Italian dirt bike fan Andrea Dovizioso may be more used to 200mph racing on his factory Ducati but loves the dirt. Check out his Californian MX adventure before the American MotoGP round.

The factory Ducati MotoGP ace crashed and broke his collarbone while racing in a regional Italian championship motocross race in Faenza a few weeks ago. He was given special permission to race the event in a bid to get some race time under his belt before the MotoGP season started. He finished third in the opener at Jerez in Spain on Sunday.
