Three weeks after the Sachsenring race, Andrea Dovizioso and the Ducati Team have now arrived at Brno in the Czech Republic for the tenth round and the turning point in the 2018 MotoGP season.
Even though Dovizioso likes the layout of the Moravian track a lot, the Italian has never had much luck at Brno and his best result was second place in 2011, while in last year’s race, which was held on a wet then dry track surface, the Italian rider managed to make his way back up to sixth place after a stop in the pits to change bike.
The Czech GP weekend programme will get underway on Friday morning with the first free practice session at 9.55am, while the 21-lap race is scheduled for Sunday at 14.00 CET.
Andrea Dovizioso (Ducati Team #04) – 4th (88 points)
“After the WDW at Misano and a short break, I’m now ready for the second part of the season and very excited about the next round in the Czech Republic. Brno is one of the most beautiful and most difficult circuits on the MotoGP calendar, but it has a lot of fascination. We are still missing something in the management of the tyres during the race, but I expect us to be competitive and fight for the victory at every circuit from Brno onwards.”
