Dovizioso sad to see loss of Donington
22 July 2009This weekend's British Grand Prix at Donington Park will be the final event to take place at the Derbyshire venue before the MotoGP circus heads the way of Silverstone from next season onwards. Andrea Dovizioso arrives in England both eager to prove his own worth and hoping to bid Donington a happy farewell.

"Unfortunately this year will be the last time that we race at Donington Park and it's a pity because the circuit is fascinating to ride," said the 23-year-old Italian. "I like it, in particular the first section which is very fast and, of course, the Craner Curves which plunge downhill and take your breath away every time your ride them. Last year I had a good race at Donington and I have always liked the track."

Despite injuries being sustained for team-mate Dani Pedrosa this year, Andrea lies in 36 points' fall of the Spaniard and currently sixth in the championship standings. "We arrive this time after two difficult races where I had the pace to fight with the leaders but, for different reasons, we didn't get the results.
"Our motivation is high and everybody in the team is working hard. Honda is working hard too and we've had machine updates recently which are moving us in the right direction, so I arrive in Britain determined to get a good result at out last visit to Donington and to prove our real potential."
