The Ducati team presented itself ahead of the 2019 MotoGP season. On this occasion, he proclaimed to anyone who would listen that this season would be his. It's even written on the fairing of the GP19. An ambition displayed so blatantly and a message distilled so strongly that it will be impossible to miss it. Everything will rest on the shoulders of one man: Andrea Dovizioso. How does he take this pressure?
Apparently not so bad. It must be said that he too wants his moment of truth. Double vice-world champion at the end of the last two campaigns, this time he wants to pass Marquez in the general classification. And no one will stand in his way among his people...
On what awaits him, he comments on MotoGP.com: “ there will be more riders competing for the title in 2019. Triumphant in MotoGP is never easy, but I finished vice-World Champion twice in a row, with completely different courses. Last season we had our ups and downs… I also made a few mistakes. Ultimately, I think we can still be satisfied because we were in the game on almost all the circuits and then we learned from our missteps ».
He pursues : " In the meantime I'm very excited about getting back into competition. I find this bike really beautiful, but this year even more so than the other times. Of course, every year is different, but I am confident. I had a very good feeling during the first tests. We tested some new pieces there and our pace was pretty good. At Sepang we will have the new bike in its entirety. But I think we can be competitive from the start. Then it's up to us to build on its foundations, we will also have other elements to test. Yes, I think we can fight for the Championship ».
