Andrea Dovizioso isn't entirely worried, but he still has questions. His GP19 shows good pace, but this evening's result gives him eighth place, in a ranking where unpublished names find themselves at the forefront. Info or intox ? This is precisely what he would like to know!
Andrea Dovizioso is a Cartesian man and he likes to understand situations. We, listening to him, for the moment, assessing the overall level of the MotoGP 2019 field is an ink bottle… “ Strange day if you study the lap times. I don't think they reflect reality. The position of some pilots is not realistic. Some only worked for the race. So it's complicated to understand exactly everyone's potential. » comments Dovi on motogp.com.
He specifies : " but we did long series of laps like in Malaysia. The conditions are different from those of last year. For example the track is slower. We are working on our pace and on the details for the race. The pace is good but it is complicated to know if we are faster or slower than our opponents ". He ends on a technical note: “ we think we will favor the triple fin fairing. But we'll see that ».
