Andrea Dovizioso was classified in thirteenth place at the end of the second day of MotoGP testing taking place at the Losail International Circuit in Qatar.
The Ducati Team’s Italian rider completed a total of 42 laps and set his quickest time of the day in 1’55.583 on lap 35.
In the second part of the session, Dovizioso also did a few laps with a new front fairing, which has an innovative aerodynamic shape.
Tomorrow’s final day of testing starts at 16.00 local time and finishes at 23.00 in the evening (CET +2).
Andrea Dovizioso (Ducati Team #04) – 42 laps – 1’55.583 (13th)
“Today was an unusual day because we encountered conditions that were very different from yesterday, both with the humidity and the track grip, but in my opinion it was in any case very important to also lap in this situation. For sure today was more difficult than yesterday, and we used all the session to do a lot of tests and even though the times were not so good in the final classification, it was a very productive day. In the evening I also did a couple of exits with the new fairing: in my opinion, our engineers have done a great job because it wasn’t easy to create a certain aerodynamic downforce without using the winglets. Now we are weighing up the pros and cons before we take a decision and also work out the tracks where this solution can give the biggest advantages.”
