Andrea Dovizioso Ducati MotoGP 2019 Leathers: Replica Suit Guide

Andrea Dovizioso finished the 2019 MotoGP season as runner-up to Marc Marquez, riding for the Ducati factory team. The Andrea Dovizioso Ducati MotoGP 2019 drakt is a replica inspired by the suit he wore that year. This guide covers the season, the construction and protection listed on the product page, and the options available for riders who want the livery on the road or at track days.

Andrea Dovizioso and the 2019 Season

Dovizioso raced with the number 04 and won at Qatar for the second year in a row in 2019. He also won in Austria, with an overtake at the final corner on Marc Marquez, and finished second in the standings. He retired from MotoGP after the San Marino Grand Prix in September 2022. Riders who follow his career can browse the Andrea Dovizioso collection for related gear.

Leather and Construction

The product page lists drum-dyed, milled cowhide leather 1.2 to 1.3 mm thick, with Monaco and kangaroo leather as upgrades. The rest of the construction is described as follows:

• Reinforcement: Cordura panels at the sleeves, crotch and calves, and accordion stretch panels at the lower back and knees.
• Lining: a polyester mesh interior, with removable and thermal removable lining options.
• Fit details: pre-curved sleeves, soft neoprene cuffs and collar, and Velcro-reinforced adjustment straps at the neck, cuffs and calves.
• Hardware: YKK semi auto-lock coil zippers at the front, cuffs and calves, and one inner mesh chest pocket.

Protection Listed on the Product Page

The Dovizioso Ducati MotoGP 2019 suit lists removable dual-density armor at the shoulders, elbows, knees and hips to EN 1621-1:2012 Level 2, plus a removable spine protector compatible with EN 1621-2. It also has external TPU-reinforced metal protectors, replaceable TPU knee sliders and double and triple safety stitching at critical seams.

EN 1621-1 defines two levels. According to Wikipedia, a Level 1 limb protector must keep the mean transmitted force below 35 kN in the standard impact test and a Level 2 protector below 20 kN. Armor is tested separately from the suit, and the product page does not state an EN 17092 class for the suit as a whole.

Options and Fit

The suit is hand-stitched and made to order, as a one-piece or a two-piece. Riders can choose a standard, ventilated or hydro speed hump, chest, front or full perforation, and an extra knee slider. A suit only does its job when the armor sits over the joints, so measuring the shoulder width, inseam and torso length carefully is more important than choosing a size by label. Matching gloves and boots are listed as available.

One-Piece or Two-Piece

A one-piece suit has no waist join, which keeps the leather smooth across the back in a racing tuck and is the usual choice for track use. A two-piece suit splits into a jacket and pants joined by a zipper, which makes it easier to put on, to carry and to mix with separate gear. Riders who use the suit mainly on the road, or who want to wear only the jacket at times, often prefer the two-piece version.

Leather also needs a short break-in period. New race leather is stiff at the elbows, knees and neck, and it softens as it is worn. For that reason it helps to wear the suit for a few short sessions before a full track day, so that any pressure points show up early and can be corrected through the adjustment straps.

The Ducati 2019 Livery

The colors follow Dovizioso's 2019 Ducati design in grey and red. Riders comparing other Ducati designs can look at the Ducati two piece leathers or add the Ducati Corse leather gloves to complete a matching set.
