MotoGP Jerez, Qualifying: Andrea Dovizioso “It was very difficult to make the time this afternoon”

Andrea Dovizioso will start from the third row tomorrow in Jerez de la Frontera, theater of the Spanish Grand Prix, third stage of the 2013 world championship. The Ducati rider found the feeling he lost yesterday, even if with the heat of the afternoon he was unable to repeat the morning times. The word is up to him.

“I'm happy with today's work because, compared to yesterday, we improved the set-up and the feeling is back like that of the first two races of the season. When the temperature is colder, like this morning, we manage to push harder and set times a little closer to the leaders, but when the heat comes the gap increases, and this afternoon it was very difficult to set the time. I have a problem with the front tyre, everyone blames it and the many crashes are proof of this. But the race will be very different from practice and when the tires drop, the times go up a lot and we will really see who is in better shape. It will certainly be a very tough and demanding race.”
