Ducati has confirmed that a substantially revised version of its Desmosedici MotoGP machine will debut at this weeke🍸nd's Aragon round.

The changes - believed to include the chassis and engine - will be the biggest since the start of the season and a stepping stone towards new Ducati Corse general manager Gi𒐪g Dall'Igna's full 2015 re-design, ꦿto be seen in testing at Sepang next February.

According to a Ducati statement, Andre♑a Dovizioso and 2015 factory team-mate Andrea Iannone (currently at Pramac) "were able to shakedown the 'evolution' version 🌌of their Desmosedici, called GP14.2, for the first time" during a private test at Mugello on Tuesday.

"The two Italian riders will con🐻tinue to test the bike during the Arag?n race weekend,ౠ" the statement added.

The changes will therefore not be made available to Dovizioso's present t🅺eam-mate Cal Crutchlow, who is ꦉleaving for LCR Honda at the end of the season.

Dovizioso is fifth in the world cha💟mpionship, with two podiums, and needs just two more points to match his entire 2013 tally.
