Karel Abraham’s 2012 Ducati livery unveiled

This is what the Ducati Desmosedici GP12 that Karel Abraham will ride in the 2012 MotoGP world championship will look like when the new season kicks off in Qatar on April 8.

Abraham’s Cardion AB Motoracing squad staged its team launch in Prague last Friday ahead of the Czech Republic rider beginning his preparations for the new 1000cc era in Sepang next week.

The first three-day test of the pre-season campaign runs between January 31 and February 2.
