I looked around would mean that no I'm making the results I want, instead we have two years ahead along with a good project. The goal is to win, then we'll think about the future. " Iannone what tells the GP15? "He has a different way of talking and describing things. At the end of the concepts are the same, but in different terms. He felt the same feelings, the bike works, certainly can not say that does not go. " The problem with the braking is solved? "No. Because we did not have time to work, but the Qatar do not require this stability such as Malaysia. So at Losail was not a big deal. " He spoke of the Fantastic Four. Where do you put? "I feel that this year can I get in. Marquez has something more and at this time the level is very high, in the past there have never been so many great drivers at the same time. However, Marc, Valentino, Lorenzo and Pedrosa won more than me, so it would be useless to say that I feel to their peers. But I feel that I can do it. " How many races will pass before the Ducati start having to do without the advantages of tires and petrol reserved for Open? "Regardless of what happens, there will condition. We have created a competitive bike, if we take away these benefits will not make us go back."
