MotoGP | Qatar GP, Press Conference: Dovizioso, “We are faster than last season”

MotoGP GP Qatar Press Conference – Andrea Dovizioso spoke in the classic Pre-GP press conference, which this time precedes the opening race of the 2018 MotoGP, the Qatar GP. The Ducati rider is highly motivated, let him have the say.

“It's been a very positive winter, I'm very happy with last season, it was an incredible year and the positive thing is that I expect to be even more competitive this year. We worked very well during the winter tests, the Ducati worked very well, we tested everything in the right way, but only the races can tell the truth, so let's wait for this one and then the next ones, which will be able to say a lot about our level."

Can we say that this year you are going to win for the first time?

“Yes, in the past, despite racing with an official bike, we never set out to win. There were some difficult moments and we couldn't fight in all the races. This year we have what it takes to do it, we have all the ingredients, both from me and from the bike. This doesn't mean I'm sure we can fight for the championship, but that's the approach."

What do you think of Valentino Rossi's renewal, who will race for another three years.

“It doesn't surprise me, Valentino is still fit and competitive, so I expected him to continue racing.”
