Dovizioso is ready to face the last round of the 2020 MotoGP season at the Autódromo Internacional do Algarve in Portimão and last race together with Ducati after eight seasons
Andrea Dovizioso is ready to get back on track this weekend for the fourteenth and final round of the 2020 season. For the Ducati Team rider, this will not be his very first experience on the Portuguese track as he took part last October in a day of testing to familiarize with the circuit layout on a Ducati Superleggera V4 machine.
The Portuguese GP will be Dovizioso’s last race together with Ducati after eight seasons which saw him collecting 14 victories, 40 podiums and six pole positions, and ending as runner-up in the Championship with the Italian squad in MotoGP for three consecutive years in 2017, 2018 and 2019. Dovizioso, who currently sits sixth in the overall standings on equal points with Quartararo fifth, still has a chance to fight for second and third place in the Championship and will aim to achieve this goal in the last round of the season.

“I am eager to get back on track this weekend in Portimão. Even though it will be tough, we can still challenge for second or third place in the championship, and it would be great to be able to end my adventure with Ducati and such a difficult season by achieving this goal. It will be my last race on the Desmosedici GP bike, and it will certainly be touching. We will race on a new circuit for MotoGP, and this will make the weekend even more special. I hope it will be fun!”
