New Ducati's rider Andrea Dovizioso arrived at the Wrooom 2013, the traditional Press Ski Meeting that takes place at Madonna di Campiglio. On his press conference to the media, Dovizioso talked a lot about the main goal on Ducati.
Ducati needs to reduce the gap to the other factory team, Yamaha and Honda. It's difficult but not impossible. Dovizioso said that the first year will be challenging and he should work harder.
Andrea Dovizioso
"It's an honour to be here at Wrooom. It's all organized perfectly, and it's a great opportunity to get to know the Ducati staff better and meet many new friends. I was convinced to join Ducati in my first meetings with Filippo Preziosi because he made it clear that there are interesting plans for the future and that we can start to build something important together. We have the help of budget, technology and passion, all the ingredients necessary to attain our goals. Obviously, it will be up to us, the technicians and riders, to take the right path on where to improve the bike. If we work well, I'm certain that it will be possible in the future to fight for wins and the title. The competition is very strong, but I believe we can achieve this aim. It won't happen right away, but we can do it. There's no magic wand, so we have to-and we want to-keep our feet on the ground and work methodically. If it's possible to achieve good results, I'm sure that we will. The first year will be challenging, but we mustn't allow ourselves to be pressured to immediately get good results."
