There could not have been a more iconic and original stage than the Philharmonic Theater in Verona, where WithU Yamaha RNF MotoGP Racing unveiled the new livery of Dovi’s Yamaha YZR-M1 for the 2022 MotoGP World Championship.
A particular as well as exciting and unique atmosphere, which involved the vast virtual audience that followed the streaming on the social media channels of the team.
The red carpet was rolled out for premier class star Andrea Dovizioso. Dovi, three times runner-up in the MotoGP and 15-times race winner in the highest category, will enter his 20th full season across all categories of the World Championship, after he already made the switch to Yamaha in five rounds in 2021.
While the curtains of the picturesque Philharmonic theater in Verona have been closed, the stage opens for some action in less than a week’s time, where the freshly painted Yamaha YZR-M1 will be on track. Dovi will get the track from 5th to 6th February for the first official pre-season test in 2022 before the floodlights will be perfectly positioned for the first race of the year on 6th March at the Losail International Circuit.

“I’m really ready for this season! I’m training a lot in the gym, on my Motocross bike. I removed the plate on my collarbone early December in order to feel better for this year. Everything is going well. I’m so happy to start this full season after five races of testing last year, which was very important to start early with the Yamaha, which is different to what I used the last eight seasons. I’m convinced that this will help me a lot to approach the tests and the races in 2022 in a better way. I know more about the bike, about the engineers and the team in general. The new colors are adding to the amazing overall picture and I’m looking forward to the test in Malaysia. The last two years we couldn’t ride there, so I’m really happy to go to Sepang.”
