Dovizioso impressed in the DTM Series race

Andrea Dovizioso took advantage of the break between MotoGP class races to race on four wheels. In Misano, Italy, a Ducati racer sat behind the wheel of an Audi car of the German DTM touring car series and impressed with twelfth place in the race. Dovi finished the race, which he started in fifteenth place, seven seconds behind eleventh-placed Pietro Fittipaldi, who is also an Audi racer.

The race was won by two-time DTM series champion Marco Wittmann, who drove a single lap in the qualifiers and started the race in 18th place. The BMW racer picked a risky tactic and made the obligatory stop at the end of the first lap, after which he had to watch his tires for the remaining 38 laps. He was helped a bit by a safety car, which calmed the race by three laps. Rene Rast took second place with just over eight seconds behind. The third was Loic Duval.
