It was a difficult race today at the MotorLand circuit for the two riders of the Ducati Team, as Andrea Dovizioso and Michele Pirro finished the Aragón GP in eleventh and twelfth place respectively.
After a positive morning warm-up, in which he finished fourth, Dovizioso got a good start away from the second row and was scrapping in amongst the leading group in the early laps.
Unfortunately the Italian started to suffer a drop in front tyre grip and then a worsening vibration on his Desmosedici GP, so had to slow his pace. In the last few laps he lost several positions and finished the fourteenth round of the season in eleventh place.
Michele Pirro, who finished his warm-up in an encouraging ninth place, was unable to make a good start and he crossed the line at the end of the opening lap in fifteenth place. The Italian then also began to suffer an unusual vibration with his bike but he managed to gain a few positions to finish his race in twelfth place.
