“In the end for sure we are working and we trying to improve, but the Honda has the potential that only you need to know. Where you take that potential, how to manage that potential and it’s a bike that really difficult to take all the profit from the bike. So for sure all bikes have weak points, Honda has a weak point like all manufacturers but I think in the end this year, with small changes like Andrea (Dovizioso) says, small details make the difference because all the bikes are working really good in a different way, in different points of the tracks but all the bikes are so competitive. The Honda has the potential, the only thing we need is to understand a bit more, to take the profit of the potential and I’m sure we can be fast from now until the end of the season.”

It was a difficult week for Ducati, with Dovi’s underwhelming race form since his Austrian GP masterclass, Pecco Bagnaia’s (Pramac Racing) heartbreaking crash in the second GP in Misano which cost him a maiden premier class victory, Jack Miller’s (Pramac Racing) early retirement due to a freak incident involving Quartararo’s visor tear-off and Danilo Petrucci’s (Ducati Team) inconsistency on race day – all compounding a below-par return in Round 7. However, with the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya next up on the list, it provides a fresh set of challenges and headaches for teams and riders, but more importantly, an opportunity for Ducati.

Görbe, meanwhile, is another who’s won a race and will want to do so again after late heartbreak at the Lausitzring. He’s also got Jakub Gurecky (JRT of Automotodrom Brno) not so far off him. The Czech rider had two technical problems and didn’t score in Round 1, but he bounced back with a third place and a win so he’ll likely be in the front group once again. In an almost mirror image of Gurecky’s bad luck, Romanian Jacopo Hosciuc (Hos Racing Team) was second and fourth in Round 1 before his issues hit at the Laustizring. He’s now down in eighth overall in a close group in the standings, but his pace so far says he should be in the fight for the podium once again.
