MotoGP Phillip Island: Andrea Dovizioso “Happy with how the weekend started but let's see how it goes tomorrow”

Andrea Dovizioso MotoGP 2016 Free Practice Phillip Island Team Ducati – Andrea Dovizioso he closed the first day of free practice at Phillip Island with a good 5th time. The driver from Forlì, fresh from his excellent 2nd place in Motegi, achieved the fifth best time on the eleventh of the thirteen laps run during the morning's FP1, in 1'41”569. The rider from Romagna then decided not to take to the track in the afternoon due to the increasing intensity of the rain, which then forced the organizers to stop the session with a red flag after the first 15 minutes.

“This morning we found some rather extreme conditions – said Andrea Dovizioso – and so we did a session halfway through because there was too much water on the track, but it was still an indicative session because it made us understand the behavior of the tires on water. In the end we achieved a good time, which puts us in fifth position, and now we will have to see the conditions we will find tomorrow. However, I am happy with how I started this weekend.”
