Andrea Dovizioso had a mixed first part of the season. Because this campaign had been announced by Ducati as one of fruition. However, the scenario strangely resembles that experienced a year ago, except that DesmoDovi's place as runner-up in the general classification is this time coveted by his own teammate Petrucci and Álex Rins on the Suzuki. The fact remains that if the redundancy is confirmed, he should come out satisfied with the Czech Republic Grand Prix this Sunday…
Because it is Andrea Dovizioso who emerged victorious from the Battle of Brno by a breath in front Lorenzo, then at Ducati, and for a little more than three tenths ahead of this devil Marc Marquez. But be careful, this time the latter will have a more muscular Honda engine…
For the next race, Andrea Dovizioso declared: “ the summer break is always useful to recharge the batteries and put things into perspective. Although our finish line position at Assen and Sachsenring was satisfactory, our sensations were not the best on these two tracks ».
The Ducati rider then continued: “ There is no doubt that we must remain positive: we have worked hard in all areas during these three weeks and we are ready to face the second part of the championship with great motivation. We are going to tracks where I am sure we can be very competitive and fully demonstrate our potential. ».
We will recall that Marc Márquez scored 70 points out of a possible 75 after the Catalan, Assen and Sachsenring Grands Prix. During this time, Petrucci collected 39 and Dovizioso only 24, regretting in particular an abandonment in Catalonia. However, the Ducati team leads the team ranking with 38 points ahead of Repsol Honda.
