This weekend is set to be an emotional one as the 2021 season concludes for Andrea Dovizioso with the Gran Premio de la Comunitat Valenciana.
Dovi will be aiming to achieve another points-scoring finish, having finished in the top-15 in all but the first of his races with PETRONAS Yamaha SRT.
Circuit Ricardo Tormo is somewhere that has provided the Italian with some good memories in the past, including a win in 2018. Despite only joining the Malaysian squad towards the closing stages of the season, Andrea has made good progress and hopes to end 2021 on a high.
FP1 will get underway at 9.55am local time on Friday,while the 2021 season will come to a close with the 27-lap MotoGP race at 2pm local time on Sunday.
Andrea Dovizioso #04
“I’m hoping that this weekend we can continue adapting to the bike more, as we made some small steps forward last time out at Portimão. It will be important to maintain this and continue working in the right direction in Valencia, to end the season as best as we can. My main target is going to be to gain more confidence on the bike, as this is also very important for me to do before the end of the season. Although I’m enjoying riding again and gaining experience, I am happy to finish the season – hopefully with some more points – because I’m looking forward to starting the 2022 one”.
