Dovizioso and Lorenzo are the two sides of Ducati, the first in the mix for the title, the second working to adapt to the red bike with more difficulty than expected. The month's break has allowed Andrea to recharge the batteries and prepare for the final push and Jorge to get things in order ready start over in a positive frame of mind.
Brno is the next test bench, a track that has been tough for Andrea Dovizioso in the past, but this year statistics are more effort than they are worth.
“I spent a month relaxing during the summer and I’m now ready for the second half of the season, all excited about the next race in the Czech Republic - commented the Italian - Brno is one of the most beautiful and difficult circuits on the world championship calendar, but it’s always a fascinating place. In the last few years I haven’t gone particularly well there, but I’ll be making every effort to bring home a good result this weekend.”
Jorge Lorenzo, though, has always got on well in the Czech Republic and he wants to use the opportunity to start this second part of the season on the right foot.
“We’ve reached the half-way point of the season and after a few days’ vacation immediately after the German GP, I have been training hard the last three weeks to prepare for the second part of the championship. Brno is a circuit where I feel really good and I think I can get a good performance out of my bike - affirms the Majorcan - It’s a track with lots of corners, all linked together, and I’ve got a lot of good memories here. I can’t wait to get back to working with my team to boost my competitiveness in the last nine rounds of the championship, and I’m sure we’ll make a big step forward.”
