The official Ducati MotoGP team has just presented the new Desmocedici GP19 from Andrea Dovizioso and Danilo Petrucci, which retains its technical characteristics but intends to maintain its lead in aerodynamics. Photos and technical sheet.

In case they forget, the mission of the two official Ducati riders in MotoGP 2019 is now clearly written in white on red (nothing moving?) On the fairings of their motorcycle: "Winnow", the slogan that the sponsor Philip Morris also used in F1 with Ferrari and which can be translated as "Win now" or "Separate the wheat from the chaff", but also phonetically as "We know"…

"We know" how to beat Honda? "Winning now" is indeed the main objective of the manufacturer and of Andrea Dovizioso, the only driver in the last two years to have really contested the overwhelming domination of Marc Marquez. Technically, the motorcycle is since the does not evolve radically on the technical level, with the exception of the.

On the trim side, the GP19 contrasts with the GP18, as can be seen in the photos below, mainly in terms of the aerodynamic appendages. Remember that Ducati was one of the first to have developed these fins, before being imitated by all its rivals. Banned as such since 2017, the "winglets" are now giving way to protuberances connected at each end to the fairing, in accordance with regulations.

The title with Dovi, podiums and victories for "Petrux"

But for 2019, this regulation prohibits teams "" according to their needs. In short: Ducati and its competitors must now find the right balance in terms of aerodynamics. It is therefore on this axis that the engineer and director of the Ducati Corse team, Gigi d’All Igna, focused his efforts on the Desmosedici GP19, also aware of having reached a threshold of satisfactory competitiveness and homogeneity..

  • MNC of June 28, 2018 : 

Proof of its level of performance? Dovizioso’s four victories plus Lorenzo’s three wins last year – seven in all – against just one victory for Yamaha which will present its new colors on February 4… 

"Our goal will still be to aim for the title: we are not the favorites, but we will try to offer a memorable year to the fans", promises All Igna, warning his new driver, Danilo Petrucci, that his "goal will be this time to taste the joys of victory. We will accompany him so that he can fight for the podium in as many races as possible "…
