MotoGP – Preview Indianapolis – Andrea Dovizioso: “Special atmosphere”

Andrea Dovizioso, leaving the Brno crash behind him, is aiming for a good result on American soil. The Team Honda Repsol rider arrives with a lot of confidence at the Indianapolis event where the "Red Bull Indianapolis GP" will take place next Sunday. The word is up to him.

“I'm always looking forward to racing in the USA and this time is no different. I like to visit America, and the Indianapolis track is a typical American circuit with great facilities and huge grandstands. The MotoGP track is not particularly interesting, but the atmosphere is always special. The circuit has many different types of surfaces and last year this was a bit difficult for us, but I think with this year's package and in particular with the current weight distribution the variety of asphalt and different levels of grip won't be a big problem. If I look back at the Brno GP, I have to say that except for the final result it was a good weekend. We were competitive, our race pace was good, but the result didn't come. So we go to Indy determined to turn this good performance into a result. We need results for the team and for the championship position. Last year I was fourth Indy in the race but we weren't as fast as the leaders, especially Dani (Pedrosa) was very fast. But this means we have the potential to do well and this is extra motivation for the weekend.”
