'No magic wand' for immediate results, warns Dovizioso

Ducati MotoGP new-boy Andrea Dovizioso has warned there will be no magic wand to wave in 2013 and if the team is to produce better results, it will be through medthodical hard work.

Speaking at the annual Wroom bunfight in Madonna di Campiglio, Dovizioso said he believed that with the right work ethic, and no pressure from above, podiums and wins are possible in the future - even though technical director Filippo Prezioso, who persuaded the Italian to switch from Yamaha has been given the Spanish archer.

"I was convinced to join Ducati in my first meetings with Filippo Preziosi because he made it clear that there are interesting plans for the future and that we can start to build something important together. We have the help of budget, technology and passion, all the ingredients necessary to attain our goals. Obviously, it will be up to us, the technicians and riders, to take the right path on where to improve the bike," said Dovizioso.

"If we work well, I’m certain that it will be possible in the future to fight for wins and the title. The competition is very strong, but I believe we can achieve this aim. It won’t happen right away, but we can do it. There’s no magic wand, so we have to — and we want to — keep our feet on the ground and work methodically. If it’s possible to achieve good results, I’m sure that we will. The first year will be challenging, but we mustn’t allow ourselves to be pressured to immediately get good results.”
