Alex De Angelis: 'It's not true that there was a Ducati for me'

Alex De Angelis says his future is now 100% in Moto2 , the new championship series that will replace the 250cc next year.
De Angelis, who will undergo shoulder surgery next Tuesday, in a video interview with the San Marino National Televison Station has vehemently denied rumors that he had a Ducati option that would have consented him to remain in MotoGP.

“I’ve several offers for Moto2 but I haven’t decided yet, but it’s only a matter of hours.
Superbike hasn’t really been an option, so for the past couple of days Moto2 is now 100%.
I’m very angry with what Sportmediaset and all the San Marino newspapers wrote because if there is someone who didn’t let any opportunities get by, that’s me.

I’ve given up a 1000 things to try to stay in MotoGP so those fake rumors really, really bother me.
It’s absolutely untrue that Ducati offered us a bike and that we didn’t want it, on the contrary, it we had known about this before I’d probably still be in MotoGP.

”“I’ve had offers from Superbike teams and this is really flattering because it’s a great championship, but I perfer to stay near theMotoGP championship.
I’m still young and in Superbikes you can go when you’re 30/32 years old and still have seven seasons, so I perfer staying here and if things to don’t go well, I still have alot of time to do well in Superbikes.
