Nicky Hayden believes the departure of Valentino Rossi from Ducati will allow the team to make a "fresh start" with "fresh ideas" ahead of the 2013 MotoGP season.

UPDATE: Nope, according to Italian TV’s Gudio Meda, it is a model built from leftover parts of the GP3 & GP7. For those picking out those design elements, good eye! While the official launch of the Ducati Desmosedici GP13 is supposed to be tomorrow, the folks atGPinside have seemingly snagged this photo of the GP13 at the 2013 Wrooom event that Ducati co-hosts with Scuderia Ferrari. While the livery appears relative unchanged, there are several noticeable changes to the Desmosedici GP13, namely the skinnier tail section. Our eyes also spot changes to the exhaust system, with a much shorter side-pipe, and what appears to be a larger undertail cannister. The fairings have also been refined from their previous shape, and give away a figure that’s longer than the GP12 (shown after the jump), with noticeably fewer side vents...

Whatever it is, it's closer to the 1199 Panigale they showed last year. Wrooom roll outs are a tough tradition to uphold, when the bike and team are in steep transition with a test looming.... Delete the scoop?

European Editor Bruno dePrato visits the Bologna factory to watch an 1199 Power Twin come to life!
Ducati allowed me to walk the production line of the 1199 Panigale, arguably the most advanced V-Twin in production today. The assembly line is that of the Desmosedici V-Four, completely refurbished and retooled. If it weren’t for the scent of special sealants and lubricants, the place would pass for a surgical operating theater. When I stepped into it, my mind went back to when I was working at Ducati....
Vicki Smith for Ducati.net's insight:
Lots of great photos - quite a contrast to the vintage assembly line video we posted HERE last week. It's a pretty big deal to take photos on the Ducati factory floor so when you see something like this it's something special

This union...merge...call it what you will...between Audi and Ducati could be a train wreck, or, if done properly, a marriage made in heaven. I hope for the latter as I pull up my bucket of popcorn and watch.

The Ducati Paul Smart is one of the all-time greats—a high performance machine with equal appeal to fans of both modern and vintage machinery.
The Ducati Paul Smart is one of the all-time greats—a high performance machine with equal appeal to fans of both modern and vintage machinery. But it’s not quite perfect … so Texas-based Revival Cycles leapt at the opportunity to thoroughly upgrade this 2006 model.
“We built it for a client who already has a Diavel and another Sport Classic,” says Revival’s Alan Stulberg. “The goal was to create the machine that Ducati should have originally built. The factory Paul Smart was a bit visually cluttered, with plastic bits here and there. It left the door wide open for us to give the Paul Smart a more vintage look with modern upgrades.”...

This was the year Valentino Rossi was supposed to sprinkle his magic pixie dust at Ducati. Instead, clouds of smoke and ash were the only matter floating in his garage after the 2012 MotoGP season.
