The Italian star is a three-time runner-up in the premier class, after finishing second to Marc Márquez in 2017, 2018, and 2019.
Dovizioso came close to starting the new season with a win at the 2020 Spanish Grand Prix as he finished third.
Yamaha rider Fabio Quartararo emerged victoriously as he finished ahead of Dovizioso, who won the 125cc World Championship in 2004.

As a result, Dovizioso is placed third on the riders' standings behind Quartararo and Vinales.
The 34-year-old Dovizioso says he never gives up as he reflected on his performance in the opening race, Spanish Grand Prix.
“I didn’t give up and I was able to stay there when they (riders in front) dropped, so this gave me the possibility to arrive here (on the podium),” Dovizioso said on MotorSport Week.
“In the race I was struggling so much, three times during the race I almost gave up because I couldn’t maintain the rhythm I wanted.
"I didn’t have the speed and I managed to get the podium because we did a great job during the weekend and we improved a little bit, and this (improvement) was just enough.”
Dozivisio's Ducati are placed second on the Manufacturers' Championship standings behind leaders, Yamaha following Quartararo's win.
KTM are placed third on the standings after their rider Pol Espargaro finished sixth at the Spanish Grand Prix.
