Andrea Dovizioso: “It was a bit strange, I’ve never come to the race on a bike! And on the really nice Multistrada. The weather wasn’t so great for us, but it was a really nice experience, and to be here in Mugello already the day before and with the other Italian riders. Normally I come the day after.”

The Italian then spoke about a milestone he hits this weekend – 300 Grands Prix.

“300 is a big number! I’m really happy to be in Mugello at this moment in the Championship because it’s for sure our good track, and we need a good result. I think after a good result in Le Mans with three Ducatis, we can be really competitive here to fight with Marc. For sure he’ll really want to win here in Mugello but I think we have every chance to fight with him and all the other riders.”

Danilo Petrucci: “It’s always very nice, every year I arrive at Mugello in a different way! Last year in a Lamborghini, this year on the Multistrada. It was very nice, I’d never tried the bike and we went on a great road coming here, had a very good lunch and I’m really looking forward to see what’s going on on Friday.

“It’s always nice for an Italian rider to ride in Mugello, especially with the Ducati and for me it’s the first year with factory colours. It’s always a good race for us and we want to have a good weekend, we arrive from Le Mans and a really good race for us. But we want to get on the top step. It’ll be very difficult but we’re at home.”
