Just a few days after the Dutch GP, ended in fourth on the finish line, Dovizioso is ready to resume action near Chemnitz (Germany) at Sachsenring for the ninth round of the 2019 MotoGP World Championship, the last one before the summer break.
Dovi’s target is to get closer to the top of the standings and finish the first leg of the season positively ahead of a challenging start of the second phase, with three races scheduled in August.
Andrea Dovizioso (#04 Ducati Team) – 2nd (116 points)
“The track’s layout isn’t particularly suited for our bike’s characteristics, but the tyres also play a key role towards the final result of the race. I don’t expect an easy challenge as we’ll have plenty of strong rivals, and not just Márquez because probably Yamaha and Suzuki will also be competitive on an anti-clockwise track with so many tight corners. At any rate, we know we have our work cut out for us but each race is a different story and we want to keep moving forward on this circuit. Last year the gap on the finish line was small, but we still have room for improvement. We need to stay focused and finish the first half of the championship on a positive note.”
