The 2015 Ducati Team was introduced this week at the Ducati Auditorium in Borgo Panigale, and the new Desmosedici GP15, the bike with which factory riders Andrea Dovizioso and Andrea Iannone will take part in the 2015 MotoGP World Championship, was unveiled.

The event was broadcast in live streaming worldwide on Telecom Italia. Factory riders Andrea Dovizioso and Andrea Iannone unveiled the new Ducati Desmosedici GP15. The event was conducted by Guido Meda, Italy’s long-time MotoGP TV commentator and Deputy Director of SKY Sport Italia.

The first to speak was Claudio Domenicali, CEO of Ducati Motor Holding, who commented on the atmosphere in Ducati Corse and the excellent results achieved by the company in 2014.

“The spirit I have seen in the company in the last few months reminds me of the same enthusiasm and motivation with which we began our adventure in MotoGP,” said Domenicali.

He was then followed onto the stage by Luigi Dall’Igna, Ducati Corse General Manager, who spoke of the new GP15 project and goals for 2015.

“The Desmosedici GP15 is a major step forward and, together with our two riders, will allow us to aim for ambitious targets,” said Dall’Igna.
