Dribs and drabs from various sites that Dovi might be under consideration for a Petronas Yamaha SRT ride next year, which is currently earmarked for Rossi.
I love Rossi, I never want to see him stop racing, but there's no denying he's not as fast as he used to be. I guess Dovi could potentially do the bike more justice.
I imagine it'll come down to which is more important, sponsorship money or championship points.

Hmmm, maybe so. I won't believe anything until they line up on the grid next year.Yorick wrote: Wed Sep 09, 2020 9:00 pm Apparently not..

Who do you think would do better on the SRT?

Re: Rossi Vs Dovi
Tough to say Dovi might do better, he might not esp given Rossi's ridden Yamaha's since 1953. However I suspect Rossi will bring in a shed load more cash to the team/championship.

Re: Rossi Vs Dovi
No chance.
Dovi would fly on that bike. Proved it on the Tech 3 Yamaha many years ago and it's widely regarded as the best developed "riders" bike in pit lane.
