It was a sunny start into the home Grand Prix for Andrea Dovizioso today at the picturesque Mugello circuit, which is a fans’ favorite. Throughout Friday, temperatures have been rising around the 5.2-kilometer track, making life tough for men and material.
The eighth round of the MotoGP World Championship 2022 is a special one for Dovizioso, who is returning to a circuit which bears many good memories for him. Unfortunately, day one didn’t reflect his own expectations.
Yet, he managed to improve his lap time from Free Practice one to Free Practice two by nearly half a second, but ended up in P22.
Dovi already has some ideas on how to improve in Free Practice three tomorrow morning at 09:55 local time ahead of Free Practice four and the all-important Qualifying sessions on Saturday afternoon.

P 22“Overall, today has been a difficult Friday, but we tried something that might help us. Tomorrow we’ll double check again. The gap to the front is still big, but we will see if we can improve a little bit, also by comparing our data to the ones of the other Yamaha riders. On Saturday we definitely aim to make a step in the right direction.”
