MotoGP Gp Misano 2 Emilia Romagna Ducati Day 1 – Andrea Dovizioso started the weekend of the Emilia Romagna and Riviera di Rimini Grand Prix calmly, working above all from a race perspective.

After seventh place in FP1, he worked all afternoon on the medium tire in FP2 to understand if it could be a solution for the race.

The combined ranking sees him 12th, just over half a second from the top, but "Dovi" remains confident, the situation is better than a week ago. The word is up to him.

“We did the work as scheduled and in the afternoon we did the entire shift with the medium tire which is the only time it can be done, because it gets destroyed in the morning. The point is the usual one, if you want to make the time you have to do two outings, but it was too important to understand the tires and how they worked. Today was the important day to test.”

“Sunday will be a hard-fought race. I think the KTMs found some solution because they were fast. Many riders will be fighting for victory and starting from the top positions will be important. Tomorrow will depend on the weather conditions, but if the track is fast a 31.7 might not be enough to stay in the top ten. In my opinion everything is still open, we are not in a bad situation, but everyone has taken a step forward, the details will make the difference. Staying in the Top Ten and starting from the first two rows will be an important thing. It will be difficult, you have to do everything perfect. I have a little more room to push, we have our chances. The pace wasn't bad, between the fastest lap of the session and my last there are three tenths, the problem is that Morbidelli in the same situation lapped 6 tenths faster, I don't know if we'll be able to recover but a little something is in our hands . I believe and hope that it is the characteristic of the tire that matches best on other bikes. Tomorrow we'll see what comes out with the softness."
