Ducati MotoGP pairing Andrea Dovizioso and Danilo Petrucci have unveiled the 2020 Desmosedici on which they will try to wrestle the crown from Marc Marquez.

At a bunfight in Bologna, the new bike was introduced by CEO Claudio Domenicale and technical boff Gigi Dall'Igna.

"2020 will be even more intense and demanding with 20 races scheduled in the calendar, and our rivals will be even more competitive. That is why we all need to increase our commitment," said Dall'Igna.

"For this reason, we have been working harder during the winter to offer to Andrea and Danilo a Desmosedici GP20 bike that will allow them to become leading contenders in all races and all conditions."
