Assen last weekend, Laguna Seca this for the MotoGP riders as the circuit readies itself for Round 8 of 17 in the 2009 World Championship. "I really look forward to the race at Laguna Seca," said Honda rider Dovizioso. "The track itself and the whole atmosphere makes coming to Laguna a fascinating experience; last year was the first time that I had raced in the United States and I was impressed by the track - some parts are quite dangerous and very different to the European standard of race tracks that we are used to, but the whole atmosphere is incredible and I like it a lot."
Two points ahead of team-mate Dani Pedrosa, the Italian currently leads the charge for the Repsol-sponsored team and is looking to make amends after falling in the Netherlands. "I'm confident that we can have a good race here," Andrea continued. "Last year I had a good battle and finished 4th, which I was pleased with. I feel as though I've come fourth enough times this year though (three), so I hope to make the step up; at each race we're getting closer to the leading riders but we're still not close enough yet, so we need to work hard to get the speed and consistency we need."
