Andrea Dovizioso and the Ducati Team have arrived at the Autodromo Internazionale del Mugello for the Italian Grand Prix, the sixth round of the 2017 MotoGP World Championship, and one of the most popular and prestigious rounds of the calendar.
For the Ducati Team rider, this will be a truly special occasion seeing as it is the home race for him and the team. Andrea’s best result at Mugello is a second place he scored in 2011, while last year he finished the race in fifth place.
The Italian GP weekend gets underway on Friday morning with the first free practice session at 9.55 am, while the 23-lap race is scheduled for Sunday at 2 pm.
Andrea Dovizioso (Ducati Team #04) – 6th (54 points)
“The Mugello round is the home grand prix for both me and for Ducati, so it is always something special. We count on being competitive seeing as for us it is a track we know very well, and so we will be looking for a good result. The test that we did here a couple of weeks back went well and the feeling is good. I’m convinced that if we work well throughout the weekend, we can do a good race.”
