The Italian said: “Misano is one of two home races for us, so there will be a lot of fans and a very special atmosphere, as is always the case when we race in Italy. The track is challenging and difficult, but I like it a lot. It has some really fun sections, such as the exit from the Tramonto corner and the big, fast corners after the back straight. We’ll have to work well in the practice sessions in order to fight and to try and do a nice race.”
The multiple World Champion, who is leaving Ducati to return to the Yamaha Factory Team at the end of this season, currently lies eighth in the Riders Championship.
