Andrea Dovizioso (Ducati Team) took his third win of the year in stunning style last time out, and is now back in the Championship top two; only 16 points back from Marc Marquez (Repsol Honda Team). Now it's back to UK soil for the rider from Forli, where he took his first premier class win in 2009 at Donington Park. Now we race at Silverstone, but the Ducati rider still has a good record at the track - including a podium in 2015.
The weather is always a doubt in the UK, but a positive test at Misano before the weekend means 'DesmoDovi' arrives ready to get back in the battle at the front once more.
Back to the track for the #test in #Misano before the #BritishGP #dovi04 #Desmodovi #AD04 #forzaducati

Andrea Dovizioso: “After the win in Austria I’m really happy to get back on track at Silverstone. The British circuit is beautiful, but for sure the weekend will be very challenging due to the always changeable weather conditions, and also because the track is full of bumps that make everything more difficult. The test at Misano was very important because we were able to do some work that will be useful both for Silverstone and for the San Marino GP in a couple of weeks’ time.”
