During the post-race tests at Catalunya, Stoner test rode the '09 Ducati which has all or part of its chasis made from carbon-fiber
He also set the fastest time of the test on it...

and on the GP9 the front part is even more dedicated to support and the dimensions become more limited. The fact we´ve used carbon fibre in the production of the chassis is not the most relevant point, it is more the shape that is different from before.[/quote]
One reason some aircraft use composite fuselages is so they can build shapes you can't make with metal.
