im not sure i agree with this, think its ducati guff myself (which i dont blame them for fwiw) dovi was clearly faster to the point he nearly went into the back of him at one point the time sheets also indicated he was the fastest man on track!
That’s what I think. Even if JLo chucked in a few fast laps later in the race, those early laps Dovi was faster and could have been a problem for MM before his tyres went
Long and the short of it, he wasn't catching zarco, Pedrosa or Marquez, and as Marquez didn't crash, makes it all very irrelevant.
