After revealing certain aspects of the Ducati GP12 (take it with a grain of salt because this isn’t the version that the Ducati factory team will be using) Cardion AB racing team held a big party (and what a party judging by the images) in Prague to present their 2012 livery.
This will the second year in GP racing for the Czech team who will continue to field Karel Abraham, who despite misgivings from fans at the beginning of last season (a rookie who was in MotoGP thanks to daddy’s money) was pretty impressive, often beating the Ducati factory riders in practice and qualifying sessions and also beating several veteran riders in the final standings.
“In 2011 I learned a lot,” said Abraham.
“We managed to get good results in several rounds, we struggled in others.
Our main problem has been race consistency and find a good set-up: in practice we were often able to obtain a good position on the grid, but we weren’t good enough to repeat in during the races.
With another year of experience we hope to do it this season.
“Talking about the GP12 he also added, “I’ve already tried the new bike at Valencia, but Sepang will be our first true test with the GP12.
I imagine there will be a lot of work to do, but I am ready.
