Andrea Dovizioso is focussed on taking a good result at Laguna Seca this weekend. The Italian has been on the stage this
year four times, though not in the prior three races, he wants to change that at the Red Bull U.S. Grand Prix.
“I’m
really looking forward to racing at Laguna Seca because it’s a unique track, and also because I want to improve on my
result from the last race in Germany,” says the 24 year old. “We are completely focused on getting a strong finish
this weekend before we head into the MotoGP summer break.”
Dovizioso arrived fourth at Laguna in his debut
premier session and was in the same place last season before a crash resulted.
He adds, “Last year I was
fast at Laguna and I was having a great race until unfortunately I clipped the plastic poles at the exit of Pit Lane at high
speed and it damaged my clutch lever, which later contributed to my crash. Until that point I was fighting with Valentino
and it could have been a good race. But still, this means I’m confident going into the weekend and I know we can be
strong at this Grand Prix. Dani won the race here last year – and also the last race in Germany on Sunday – and
this gives us extra motivation too.”
“The Laguna track is special – very different from the standard
of tracks we are used to in Europe, and for this reason it is interesting to race here. I really like the atmosphere, the
people and the fans and it’s always a pleasure to come to California," he ends.
