After the 2018 season’s opening round, which saw a splendid victory in Qatar, Andrea Dovizioso is now getting ready to tackle the next race in this year’s MotoGP World Championship. The Argentina GP will take place from 6 to 8 August at the Termas de Río Hondo circuit in the northern part of the country, approximately one hour by plane from the capital Buenos Aires.
The Argentina GP has now arrived at its fourteenth edition, and the fifth at this circuit. Andrea Dovizioso scored his best result here in 2015, when he finished the race in second place, while last year he was forced to retire following a crash caused by a collision with another rider’s bike.
The Termas de Río Hondo weekend will get underway on Friday morning with the first free practice session at 10.55 (15.55 CET), while the 25-lap race is scheduled for Sunday at 15.00 local time (20.00 CET).
Andrea Dovizioso (Ducati Team #04) – 1st (25 points)
“This circuit is rather unusual, in that the conditions change a lot between Friday, when the track surface is usually very dirty, and Sunday, when the asphalt has improved considerably. Last year at Termas we struggled a lot, but the Desmosedici GP has improved a lot since then and after the win in Qatar we are very excited, so our aim now is to get a good result also in Argentina!”
