Memory lane: big teammate rivalries in the MotoGP™ era

As the saying goes in this phenomenal sport: your teammate is your first rival. And again, similar to Hayden and Pedrosa, it was a youthful, upcoming World Champion vs an experienced premier class star. Dovizioso had been in the factory Ducati ranks for the 2013 and 2014 seasons, before Iannone was promoted from Pramac in 2015. Two Italians on an Italian manufacturer, both fighting to be the first Ducati MotoGP™ race winner since Casey Stoner. Back in their 125cc and 250cc days, Dovizioso and Lorenzo were bitter rivals. That didn’t happen in 2017 as Dovizioso took the title race down to the final race against Marc Marquez. Could Lorenzo have moved out of the way of Dovizioso sooner in that finale?
