Andrea Dovizioso Biography
Andrea Dovizioso starts his third campaign as a Honda factory team rider in 2011, and since his introduction to the premier class in 2008 (when he rode a satellite Honda and placed fifth overall) the Italian has proven himself to be a capable challenger to the leading riders of the elite category. A victory (Donington 2009) and seven podiums throughout the 2010 campaign have been signposts of Dovizioso’s constant improvement, one which he will be determined to take a step further in 2011 whilst on the same team as two riders he will view as rivals to his ambition; Dani Pedrosa and Casey Stoner.

The former 125cc World Champion (2004) and twice 250cc runner-up (2006 and 2007) has been a consistent top-five challenger during his premier class tenure, and in 2011 will certainly be one of the riders expected to make an impact at the top end of the World Championship.
