Andrea Dovizioso, Ducati (3rd in qualifying, crash and retirement in the race) : "I was at the limit and I made a mistake. I arrived in this curve a little too fast because I had come out stronger from the previous turn. Unfortunately, with less grip, I could not have the same pace as Jorge in the race. It wasn’t too much, one or two tenths, but it forced me to flirt with the limits. There is nothing more to add ".

"When your teammate is fast, it puts a certain pressure", admits with honesty Andrea Dovizioso, who should not displease the idea of ​​swapping next year the very fast – and invasive – Mallorcan for the more discreet Danilo Petrucci! Dovizioso will thus recover the "full powers" in the official team, unless "Petrux" were to eclipse it….

"On the other hand it is positive, because his performances can help us to understand what needs to be improved", he continues with this analytical mind which earned him his nickname of "Professor" in the team of factory of the Borgo Panigale manufacturer.
