Austrian GP: Ducati has an important role
Lorenzo is the first of the pursuers of Marquez and he used the last holidays to relax himself. “During this holidays, I’m relaxing and training. It’s important for us to come back strong. We try to get closer to Ducati, which here are strong here. It’s not easy, but reacting in difficult times is the goal to try to get back among the leaders. Changing the curve 10? All right, it is important to improve security.” said the Yamaha rider. Then the role of Ducati. “They could take away points to Marquez here, but it’s not easy. It is better to think about making our race without thinking too much about what they’re going to do another“.
