Dovizioso: Sepang is my favourite track

Andrea Dovizioso is savouring the Malaysian Grand Prix as the Sepang circuit is, in his opinion, the best on the current calendar. Currently holding the final top five championship position, the 23-year-old Honda rider hopes to fend off the charge of Tech 3's Colin Edwards in the final two races.

Having clinched his first Grand Prix victory at Donington this season, Dovizioso returns to Sepang with a hope of at least repeating his 2008 finishing position - a superb podium place for Team Scot Racing.

"I really look forward to racing in Malaysia as it is my favourite track and I have good memories there," he began. "Last year I had a strong race at Sepang and scored my first podium in MotoGP.

"I'm also confident about this weekend because, during the last part of the race in Australia, my feeling with the bike improved a lot and if we make a good start in practice on Friday I think we can go on to be competitive in the race.

Having stressed the importance of a good grid position, Andrea is preparing for the heat and humidity of the Kuala Lumpur venue. "Sepang is an excellent circuit and because of this I enjoy the Malaysian Grand Prix very much," he continued. "It's a complete track, with a good combination of fast and slow sections, and also the circuit is wide, which lets you try different lines. With a MotoGP bike, it's really fun and it'll be great to get back out there on Friday."
