Ditto. Looks like it'll have a carbon fiber chassis! I don't follow MotoGP as much as I'd like to, so I'm curious if this is the first time CF is used for the chassis, or has that been pretty common for the past few years?
Does anyone else think the bike and drivers look a little bit out of place standing in the snow?

Looks great. Can't wait to hear the riders impressions of the carbon frame. Ducati had a similar unveiling of the GP8 last year in the snow. They actually put studded tires on the bike and rode it on the ice.

You can almost get a hint of that concern in the video when Stoner says it should be "interesting".
