Today was a difficult day at Termas de Río Hondo for the Italian Ducati Team rider. At the end of today’s two scheduled free practice sessions at the Argentinean circuit, Andrea Dovizioso was classified in fourteenth place.
The Italian rider set seventh quickest time in the morning’s FP1 run, but in the afternoon session, despite improving by more than three-tenths of a second, Dovizioso had to settle for fourteenth overall in the day’s standings.

“This afternoon’s session was a bit strange: there were a few aspects of the bike that in my opinion didn’t work well and so I was not able to lap with any sort of continuity during the session. I didn’t have a good rhythm and we weren’t entirely sorted regarding the electronics, and it was a real pity to be outside the top 10 because tomorrow it might rain.”
