I always said if I would not be competitive, I don\u2019t want to be here,\u201d Dovizioso told MotoGP.com, adding that he has struggled to adapt to the technical changes in the sport.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is no reason, especially after 20 years. I never tried to have a place for next year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m completely relaxed about that. I already did half a year out of racing last year. I already tested (retirement), so I\u2019m OK about that. I didn\u2019t want to finish the season like this.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dovizioso told Reuters earlier this year that he had been struggling for points-scoring finishes as he was unable to get to grips with the Yamaha bike which was very different to the Ducati machine he raced on for eight years.<\/p>\n<p>The 36-year-old added that only reigning champion Fabio Quartararo was comfortable on the Yamaha this year and if the others did not ride like him, they were bound to struggle.<\/p>\n<p>Quartararo leads the standings this season but the next best Yamaha rider is his factory Yamaha team mate Franco Morbidelli in 19th.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf Fabio\u2019s winning, there is a reason. So this means there is a possibility to be fast,\u201d Dovizioso added.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut if the other riders are complaining, like in the last (few) years, it means there isn\u2019t more ways to be competitive like in the past.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMotoGP has changed a lot. In the past, 10 years ago, the same riders were on top \u2014 doesn\u2019t matter which bike\u2026 Now it\u2019s different, the mechanical parts are a bit more important.\u201d<\/p>\n<p> (Reporting by Rohith Nair in Bengaluru; Editing by Toby Davis)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/?attachment_id=2725525\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/tagreuters.com2022binary_LYNXMPEI6B0ZI-VIEWIMAGE.jpg\" alt=\"tagreuters.com2022binary_LYNXMPEI6B0ZI-VIEWIMAGE\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Reuters) \u2013 Andrea Dovizioso will quit MotoGP at the end of the year and will not return for the 2023 season as he no longer enjoys racing without being able<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":66,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1551253","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1551253","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/66"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1551253"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1551253\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1551253"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1551253"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1551253"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
