Carbon and aluminium frames go well for Rossi

Switching over to a 1000cc bike from his previous 800cc, Marlboro Ducati's Valentino Rossi says the difference is no that much. He has spent last two days testing the 1000cc Desmosedici GP12 engine at Valencia, specially its carbon and aluminium frames wrapped around the bike.

Speaking to Bike-Sport-News (BSN) Rossi, the nine-time world champion, said:

"With this bike you can push a bit more on the front and it is the feeling I had with the first touch on the 1000cc in Jerez so for some reason you can push more and together with the better engine delivery is a better bike but for me it is not from the chassis."
