Andrea Dovizioso won the first MotoGP race of the 2019 season on Sunday, as he took the chequered flag ahead of defending world champion Marc Marquez and Cal Crutchlow on Sunday at the Qatar Grand Prix.
The Italian Ducati rider led for the majority of the 22 laps in an exciting race under the floodlights at the Losail International Circuit.
A tightly contested season opener saw five riders in contention for the win heading into the final lap, with Dovizioso and Marquez tussling for victory and the Italian just coming out on top of the 2019 MotoGP season opening race.
Elsewhere on track, there were contrasting fortunes for polesitter Maverick Vinales and the man who qualified down in 14th, Valentino Rossi.
Vinales sank like a stone from the front row early on in the race, only managing P7, while Rossi claimed P5.
