In a new series of YouTube videos from Ducati, Andrea Dovizioso and his team leader Alberto Giribuola give MotoGP fans an insight into daily life on the circuits and what happens in the pits.

Every Saturday a new episode is broadcast on YouTube, which discusses how the Desmosedici or technology works, with both Andrea Dovizioso and his team leader Alberto Giribuola.
In the first issue, the duo talks about what happens when a driver passes through the pits. “ Each session has its own story, like each track and each moment. You approach the first practice session in a certain way. I usually remember the first outing and even if things don't go as planned, we have to stay calm »
“The link with the pilot makes the difference”
« We plan every session, but as everyone knows, a lot of unexpected things can happen. But we always have the situation under control, whether it sounds good or bad, because we have known each other for a very long time and have worked together on the circuit for many years », Explains the 34-year-old pilot.
Swivel explains that it is necessary to know your protégé well. “ It's part of my job to find out if Dovi's lack of sensitivity is due to his mood or something else. It is important to understand this, because deciding what to do is the hardest part for the team leader. After all, a change in configuration always has undesirable consequences. I think it makes a difference if you have a connection between the driver and the crew chief and understand each other well "He says.
