After Andrea Dovizioso (Ducati Team) confirmed he won’t be on the 2021 MotoGP™ grid, we thought it would be nice to have a little trip down memory lane. Three more podiums followed in 2003 before Dovizioso ruled the 125cc world in 2004, picking up the World Championship with 11 podiums, five of those being victories. A step up to the 250cc class followed in 2005 and in his debut intermediate class season, Dovizioso claimed third overall thanks to five podiums. The scene of Dovizioso’s first MotoGP™ victory came on British soil, but that would be his only win with the Japanese manufacturer. 14 podiums and two years later, a manufacturer switch saw Dovizioso excel on the Tech3 Yamaha in 2012. A crazy 2020 campaign hasn’t gone how Dovizioso or Ducati would have hoped.
