Yamaha MotoGP rider Andrea Dovizioso will retire after the upcoming Gran Premio di San Marino e della Riviera di Rimini. Dovizioso and Yamaha have maintained a warm relationship since he completed a successful season with the Tech3 Yamaha satellite team in 2012, resulting in six third places and fourth place in the final standings. “Unfortunately, in recent years MotoGP has changed profoundly,” Dovizioso said. “The situation is very different since then: I have never felt comfortable with the bike, and I have not been able to make the most of its potential despite the precious and continuous help from the team and the whole of Yamaha.
