Former MotoGP contender Andrea Dovizioso has delivered a sharp analysis regarding this season's championship battle as the campaign nears its final showdown. Speaking on his podcast, the Italian veteran highlighted how a massive mathematical advantage in the standings was squandered, handing a golden opportunity back to their main rivals in the premier class.
Reflecting on the dramatic shifts in momentum throughout the year, Dovizioso pointed out that the technical package of the Noale factory machine paired with Marco Bezzecchi possessed superior raw speed compared to the rest of the field during the opening and middle phases of the calendar. Holding a gap of over one hundred points following the Mugello round should have served as an unassailable cushion for the Italian rider.
"Regarding Marc, it's useless to reiterate how good and strong he is, and of course he deserves this title," Dovizioso explained on his podcast. "But if we analyze this year's season, the Bezzecchi-Aprilia combination was faster than the Marquez-Ducati combination. They had even built an advantage of more than 100 points. However, if you are faster and it was proven that your bike was more competitive on multiple tracks, if you don't win the championship, it means you threw it away."
Despite the missed opportunities by his compatriots, Dovizioso reserved immense praise for the psychological resilience displayed by the dominant eight-time world champion Marc Marquez, who staged an unprecedented comeback from a massive points deficit.
"What Marquez managed to do after the surgery is an impressive feat," the former Ducati rider added. "He stated himself that mentally he is in the best and strongest condition of his career. This year he made a huge difference mentally compared to any other rider. But it was Bezzecchi and Aprilia who were not good enough and therefore they might have thrown it away."
