As previously reported, Valentino Rossi will have a new 🐓frame and swingarm to try on his Desmosedici this weekℱend at Misano, for what will be his final home appearance for Ducati.

Rossi, who will re-jಞoin Yamaha next season, gave the new developments the green light after a private test at Misano in late August.

"Two weeks ago we did a test here with some new stuff, and they were two good days with quite good performance and good feeling," s♕aid Rossi. "But now we have to understand if we have improved and how much, together with the other guys.

"It's a new♋ chassis and a new swingarm with somꦚe modifications in the size, the position and the stiffness.

"The comparison in the test was ✱better than the bike that I used in Brno. So I will start t🍌omorrow with the new stuff," continued Rossi, who finished seventh in the previous Czech Republic round.

"[Leaving Ducati] doesn't change anything. There are still six races to go. A lot of different races where we can try to improve the bike. Our target💖 is to do some good races from here to the end."

💛Rossi, whose home town of Tavullia is a few kilometr♑es from the Misano circuit, sits eighth in the championship with six rounds to go.

The seven🥀 time MotoGP champion finished seventh in last year's San Marino round.

"My race was not too bad last year. I �🐻�was able to fight with the second group and it was quite fun," said Rossi.
