The GP 12 marks a new era in the Moto GP history of Ducati who were hesitant to use the aluminium frame used by the Japanese manufacturers and used carbon fibre frame which is bolted to the engine making the engine a stressed member of the chassis.This did not work well with GP 11 when World champion Rossi had failed to place in the top 3 of the standings in 2011 Moto GP has also complained about the lack of front end feel from the bike.So Ducati in the GP 12 had opted for an aluminium frame similar to that used by the Japanese manufacturers to stay competitive.
