Andrea Dovizioso raced for Ducati Team in 2018 and finished second in the championship behind Marc Marquez. The suit is a replica inspired by that season, offered in the red-and-white Ducati design for track days and sport riding.
What the 2018 Season Looked Like
Dovizioso won four races in 2018 but lost points to crashes at Le Mans and Catalunya, which kept the title with Marquez, as the Cycle News season review reports. The suit carries the red-and-white 2018 colors listed on the product page and is a replica inspired by his gear, with no link to the team.
Construction Details
The product page lists 1.2-1.3 mm drum-dyed milled cowhide, with Monaco or kangaroo leather as upgrades. Seams are double and triple stitched with high-strength nylon thread, and YKK semi auto-lock zippers close the front, cuffs and calves. Cordura reinforcement appears at the sleeves, crotch and calves, and accordion stretch panels sit at the lower back and knees.
Armor Listed
- Removable dual-density armor at the shoulders, elbows, knees and hips, listed under EN 1621-1:2012 at Level 2
- A removable spine protector that the listing describes as compatible with EN 1621-2; the listing does not state that it is certified to it
- TPU-reinforced metal protectors and replaceable TPU knee sliders
Armor is only as useful as its position, which is why measured sizing matters on a race suit.
One-Piece or Two-Piece
The listing offers a one-piece suit or a two-piece with a snap-button waist closure. Linings are polyester mesh, with thermal lining as an option, and riders can add speed hump and perforation choices to suit climate and riding style.
Race suits are cut close to the body, with pre-curved sleeves set for the riding position, so measurements should be taken carefully and checked against the size guide before ordering. A suit that fits correctly keeps the armor over the joints it is meant to cover.
