After leaving Austin (United States) with the lead in the Riders, the Mission Winnow Ducati rider is ready to begin the long, intense European phase of the calendar, with eleven races in the Old Continent, the first of which will be held at Jerez de la Frontera (Spain).
Andrea Dovizioso – who will ride his 200th MotoGP race on Sunday is determined to make the most of the feedback gathered during the winter tests and the first races of 2019 to rewrite the statistics.
Andrea Dovizioso (#04 Mission Winnow Ducati) – 1st (54 points)
“We arrive at Jerez in the lead but, more than for the championship position itself, I’m happy first and foremost for the feeling with the bike so far this year. Our competitiviness has further increased and we managed to defend ourselves even on historically difficult tracks, but it’s also true that there are even more riders capable of fighting for the podium and the season has just started. I believe that in Jerez we’ll be able to be stronger than in the past, last year during the race we had already shown progress, but we need to keep our head down and work hard to make more improvements and to be contenders on every single track.”
