Major changes in store for Ducati?
Preziosi's Desmosedici, featuring a steel trellis frame, made its MotoGP debut in 2003 and went on to win seven races in the 990cc era, with Loris Capirossi (6) and Troy Bayliss (1).

New signing Stoner then won 23 races and the 2007 world title during four years on the 800cc machine, which saw increasing structural use of carbon fibre, but the only other post-2006 victory was a single wet/dry win for Capirossi.

Ducati has not won a race since Stoner's departure for Honda at the end of 2010, despite signing seven time MotoGP champion Valentino Rossi to replace the Australian.

Rossi is moving back to Yamaha after just three podiums with Ducati, which switched to a twin-spar aluminium frame - as used by the Japanese bikes - for the start of this season.

AHAHAHAH At last someone with balls to put Ducati on the right place for the Future!! If this is true will be a dramatic change for Ducati and also a big chance of him 2013 they have a very refine bike that can be competitive.. Not like this sht that has been taking patches for 5 years without showing any change on the request made buy riders... I think this is unfair for Rossi, they should let run this sht for one more year for we wach Ducati even worst on the hands of Dovi.. Anyway at least with this news Dovi can smille a bit and i wich the best for him
