MOTOGP » Top ten MotoGP stars: Andrea Dovizioso [4]

crash.net has no much to say on dovizioso who only 1 time fought for a position and impressively it was a podium.

I consider him like Pedrosa or Massa in f1 who can be quik but without killer instinct

The remaining are
Rossi
Stoner
Lorenzo and the last on bottom is Melandri preceded by west

"dovizioso who only 1 time fought for a position"

Really? I though Dovizioso was one of the most aggressive riders in the series! I'm not sure you watched the same races as me loeb...

I think loeb is just upset that his boy got beaten by Dovi, on an inferior machine.

Done a quick bit of research - there was only one GP this season where Dovizioso lost places from the start to the finish - in Germany, where he started 4th and finished 5th. Throughout the other 17 races he made up a total of 59 places. Hardly the mark of a man who "only fought one time for position" eh?

its a fair position for dovi considering the rookie year he has had, most impressive.

Thoroughly deserved, a good honest no nonsense rider.

Sorry, i was meaning a very good and long fight like the one he did with Hayden for a 3rd place ....or thje ones we are used to for Stoner/Rossi esp in Laguna seca.

Other wise i agree withb u guys that he 's been impressively consistent and made a lot of places and i'm sure Dani and Massa also did.

So i meant good and big fights man to man (Rossi/Stoner.....Hayden /dovi(1time))

Absolutely brilliant achievement of Dovi with inferior material in contrast to other strong riders like Hayden on a factory bike. And Dovi fought a lot in this season, if he had not, he wouldn't have finished 5th in the WC.

i think that if you vote on who surprised you the most this year Dovi should have been second
Rossi first coz to win a championship after two years in the dry and to do it in such a convincing way on a new tire with no data is really impressive.
every one expected Stoner to be one of two three top Dogs this year the same for Danni, lorenzo on the best bike out there with full technical moral and more support was always going to do well.
but Dovi in his first year on a year+ old bike with the second best tires to do so well is really really impressive, to say all this bull about not aggressive enough? look what aggression brought JT this year, NOT MUCH!!!
he will be a big threat next year

A very fast, smooth rider who will be well suited to moto gp, I expect to see him finish ahead of everybodies hero Nicky this year!
