[ Full Story: BSN ] 7 November 2011

BSN reports: Marlboro Ducati's Valentino Rossi and team-mate Nicky Hayden will ride experimental versions of the Desmosedici GP12 on day one of the Valencia MotoGP test Tuesday and, according to boss Filippo Preziosi, it will be nothing like the bike they will race at Qatar next year.

Both the riders will run the full aluminium perimeter frame designed by FTR and Preziosi also hinted they may change the angle of the engine's V in order to be able to put more weight over the front wheel to load the Bridgestone tyres more, the report adds.
