Eight months after the start of the championship season, which kicked off at the Losail circuit in Qatar in March, the MotoGP teams and riders have arrived in Spain for the nineteenth and final round of the season, the Gran Premio de la Comunitat Valenciana, which is held every year at the Ricardo Tormo circuit in Cheste, on the outskirts of Valencia. In any case has been another positive year for Ducati with six wins to its name — three for each rider — together with four seconds and two thirds.
Dovizioso has ten starts to his name at Valencia in MotoGP, with his best result being a third place in , while last year the Italian rider crashed six laps from the end while in third place. Jorge Lorenzo has taken part in nine editions of the Valencia GP, winning four of them and demonstrating total supremacy in and The Italian rider has taken part in five Valencia GPs in the MotoGP category, scoring a best result of fifth in , while the year before Michele was able to win in Moto2.
Pirro, who has taken part in just two races this season, is in twenty-seventh place with 1 point. The Valencia weekend programme gets underway on Friday morning with the first free practice session at Now at Valencia we come up against a track where in the past we have struggled quite a bit: this year however I expect us to be fast and the race will also be an important test to understand in which areas we have to improve to be more competitive next year.
For sure our fans, who always come out in force at Cheste, will also help to make this weekend special. The track has several different configurations, with varying lengths, and all of them lap in a counter-clockwise direction. Although the track itself is relatively tight and compact, the massive grandstands all around can contain more than , spectators. The circuit layout helps to create a unique atmosphere, both for the riders and the enthusiastic Spanish fans, who always fill the stadium for the last GP of the season.

Ducati is a strong and solid company that has become big enough to allow important investments for the future. We are in a fantastic period: the digital revolution and the world of social media are changing all of our lives and Ducati wants to be an agent of this change, all the time preserving its own values. Thanks to all of the partners who are by our side for this new MotoGP adventure, and all the best to Ducati Corse for a with Ducati as protagonist.
I believe that both Ducati Team riders, Andrea Dovizioso and Jorge Lorenzo, are true added value for us and that both of them can aim for the world title in In any case we will try and do everything possible to make a truly memorable year for us and for all the Ducatisti. Our bike still had certain characteristics that made life difficult on several tracks and for , we have focussed on improving these aspects because we must always be in a position to fight for the podium, at every circuit.
After finishing runner-up with six wins in , naturally our objective can be nothing less than fight to win the championship, but we must remain with our feet firmly on the ground because we know that each year brings with it something different. Andrea and the Desmosedici GP demonstrated that we have everything in place to try and win the world championship, and I think that I have the strength and the experience necessary to fight together with him to achieve this aim.
You can follow any responses to this entry through the RSS 2. Both comments and pings are currently closed. Ducati has stated that they would like to sign both Lorenzo and Dovisioso for early this season, or even before the races start. Regardless of what some fans may think, there are no big rifts in the Ducati camp.
Lorenzo has help transform Dovi from a good rider into a winner, with the mind and heart of a champion. Ducati has given Lorenzo a racing home and family after Yamaha turned their back on him. Both Lorenzo and Dovi and Stoner have helped Ducati go from also-ran to championship contender once again. How do you figure Yamaha turned their back on him?
Quite the opposite. He simply decided to go off and take the Crazy Money Ducati was offering him. Fact is, Lorenzo turned his back on Yamaha. As a result, he suffered through the first win-less season of his MotoGP career. It is dominated by one country — Spain. It has become a skinny little boys club. Real men need not apply. And as impressive as it appears to the gullible, the bikes are now partly controlled by computers. It no longer is the great sport it was.
MotoGp is dominated by 2 countries, Spain and Italy because those two countries love and support motorcycle road racing. They each have national programs that develop riders from a very young age, unlike most coutries including the U. Their racing champions are heroes known to practically every man woman and child in their respective contries.
Whereas our national sports heroes play baseball, football and basketball.
