Spy shot in Aust M/CNews Mag shows Franco Battaini (test rider) on an alloy twin spar chassis at Mugello. The mag claims the frame was designed by Ducati but made for them by FTR. The mag also claims this has caused internal conflict within Ducati management.

Twenty bucks says my old Rupp mini bike from when I was a kid handles better than Duc's GP bike. laughingdp Hell, resurrect the old Rupp engineers and have them design the frame. Roll Eyes

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the air—these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

The bike is fine.  The problem is Rossi.  He's never been able to ride anything well.
