MotoGP: At Laguna Seca Dovizioso with the new chassis

Good news for Andrea Dovizioso. In fact, Ducati managed to bring the new chassis to Laguna Seca, the one that the Italian had damaged after just a few laps in a fall at the Sachsenring.

Nothing revolutionary, but given that it was popular in the Misano tests, having it available is a plus. The former Honda and Yamaha rider knows that it will still be a difficult weekend, the US track in fact turns anti-clockwise like the German one, and like that it has very few right-hand corners compared to many left-hand ones.

As for his team-mate Nicky Hayden (who races at home), it must be said that yesterday during the press conference, he announced the end of his marriage with the Borgo Panigale team. He would like to stay in MotoGP and there could be an exchange of bikes between him and Cal Crutchlow, current Yamaha Tech 3 rider, much courted by Ducati. If this were the case, next year the duo that in 2012 had given satisfaction to Hervè Poncharal's Team Tech 3 would be reformed, that is Dovizioso - Crutchlow, but this time in Ducati.
