Andrea Dovizioso Still Competitive With Fifth in Indianapolis
13 September 2008
The last round of free practice for the Indianapolis Grand Prix in the MotoGP class has confirmed Andrea Dovizioso competitive even on a dry track. Despite forecasts that announced intense rain, the sky above the circuit remained dry. The track, wet from rain overnight, slowly dried and allowed the JiR Team Scot rider to finally get out on a track with dry weather tyres. During the first half of the session with grooved tyres and a wet track, Dovi was up at the front and continued to occupy the top positions until the end of the session. In an hour, which saw the first nine riders covered by a single second, the fifth time by Andrea is a good sign for the qualifying session, which will be held later this afternoon and is scheduled to finish at 15.00hrs local time.
