Andrea Dovizioso returns to MotoGP, a stroke of Yamaha genius or a gamble?

As already announced, the Misano race weekend on 17-19 September will see Andrea Dovizioso get back on a MotoGP bike after a year’s absence. The Italian, who will also take part in the 2022 championship with Yamaha, or rather Petronas, thus ends what he referred to as a sabbatical.

After flirting with Aprilia and completing three days of testing, Dovizioso decided to accept the offer from Yamaha. It will be interesting to see to what extent this partnership can benefit a returning rider like Dovizioso and a team that has been having an extremely difficult season until now.

Dovizioso-Yamaha, who benefits?
