Ce Italian Grand Prix starts off badly for one Andrea Dovizioso who must, however, this weekend, perform flawlessly to hope to upset Marc Márquez with three successive victories. His teammate Michele Pirro was the victim of a terrible fall and the engine of his GP18 betrayed him. His second bike behaved differently from his first so that he was thirteenth overall in the two free practice sessions. Or out of the top 10, for the moment in Q.1 and with many questions in mind. Because events did not allow the planned work plan to be executed…
In fact, finding yourself with the new speed record on the Mugello straight is not really a consolation for DesmoDovi: “ I'm disappointed by this Friday and not really interested in this 356.4 km/h. We couldn't work, we lost two practice sessions. Which is frankly not ideal for starting a Grand Prix. We don't know why my engine broke. They are studying this ».
He pursues : " I took the second bike and it was the tires that no longer worked on it. This disturbed us. The only good news is that, apparently, Michele is not doing too badly. When I pass where he fell, I get scared every time. It's a borderline place. Whether you go there with fins or without ».
And then ? “ Fortunately, we carried out tests and during these we were able to collect good indications, even if the conditions are different. That's how it is, we'll make do with it ". The best Ducati at the end of this Friday in Italy is the GP17 of Miller, fifth overall.
