On Tuesday evening the Ducati Team riders Andrea Dovizioso and Nicky Hayden, and their Pramac Racing Team counterparts Andrea Iannone and Ben Spies, together with the management, braved snow-storms, sub-zero temperatures and an altitude of 2200 metres to take the wraps off the bikes that will compete in the 2013 MotoGP World Championship.
