Andrea Dovizioso is set to level Valentino Rossi’s record of 230 consecutive GP starts at the Sachsenring.
MotoGP Ducati rider Andrea Dovizioso is expected to start his 230th consecutive Grand Prix at the Sachsenring in Germany on July 12 and hopefully he could equal Valentino Rossi's record.
Rossi did not miss a race from making
his Grand Prix debut at the Malaysian GP in 1996 until he did not start
the Italian GP at Mugello in 2010 after crashing in practice and
breaking his right leg.
Andrea Dovizioso made his GP debut in the 125cc
class as a wild-card at Mugello in 2001, before joining the grand prix
series as a full-time rider at the opening race of 2002 at Suzuka in
Japan; Dovizioso has not missed a GP start since the 2002 Suzuka race in Japan.
