Ducati don’t need a Yamaha copy

Ducati may be aiming to help Valentino Rossi duplicate his Yamaha success with its Desmosedici, but the Italian factory insists it doesn't need to construct a copy of the M1.

After a 15th place on Rossi's Ducati first appearance during testing at Valencia, Ducati confessed changes will be wanted to allow the seven time MotoGP champion to ride as he would like.

But in spite of so many team members moving with Rossi from Yamaha, team manager Vittoriano Guareschi insists that there is no force to change the Ducati plan philosophy.

"The [new team members from Yamaha] are settling in well. After so many years at Yamaha they be grateful for the soul of our brand," Guareschi told Italy's La Gazzetta dello Sport.

“Jerry [Rossi's crew chief] is reassuring. In universal there is peace of mind: we just need to get better the bike, not make a copy of the Yamaha.

"We're going in the way indicated by Valentino for 2011.

"The times [during testing at Valencia] were not very hopeful, it must be said, but after seeing the condition of his shoulder, we felt reassured. Our bike requires strong bodily input and Valentino wasn't fit sufficient in Valencia.”

Rossi has since undergone surgery for the shoulder wound and will be present for the presentation of the 2011 Ducati at the upcoming Wrooom press ski meeting. Rossi's first ride in Ducati red will then take place at Sepang, Malaysia, from February 1-3.
