“Yes I’m happy because yesterday…to start P13 is a big problem,” said Dovizioso. “But I did a perfect start, I did the exact strategy that I had in my mind and it’s nice to feel that, and I put myself in a perfect position. But unfortunately I didn’t have the speed at the beginning to stay with the first group and that is the bad part. I lose the confidence, I almost crash at Turn 10 but I realise there was a wet patch in the middle of the track. I think that wet patch came out from under the asphalt, where they made the new asphalt, when I realise that I changed the line and my bike worked a bit better. I was so slow in the fast corners, that’s why I didn’t keep that speed, and that’s why I didn’t have the ability to get the podium unfortunately.”
