[kropotkin thinks...] - Andrea Dovizioso To Move To Monster Tech 3 Yamaha For 2012
If you enjoyed reading this article, please click here to view it on Kropotkin's site, MotoGP Matters.
----------------- One of the larger pieces still remaining of the 2012 MotoGP puzzle has just dropped into place. According to reports from both Speedweek and GPOne.com, Andrea Dovizioso has signed a one-year deal to race with Herve Poncharal's Monster Tech 3 Yamaha for 2012, despite having an offer to ride a factory-spec Honda RC213V in Lucio Cecchinello's LCR Honda squad. The move sees Dovizioso abandon Honda for the first time in his Grand Prix career. The Italian has ridden a Honda since his days in the 125cc class, moving up to 250s and then finally to MotoGP with the Japanese giant, winning the 2004 125cc World Championship for HRC. But Dovizioso had been falling out of grace with HRC in the past couple of years, with the Italian not making the transition to a regular winner aboard the Honda RC212V. His insistence on remaining inside the Repsol Honda team when the factory squad signed Casey Stoner alongside Dani Pedrosa put him even further out of favor, a situation that was underlined when Dovizioso's arch rival Marco Simoncelli was the first rider to be offered a factory contract and a factory RC213V for 2012. Despite the offer of a factory bike at LCR Honda, Dovizioso felt he had more options with Tech 3.
