Rain in Brno stops Dovizioso from shining

JiR Team Scot rider Andrea Dovizioso is a determined figure in the run-up to Sunday´s Cardion ab Grand Prix Ceske republiky, looking to make amends for a lowly qualifying placing.

Andrea Dovizioso – Fourteenth

`Today was a day that just worked against us. Because of bad weather we were unable to carry out the test programme during the qualifications, and placing us in a position where we must fight to redeem a result that does not represent our potential. With the rain ever more intense I found it very difficult to find any grip, and too much time was lost to have any chance of catching the riders who recorded the best lap time in the initial laps. Tomorrow will be a tough race. I am determined to get the most out of the tyres at our disposal. We will have to do our best to interpret the weather conditions which are forecast to be changable, with the possibility of a dry race.´
