Dovizioso finished less than 0.5s away from third spot and he is confident that in wet or dry conditions he will be able to challenge for a fourth successive front row start at the race. Dovizioso third fastest on a morning wet track, and sixth at the mixed condition second practice 2.05.448.
Dovizioso said, "This morning it was good to get some more time in the wet to work on the rain setting that we found in Le Mans. The bike worked well in France and it was positive again this morning to finish third. Although it was dry this afternoon the conditions were really tricky and not a lot of fun. It was so windy and that made it very difficult to control the bike."
He continue, "I am reasonably happy to be in sixth but we have some margin to improve and I am still close to the top three. That is the positive but we have to wait and see what will happen with the weather. It looks like more rain is coming but we are ready for anything and confident in the wet or dry of building on the podium achieved at the last race in Catalunya."
