Dovizioso is coming back to MotoGP, he is already expected to compete for the Petronas Yamaha team at Misano.

After the split between Maverick Vinales and Yamaha, there was a free place in MotoGP. Franco Morbidelli, who previously rode for Petronas, is to get this, so he moves up to the Yamaha factory team. The place at Petronas is then to take over Dovizioso.

This means that Andrea Dovizioso will become Valentino Rossi’s team partner. Dovi is also to compete for Petronas in 2022.

– Yamaha Motorsport boss Lin Jarvis confirmed all this to MotoGP.com. However, the corresponding contracts have yet to be concluded.
