Will the return to MotoGP be under the Ducati seal? This is possible given the first tests which took place at the end of July on an Austrian track which revealed itself as a real playground for the Desmosedici. Suddenly, the pressure is on the reds, who have been desperate for Grand Prix success for two years. Especially since Andrea Dovizioso specifies that everything is far from being certain.
With Andrea Dovizioso in its box, we are sure that Ducati will always keep its feet on the ground. To say that the Italian is the type to have measured optimism would almost be an understatement. But the future teammate of Jorge Lorenzo is not the type to burst into flames. Experience taught him that the cup was always far from the lips. This weekend, the return to the Austrian MotoGP calendar could be synonymous with a comeback for the Desmosedici on the top step of the podium. Up to the tires.
Dovi reminds us thus: it is Michelin who will once again play the referee of the meeting: “ the Austrian route suits our bike well. These accelerations in first and second gear, these straight lines of medium length allow us to be fast quite easily. But even if we showed our competitiveness during the last tests, we have to wait to see which tires will be brought by Michelin. Because the track is abrasive and tire wear will be an essential parameter, especially over the distance of a race. ».
Ducati will enter nine motorcycles this weekend. Satellite pilots will want to play their card whileAndrea Iannone won't be the last to want to play boss. With the passion and determination that we know him to be. Dovizioso is currently ninth in the championship with 59 points scored.
