Even though Marc Márquez leads the championship, Andrea Dovizioso and the Honda rider enter Aragon tied on points heading into the final five races of this season.
A final rush where the slightest mistake will be paid for in cash by the probable loss of the title...
On paper, the Ducati rider is not the favorite on the Spanish circuit, his best result, in 7 participations, being a third place in 2012. Worse, even, last year, he had to drop to 11th position after having fought in the leading group at the start of the race…
Yes, but that was before! Before the Ducati GP 17 became the most homogeneous bike on the grid, and above all, before Andrea Dovizioso underwent a real mental transformation since the middle of last season, in contact with a man who we will talk to you about soon …
We can therefore logically expect that the 2017 Dovizioso will be much more competitive than the 2016 version, the person himself having set his objective at podium level.
Andrea Dovizioso : “MotorLand Aragón is really a beautiful circuit but it is rather unusual, completely different from Misano where I got on the podium for the first time in my Grand Prix career, two weeks ago. Now we know we are competitive at all circuits, and my team and I are really excited about the last five races, so I am aiming for a podium again this weekend. »
