As previously reported, Valentino Rossi will have a new frame and swingarm to try on his Desmosedici this weekend at Misano, for what will be his final♍ home appearance for Ducati.

Rossi, who will re-join Yamaha next season, gave the new developments the green light after a private test a🍌t Misano in late༺ August.

"Two weeks ago we did a test here with some new stuff, and they were two good days with quite good performance💎 and good feeling," said Rossi. "But now we have to understand if we have improved and how much, together with the other guys.

"It's a new chassis and a new swingarm with some modifications in the size, the positi🌟on and the stiffness.

"The comparison in the test was better than the bike that I used in Brno. So I will start tomorrow with the new stuff,"💦 continued Rossi, who finished seventh in the previous Czech Republic round.

"[Leaving Ducati] doesn't cha♕nge anything. There are still six races to go. A lot of different races where we can try to imp🌌rove the bike. Our target is to do some good races from here to the end."

Rossi, whose home tow🔴n of Tavullia is a few kilometres 😼from the Misano circuit, sits eighth in the championship with six rounds to go.

The seven time MotoGP champion finish♊ed seventh in last year's San Marino round.

"My race was not too bad last year. I was able to fight with the second♈ group and it was quite fun," said Rossi.
