Checa tests Ducati GP12
Carlos Checa will be testing the Ducati Desmosedici GP12 at GPzero which runs for three days in Jerez. Checa will join Franco Battaini in testing to further the development of the Desmosedici GP12, which Valentino Rossi and Nicky Hayden will race with in the 2012 season. New for 2012, the bike showcases a 1000cc engine and an aluminium twin-beam frame, to combat the issues which Ducati had found with the carbon monocoque chassis.
A whole host of other riders will also be testing, including Colin Edwards making his debut for Forward Racing on the Suter/BMW CRT and the BMW World Superbike team: Leon Haslam and Marco Melandri.
