MotoGP: Dovi says Brno ‘a fascinating place’

Andrea Dovizioso says that he’s looking forward to seeing what the weekend will bring for him and the Ducati MotoGP squad at the Czech Grand Prix, as they go into a race that he describes as ‘fascinating’ thanks to it’s unique layout and history.

A difficult place for the Italian marque in recent years, he nonetheless says he’s hoping that they can salvage a good result from the weekend as he maintains his hopes of challenging for the 2017 title after a strong start to the season that includes two race wins so far.

“I spent a month relaxing during the summer and I’m now ready for the second half of the season, all excited about the next race in the Czech Republic. Brno is one of the most beautiful and difficult circuits on the world championship calendar, but it’s always a fascinating place. In the last few years I haven’t gone particularly well there, but I’ll be making every effort to bring home a good result this weekend.”

Jorge Lorenzo goes into the weekend more upbeat than his teammate on the second Desmosedici, however, hoping that while they might have struggled there in the past, he hopes that his own success at Brno in the past will help translate into something more for him come Sunday.

“We’ve reached the half-way point of the season and after a few days’ vacation immediately after the German GP, I have been training hard the last three weeks to prepare for the second part of the championship.

“Brno is a circuit where I feel really good and I think I can get a good performance out of my bike. It’s a track with lots of corners, all linked together, and I’ve got a lot of good memories here. I can’t wait to get back to working with my team to boost my competitiveness in the last nine rounds of the championship, and I’m sure we’ll make a big step forward.”
