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.”
