Rider: Andrea Dovizioso
Nickname: Dovi

Machine: Honda RC212V (#4)

The young Italian racer Andrea Dovizioso has quickly became a rising star on the MotoGP stage. Like most of his collegues Andrea started riding at a young age. After being introduced to mini-moto at age four he went on to win two national championships in short order. At 14 he won the 2000 Aprilia Challenge at Misano. The following year he won both the Italian and European 125cc Championships.

At 16 years of age, when most people are learning how to drive on four wheels, Dovizioso was shooting up through the 125cc World Championship. Riding for Team Scot Honda he won the 125cc world Championship in 2004 with five victories and six other podium finishes. In 2005, Team Scot Honda moved Dovizioso into the 250cc World Championship where he won the Rookie of the Year award for his five podiums and overall third-place finish in the Championship. The next two years saw Dovizioso challenge for the championship, but both times he settled for 2nd to current MotoGP rider Jorge Lorenzo.

In September 2007, Dovizioso announced that he would make the move to MotoGP with his existing team in 2008. Dovizioso's rookie year was a huge success considering the depth of talent in the field. He notably passed Valentino Rossi on the last lap of the Qatar season opener to take fourth. He proceeded to be one of Honda's most consistent riders, placing 4th and 5th on several occasions, and achieving a 3rd place podium finish at the Malasia's Sepang GP. He finished fifth overall, making him the highest placing privateer of the 2008 MotoGP champion. It was no surprise that the factory Repsol Honda team snatched the young Italian for their 2009 campaign.
