Andrea Dovizioso on the third row for the United States Grand Prix
At Laguna Seca, the second period of qualifying for the Grand Prix of the United States has ended, leaving Andrea Dovizioso in ninth place, which allows the JiR Team Scot rider to be on the third row. Andrea will have to make an aggressive start and focus on the perfect line around the circuit, along with a large group of opponents who will all be battling for the top positions.
Andrea Dovizioso - rider JiR Team Scot MotoGP HONDA RC212V
9th- best time: 1'21 "974
"During qualifying, we had planned to develop the technical package better for the race, but to be honest I expected a greater improvement. Starting from the third row, here at Laguna Seca, means that I cannot commit the slightest error because in the first turn it is difficult to overtake, and it is important to gain positions immediately. I predict a tough race, as there are many riders who have the same pace. We will focus on a consistent pace for the entire duration of the race tomorrow."
