MotoGP’s ‘Mr Consistency’ up to a recent up and down form, Andrea Dovizioso has come back to form in
a fourth placing at the Czech Republic in the final round, after claiming three consecutive DNFs ensued by his sole ever race
victory in the last four events.
The Italian is confident in making a massive performance this weekend at Indianapolis,
where he headed the initial two laps of last season’s race whilst competing for the Scot Racing staff, ending fifth
as the weather conditions quickly deteriorated.
Following his amazing Donington victory and antoher minor stage
miss at Brno, a sturdy result for Dovizioso this weekend would allow him an advantage of moving forward of Colin Edwards and
slot into fifth place in the rankings.
Dovizioso was definately unlucky at the last round as he placed the Czech
event just under a second following third placed Toni Elías, however the Honda man can chase down Edwards in the rankings
to allow his year to be rosier, with the Texan only five points in ahead of him.
Commenting on the preview to the
Indy weekend, Dovizioso says, “This is the second time that we race at Indianapolis and I have to say that last year
I immediately found a good feeling with this new track. It’s a typical American venue with great facilities and huge
grandstands so the experience of riding there is special.”
“I was fourth in the last race at Brno but
that was actually a little disappointing because I was so close to the podium again, so I’m looking forward to getting
back on track and putting that right. It won’t be easy, especially during the first practice session because it’s
a different type of circuit and it’s not so easy to dial into the layout at the beginning. However, I expect us to be
closer to the front at this race because the track is quite slow and I think that we will have fewer problems than in Brno
where the track amplified our issues.”
