Ducati unveiled the 2013 Desmosedici GP13 MotoGP machines this evening. Here are the photos of the new livery, for the factory Ducatis of Nicky Hayden and Andrea Dovizioso, and the Team Pramac junior team of Ben Spies and Andrea Iannone. Photos courtesy of Ducati Corse.
The factory Ducati Team - Andrea Dovizioso and Nicky Hayden
Team Pramac, the factory-supported junior team - Andrea Iannone and Ben Spies
Nicky Hayden, and the General Robert E. Lee
Andrea Dovizioso has his work cut out for him
The biggest visible change to the bikes is the disappearance of sponsors, like Generali, Enel, Diesel and Eni
More white for the 2013 bike
Dovizioso's number is a nice contrast with the red and white
The swingarm of the GP13 is virtually unchanged, so far
Exhaust routing is much the same as well
Placing of the side numbers is distinctive
Front end is also almost identical
Dovi's bike, left-hand side
More white on Hayden's #69
Chassis also remains virtually identical
#69, by the left
The nose of the GP13 is looking much more bare, without Generali and AMG
The devil is in the detail
White and black

It's the little things in life that bring me joy
Take for instance putting a zero before the four on Dovi's bike. Such great design all around. Way better than last years with the ugly green stripe.
I think I'll go light up a Marlboro to thank them for their charity work in MotoGP.
ducati renewed
Like most motogp fans I hope Ducati can be competitive (along with Suzuki, Kawasaki or even Hayate & others??) I'd like to think they'd return to carbon monocoque concept especially as now seems proven to NOT be the key issue. This seems more cutting edge and is 'going there own way' as Ducati have slways done. Copying Japan cannot be the long term solution- they will only be playing catch up. Be innovative. Be Ducati. Good luck!
Hayden was just interviewed
Hayden was just interviewed this week and said the aluminum frame was a step in the right direction and credited Rossi for pushing for it.
