I reckon 800 to 1000cc is a pretty big change :roll:

I reckon it will be HUGELY changed. Fact is that, despite Rossi's best hopes, the GP11 is still proving to be a bike that is Casey-friendly, but not Rossi-friendly. The GP12 will be a quasi-Yamaha, just like Ducati said they'd never build.

feel free to correct, but I think philbo meant that they'll concentrate their development on the gp12 and not bother much with the '11 bike, since its looking that to get the '11 up to front runner pace is gonna take quite a leap.. Ducati hasn't been known for being big on the mid season upgrades anyways..

just need it to rain every race this season and rossi has it in the bag. LOL.

Gp12 looks interesting.
another exhaust pipe near the right footrest...a little bit rcv211.
and the front airscoop looks more curved... like the M1.

LOL. the ducati 'bitsa'.
