The Yamaha director has revealed from Silverstone, before the races of the British GP start, the signing of Andrea Dovizioso for the 2022 season in full and for the present from the first of the two appointments that will be in Misano, in three weekends.
The break with Maverick Viñales from Austria has brought movements that culminate in the comeback in MotoGP of the Italian rider, who had taken the 2021 season as a sabbatical, after deciding not to renew with Ducati last season.
“The plan is to have Morbidelli with the factory team and Dovizioso with the satellite since the Misano race and also in 2022 ”, said Lin Jarvis, the head of Yamaha in the GGPP.
What remains to be seen is which motorcycle Dovizioso will have, because the satellite team, still today Petronas, announced that They would have two B bikes and the Italian wanted an M1 as black leg as the officers’. In the absence of official confirmation, his partner, as this newspaper has learned, will be Darryn Binder, who will go up directly from Moto3 and will be paired with the three-time runner-up, who returns to Yamaha nine years later.
