Taking his second MotoGP win in Sepang in 2016, 2004 125 World Champion Andrea Dovizioso has been in MotoGP since an incredible rookie season in 2008, where he was top independent team rider and fifth overall. His first victory came at Donington in 2009 when riding for Repsol Honda, before the Italian moved to the Ducati Team following a stint with Monster Yamaha Tech 3. A key part of Ducati’s journey back to the top, ‘DesmoDovi’ is one of the hardest to overtake on the brakes – and one of the cleanest competitors in battle. After long seasons of hard work saw the bike more and more competitive and a consistent frontrunner, 2017 saw the Italian challenge for the World Championship down to the wire in Valencia after a stunning six wins across the season. For 2018, he’ll want to hit the ground running and take Ducati to the top.
