Apparently, Dovi has taken the power away from Ducati by his manager informing Ducati that Dovi will not continue with Ducati next year. Just announced on the motogp feed.


ETA...Now confirmed by Ciabatti.

Good on him, but he should have been shopping around from the get go. I’m sure that Now the decision for Aprilia to dump Iannone becomes a bit easier.

No mention of Zarco being considered for the ride?

The discussion of the feed is whether it will be Bagnaia, Zarco, or...wait for it...Lorenzo

Tardozzi just said no decision on his replacement.

Interview with Battistella, Dovi's manager, says Dovi has no option for next year. He didn't like the distraction of all the contract BS.

There was some social media talk of Dovi going to KTM, but just gossip at this point.

I guess it makes it easier to cut Iannone loose.

Depending on the ruling of the doping appeal...

they might not have to make that decision.

Agreed, had it not been for the alien of aliens that is marquez dovi would have been world champion the last 2 years.  I understand ducati wants to get some younger more aggressive riders signed but I would think a lot of the input that got the bike wear it is now came from dovi.

Another level headed Oz statement. Very little douche-bag'ery from him, Bayliss, Miller and probably more  waytogo (not counting Kookoo)

This ties in to what Casey said the other day.
