DUCATI UNVEILS 2018 MOTOGP LIVERY
A
ndrea Dovizioso and Jorge
Lorenzo will have a revised
color scheme on their bikes for
the 2018 MotoGP World Cham-
pionship, after the duo unveiled
their machines at a special event
in Borgo Panigale, Italy.
"It is absolutely stunning, so
beautiful," Dovizioso told motor-
sport.com. "Every single bike
I had the possibility to ride was
beautiful but this has something
different, we have added some
grey, even more aggressive,
even more stunning."
The Ducati Desmosedici
GP18 shown is not the final
specification the team will run
in 2018, but will be very close
to the spec they take to the
Sepang test at the end of the
month with Lorenzo and Dovizio-
so, as well as test riders Michele
Pirro and Casey Stoner.
Stoner and Pirro will likely
get the opportunity to test the
GP18 in a private three-day test
on January 24-26, with Lorenzo
and Dovizioso taking over on
January 38-30. CN
Ladies in Red: The new Ducati Desmosedici GP18s have
seen slight aesthetic tweaks for the new race season.

across defending champion Gavin Faith captured his second-consecutive victory at round two of 2018

Rocky Mountain ATV-MC Head 2 Head Challenge winner, Chris Blose, rounded out the podium. In the
