About this Image: Andrea Dovizioso was pleased with his fourth place in the MotoGP Portugal. "After a difficult weekend, we had a good race with the best lap at the end and a good strategy to overtake Valentino," said Andrea. "I was riding at the limit during the whole race and Valentino was stronger in 2-3 points so it was difficult to overtake him. I pushed hard to keep contact with him and at the very last lap I tried to overtake him at turn 10, even if I knew that it’s a difficult corner to overtake. Then at the very last long corner I tried to overtake him inside, Vale closed the door so I tried to exit faster than him, I made it and I could overtake him in the straight with the draft. I’m happy of this result but we are still too far from the first rider."
