Dovizioso 7th Fastest at Laguna
19 July 2008
Fog and cool temperatures have greeted the MotoGP riders on the first day of testing for the United States Grand Prix. For Italian Andrea Dovizioso it was his debut on the Californian circuit of Laguna Seca, but during the free practice, he has been able to adapt to this unique circuit well, despite the twists, turns and undulations of the Californian track. During the first free practice session he did a total of 29 laps, with the JiR Team Scot rider showing his constant improvement around the circuit as he stayed in the provisional top ten. The goal for the team this morning was to gain precious knowledge and experience of the track, which they accomplished well.

Positive Day Of Testing For Dovizioso Despite The Rain
11 June 2008
Yesterday with the good weather and a full afternoon of work completed, the plan for today was to use the whole day to finish the test schedule. Unfortunately the variable weather has disturbed today’s programme with flashes of rain. Eventually the team needed to stop early because of the poor conditions on track. Andrea Dovizioso dedicated the few hours of dry conditions to test qualifying tyres, without looking for a quick time. Instead Andrea worked also on the electronic management of the engine to find an optimum balance on the bike. Eventually, the time recorded was in line with that done in qualifying for last Sunday’s Catalan Grand Prix. Andrea Dovizioso finished the test to return to London to prepare for the next round at Donington Park.

More Progress for Dovizioso After Catalan Race
10 June 2008
The JiR Team Scot squad, following on from yesterday’s Catalunya Grand Prix where they finished in fourth place, stayed on at the Spanish circuit to continue the development of their Honda RC212V. The Montmelo track was only accessible in the afternoon so rider Andrea Dovizioso used the track until the very last minute. At the end of the day the result was very positive and performance has been improved compared to the team’s performance in practice and the race. Both team and rider tomorrow will continue to test the new settings of the chassis and suspension and the new Michelin tyres.

The desert night was broken by the light of the floodlights that will make the night day at the Losail circuit in time for the first race of the 2008 season. For the first time in the World Championship’s history one race will be conducted at night and the next two nights of testing will help dispel any doubts and eliminate any problems before the first race here on 9th March. Testing starts at 7pm each night and finishes at midnight, local time.
