Naked Panigale V4
Well you know there’s an official naked Ducati Panigale V4 on the way at some point, but if you can’t wait to see what one might look like, sort of, there’s this V4 Penta put together by Officine GP Design, Turin, Italy.
Okay, maybe the actual Ducati naked won’t get a Hassock-type front end or wire-spoke wheels when it arrives, or any of the other custom details on this one, but you get the general form it might take: Born from the Ducati Panigale V4, V4 Penta has been created by the brilliant mind of Luca Pozzato, Motul ambassador, and is enriched with a brand-new components specifically created, for a breathless result. The new Officine GP Design creature promotes a new arrogant design, throughout lines which instill strength and show all the ambition of this Turin atelier new project.
If nothing else, this thing really does make you appreciate how much work was involved in squeezing that V-Four engine into such a tight space. More information, and a terribly Italian video starrring the bike, are here.

Marquez back on a bike after two months away
Marquez: “It was my first time back on a bike. Riders in general need to have a calm conscience and during the flight to Malaysia, which is around 14 hours, I will know that at least I have ridden a bike again. We’ve done a few laps that have helped me to see where it hurts a little more, and that way I can work with the physio in this week that we have left before the test. It went a bit like I expected. I lack strength on the brakes, especially on left-hand corners, when I have to use my shoulder for support, and that is where we have to continue pushing to improve. Now we will be patient in Malaysia, to reach March at full strength.”
