Despite having secured a win in Spielberg, Dovizioso admits he is still "not comfortable" going to other tracks as he is not fully on top of his problems in cornering.
"Well, I think next round, if it will be dry, it will be more difficult because I think the competitors can be a bit stronger because in the race you can see a lot of things," Dovizioso said.
"Especially [Alex] Rins, if he didn't crash I think it was very difficult to beat him. "But I couldn't see him in the race because he crashed immediately.
"But about the future, still I'm not comfortable 100% because on the braking I feel much better and really good, but in the middle of the corner, the first part of the exit, I'm still not that good - and we need that to be consistent and strong in other tracks."
Yahama are sitting at the top of Manufacturers' Championship standings - 14 points above their closest rivals, Ducati.
Ducati and KTM are placed second and third respectively on the standings after four races.
