GP TERUEL, THE MOST OUTSTANDING OF THE LIBERAS
Complicated Friday in Aragon for Andrea Dovizioso and in general for the Borgo Panigale team: in the combined GP Teruel classification, after the first two tests, all the Ducatis were out of the top ten. Dovizioso, still fighting for the World Championship (he is -15 points behind the leader Mir), finished 19th with 1: 49.240, a second and a half behind Nakagami. On paper, Motorland is a favorable circuit for Ducati, so the problems lie in other factors, as Dovizioso himself explains at the end of free practice 2: “It is not a problem of track layout or asphalt temperatures, but only of the new tire. I can’t get out well to make a good entrance to the corner and I’m not good at the exit. I have had the same problems that I have had since the beginning of the year., I thought it would improve more than the others. If Petrucci complains of a lack of grip in the middle of the turn and therefore has a different feel to me, it depends on his riding style.
