Blown it all on drugs and hookers?
He's got to be pretty desperate to ride the Aprilia RS-GP, right?
He's on it for the next test.

Re: Dovi short of a few quid?
Sat back, watched Aleix ride it while setting respectable times and it didnt blow up and thought "Fuck it, its a possible paycheck for a year"
Worst case scenario, its a mutt again but he is still in the paddock getting well paid and aligned with the other riders contracts when the musical chairs begins again. Best case it becomes the KTM/Suzuki success after a few development years and he shines on it.

Worse case, it's such a dog he pushes to hard and gets proper hurt when it spits him off.

Re: Dovi short of a few quid?
That would be nasty,but Dovi seems to work with what he's got and beyond a certain point he won't try to win on a bike that can only finish 10th. He's more calculating than some.KungFooBob wrote: ↑Wed Mar 17, 2021 8:57 pm Worse case, it's such a dog he pushes to hard and gets proper hurt when it spits him off.
Yin's reasoning sounds plausible to me.

That and they've realised that Salvadori is a waste of Euros.Bigyin wrote: ↑Wed Mar 17, 2021 8:55 pm Sat back, watched Aleix ride it while setting respectable times and it didnt blow up and thought "Fuck it, its a possible paycheck for a year"

Re: Dovi short of a few quid?
Good to see him racing this year. Asparagus never had a problem putting one fast lap in on the Aprilia, DOvi might get a little more out of it. It seemd better in testing too?
Re: Dovi short of a few quid?
One things for sure, he isn't skint, family man + no flash car, years of earing well at top level = not skint.
Win / win for him. No one is expecting the bike to be quick.
his times are slow - bikes a dog
his times are good - bikes still a dog, he's a very good rider
I wonder if the changes after Gresini have changed things, at the team and for Aprillia in Dovi's mind.
