After a three-week break, Andrea Dovizioso and the Ducati Team are ready to resume action and begin the second half of the 2019 MotoGP World Championship at Brno, home of the Czech GP and tenth round of the season. On the historic Moravian track, which opened in its current configuration in 1987, the Ducati rider triumphed ahead of Jorge Lorenzo in a sprint to the finish line last year.
Dovizioso, currently second in the championship with 127 points, has collected five podiums in total at Brno and is keen to take advantage of the characteristics of both the track and the Desmosedici GP to cut the gap from the leader.

“The summer break is always a good time to recharge and put things into perspective. Despite the fact that our position on the finish line at Assen and Sachsenring was acceptable, our feeling on the bike wasn’t been the best in those circuits. Without a doubt, we need to stay positive in this moment: we’ve worked hard under each aspect during these three weeks and we’re ready to tackle the second half of the season with great motivation. We’ll race on tracks where we should be very competitive and able to show our full potential.”
