Dovizioso happy with new developments

Andrea Dovizioso, as well as the other riders, did some tests at Brno on Monday. The tests were positives, in fact they gave some great advances for Dovizioso and he hopes that this progress will help him at Indianapolis.

Unfortunately Andrea Dovizioso crashed during the race on Sunday but he worked really hard during the tests on Monday. " We tested the new Ohlins front forks and shock for next year and we will take a look at the data collected from those runs to verify the results. We also tested this year's Ohlins compnents with modified settings, and the feeling was good so we'll take those to the next race at Indianapolis," Dovizioso said after the tests.

"We made some adjustments to the front set-up which has improved the stability. Our plan was also to test some modifications to the electronic controls and we started this, but the rain interrupted us so we didn't get through the full programme. Still, we did some valuable work today which should help us at the upcoming races. Everything we tried we will use at Indy."

Dovizioso is now fourth in theWorld Championship at only four points from Casey Stoner.
