Jorge Lorenzo has ruled out backing up other riders in a bid to help Ducati team-mate Andrea Dovizioso beat Marc Marquez to the MotoGP title in Sunday's Valencia showdown
Dovizioso has to win the race and hope Marquez finishes outside the top 11 to win the title.
Lorenzo meanwhile ended up fourth fastest on the best of the Ducatis, but looked to have the pace to challenge Marquez until crashing early on.
"You can do things, but it's not my mentality," said Lorenzo. "We have to play right.
"If [Dovi] is in the first group and there are not so many riders there, and he has a chance to win, it would be the ideal thing for him, knowing that Marc can make some mistakes or have some problems.
"He needs to win for sure, and he [Marc] needs to finish 12th or worse.
"It's very difficult for that to happen. It's easier that he has a failure of the engine or he crashes.
"The chances of Dovi are small, but there's always a risk and a hope in MotoGP."
