“Spy Attitude”: The Ducati GP20 like never before

It is very rare to be able to observe a MotoGP without the slightest bodywork element. Generally, if this is the case, either you are part of a team and are bound by professional secrecy, or, as a journalist, you have the chance to be tolerated in a box and are obviously bound by the same secrecy.

This is the rule, and it is all the more accepted and respected as everything that happens outside the box can be photographed, if anything happens at all…

This is why some have specialized in photos of the returns of damaged motorcycles, to try to see this or that detail despite the tarpaulins deployed as quickly as possible by the mechanics.

In this case, it is Tuesday evening in the pit lane, at the end of the first day of MotoGP testing in Valencia, and it is the moment when Ducati delivers a GP20 into the Pramac stand under the eye of Davide Tardozzi for Jack Miller.

The motorcycle is completely devoid of any bodywork elements, but is largely covered by a red tarpaulin.

We are far, very far away, and the grazing light is weak: despite our telephoto lens, the quality of the images suffers but they still allow us to distinguish the lower part of the motorcycle, with the bottom of the frame and its fixings. engine, front exhausts, radiators and the absence of a clutch.

We will come back in detail on the new features presented by this Ducati GP20, starting with its new chassis.
