So it's an Alan Cathcart article quoting Motosprint's Massimo Clarke as the source.

I'm not overly convinced as there are some real major changes listed:
- rotated engine by 90deg to give rear-ward facing bias?
- move to gear AND chain driven cams?
- loss of trellis for stressed engine frame?
- dual spark ignition heads?
- debut at Milan in Nov 2011?

While it all sounds great, it really will be ripping up the Ducati rule book if all these things are true!
