Dovizioso satisfied with close second

Andrea Dovizioso said he was very satisfied to be back on the MotoGP podium in Japan even though he was not able to convert his maiden pole in the series into a victory. With Dani Pedrosa breaking his collarbone in a Friday practice crash, Dovizioso was the factory Honda team's only representative at its home race.
