Dovizioso also believes that the format will benefit the best riders in qualifying, who will be able to take advantage of those who are more methodical in Saturday’s races.
“In my opinion, it will put the riders under pressure,” he assessed. “However, this new regulation could also be an advantage for the fastest riders in qualifying, who, being able to start in the first positions, will be able to take advantage of the easier conditions that can benefit them in the race, which can lead them to earn more points than the more methodical riders” , he concluded.
