Together with Andrea Dovizioso they left the Top Class at the end of the last Grand Premo in Misano, at the end of another difficult weekend for the veteran from Forlì. Ramon Forcada by now he knows all the implications of the Yamaha M1, a bike that until a few years ago was considered the most versatile and easy to ride, even for a rookie, with agility and cornering that would be the envy of any manufacturer.
Ramon Forcada on Dovizioso and Ducati
A lot has changed in the 2021 season when Fabio Quartararo he confirmed himself as MotoGP world champion. Today the Frenchman is the only driver of the brand who manages to push the YZR-M1 to the limit. In an interview with Nico Abad’s channel on Twitch, the Catalan coach was quite clear on the problem that Andrea Dovizioso has had in recent seasons: “The bike has a number of components and has wheels. You can’t forget the wheels … Dovizioso disappeared, he started having problems when the rear carcass was changed “.
For three years he touched the title MotoGP, having to surrender to the best Marc Marquez. Then the move to Yamaha after several sabbatical months. For the Forlì it was the last chapter of a prestigious and long career in MotoGP. Ducati is unmatched right now, there is no secret behind its supremacy. “It has some advantages, but there is nothing irregular about it“, Continued Ramon Forcada, with reference to the single control unit introduced in 2016.”They already used Magneti Marelli, in the end it was the electronics made for their engine and they use it for their bike“.
After all, the Borgo Panigale brand can boast eight prototypes Desmosedici GP on the grid. “If Ducati has eight riders and five can win, the bike is fine. If Honda or Yamaha have a rider who is doing well, it’s thanks to the rider. They both have a winter ahead [per migliorare]”.
