Since MotoGP returned to Brno last week, we have found a Lorenzo more incisive on his Ducati, including in his speeches. The new fairing has had its effect and, if in the Czech Republic a good result was missed, it is not the fault of the driver. But because of a disastrous return to the pits during the race, a confusion which was costly. However, Por Fuera keeps his spirits up and announces great things in Austria. Her team doesn't expect anything else...

The first part of the season was a failure and you just have to look at the World Championship standings to be convinced: Andrea Dovizioso is third overall with 133 points and the Majorcan, hired at great expense to pull the team up, is tenth with 66 points.

Of course, there is this adaptation time necessary to understand a Ducati coming from a Yamaha, but heading into the eleventh round of the championship, the patience of the Borgo Panigale team has apparently reached its limit. At least that's what emerges from a comment by Davide Tardozzi, distilled like a subliminal message…

« He has the right mental posture to get a podium and maybe even better. From my point of view, his learning period is over, now he must realize ". The mind and the bike must now go hand in hand. And what better than a Red Bull Ring to tie it all together. Last year, the Desmosedici GP16s ruled the roost in Styria.

Certainly, but with fins and less seasoned competition: “ this year it will be different » admits the same Tardozzi. “ We will be among the favorites, but Honda was worse a year ago than today and the Yamahas will still be there. Victory will not be easy to achieve, but our two drivers have assets in their game to achieve it ».

Both and not the only one Dovizioso. Yes, Ducati expects a return on its investment Lorenzo.
