Andrea Dovizioso did 73 laps on the third and final day of testing at Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit in the second official test of the year, ending the three days P7 on combined timesheets with a 1:29.248 – just ahead of new teammate Jorge Lorenzo.

DesmoDovi is concentrating on testing for 2017 as Lorenzo focuses on adaptation, and the Italian was positive about the workload completed Down Under – but adamant there’s still much more to be done when MotoGP gets back on track in Qatar.

“During these three days at Phillip Island we’ve been able to do a lot of work, gathering a lot of important information." Said the Malaysian Grand Prix winner.

"We worked a lot on the setup and some things with the chassis, making the feeling even better. We can say it was a good test: I’m especially happy with having been able to do the time at the right time."

However I’m not completely satisfied because we’ve not been able to improve everything on the bike, and there’s still a lot of work to do." He added.
