Italian Ducati rider Andrea
Dovizioso won a thrilling dual with reigning champion Marc
Marquez to clinch the season-opening MotoGP race in Qatar on
Sunday.
Italy's nine-time world champion Valentino Rossi, who has
just signed a two-year contract extension with Yamaha, came
third.
"It was a perfect race, perfect weekend," Dovizioso said.
