Ducati Team rider, Andrea Dovizioso, ended the first day of free practice for the Aragón GP in eighth place.
In the morning’s FP1 session, Dovizioso finished sixth, while in FP2 in the afternoon took place in much higher temperatures than in the morning, and the Italian went out towards the end of the session with a soft rear tyre to set his time, setting his fastest lap in 1’48.575 that put the man from Forlì in eighth place.

“It wasn’t a very good day for us, even though there’s not much of a gap to second place. This afternoon we encountered some difficulty and we couldn’t do as many laps as we would have liked. We are working on the electronics and in particular on the mapping, but we have not yet been able to find an entirely satisfactory solution and this didn’t allow us to do the usual job of fine-tuning the set-up. In any case, we are positive and so now will work to try and be more competitive tomorrow.”
