Andrea Dovizioso is optimistic about a new chassis which will be used from this weekend at Le Mans onwards. The Honda rider has enjoyed a strong start to the season, registering third and sixth places in Qatar and Spain, although the Italian now hopes to begin challenging for race wins on a consistent basis.
After enjoying a surprise podium result at the first race of the season, Dovizioso was unable to run at the front in Round 2 although, currently fourth in the championship, he hopes to witness a marked improvement as he makes use of the new chassis which was run for the first time in the post-race test session at Jerez.
"I'm looking forward to racing at Le Mans this weekend," Andrea began. "It's a circuit that I like and where I always tend to get good results, so I'm confident for this race.
"After the improvements we found during the Monday test in Jerez, I think we will be very competitive.
"I'm very positive about our potential. Last year I fought for the podium and I lost out on the very last lap, so my motivation is high for this race. I'm confident we can fight with the front riders this year."
