The build-up to the 2019 championship will have many eyes on Marc Marquez bidding for a sixth MotoGP title. But sometimes the quiet ones tend to succeed and in this case that might just happen for Ducati's Andrea Dovizioso.

Dovizioso has been competing in the MotoGP series for over 10 years now since his first race at the Qatar Grand Prix in 2008. Since then there has been no MotoGP championships to celebrate with but last year saw Dovizioso come mighty close.

The Italian rider finished last season as the runner-up in a Ducati to Marquez -- it was always going to be tricky for Dovizioso to come on top of the Spaniard but he would have been deeply delighted to have beaten teammate, Jorge Lorenzo in the rider's standings.

Especially when you take into consideration that Lorenzo is a recent world champion and was known to be joining Marquez's team come 2019.
