Just a few days of rest and traveling after the third round of the season in Argentina and the entire MotoGP paddock is already off to the United States, where the partly resurfaced Circuit of The Americas awaits for Grand Prix number four.
The 5.5-kilometer layout close to Austin is one of the most varied in the GP calendar.
Dovi is looking to make up some lost ground from Termas de Rio Hondo, where he had to stop in the pitlane after just one lap, but later on found a good rhythm and some improvements.
He already had some decent sensations aboard his Yamaha YZR-M1 last year and aims to cement his improvements with a strong result.
The WithU Yamaha RNF MotoGP Team gets ready for Free Practice one this Friday at 09:55 local time (16:55 CET), while the race on Sunday will get underway at 13:00 local time (20:00 CET).

“I’m happy to go to Austin, because I felt quite good there last year. The asphalt will be new, so we are curious how it’s going to feel. Anyway, I look forward to go there straight away to try to make a decent result. In the end, my pace in the race in Argentina was quite good, I was able to fight and I didn’t expect that before the race. So, we have some ideas after what I tried in the race in Termas. I was riding alone and able to play a little bit with the bike. We will try something in Austin and let’s see if it will help me to get a better feeling overall.”
