Andrea Dovizioso has reiterated that, while he continues to seek a MotoGP return, it would only be with 'proj𝓀ects of a certain type' and not 'at all costs'.

The 15-time MotoGP race winner is currently facing at least a⛦ season out of the sport, after splitting from Ducati and having turned down the chance to join Aprilia for 2021.

"I'm open, but at the moment I'm not looking for a place to return at all costs," Dovizioso told . "I'm only interested in projects of a certain type, so if there is a chance to return to MotoGP in 2021 or 2022, I'll be the first to be happy to talk, otherwisꦬe ther🥃e is no problem."

The only potential pꦕroject that would seem to fit the bill for Dovi this season is if Repsol Honda continues to need a replacement for injured six-time champion Marc Marquez.

Factory test rider Stefan Bradl again looks first-in-line if Marquez is missing, but Dovizioso's manager recently indicated that the #4 would be ready and willing to take part in the official Qatar test for HRC as a kind ༺of evaluation.

"It depends on what they propose," Dovizioso said, when asked how he would respond🏅 to a call from Honda. "There must be a project, a desire to try together.

"If there should be an idea of ​​this 🦂type, maybe f🧔or 2022, I'll be the first to be happy.

"I'm used to🦂 doing things well, so if there is the intention and the desire on the part of both, we can talk about it.

"As I sai🍸d, I'm not just trying to r🍃ace in MotoGP, otherwise I could have done it in another way," he added, presumably referring to the Aprilia offer.
