MotoGP: Yamaha to run new paint scheme at Phillip

TEAM FIAT Yamaha's Valentino Rossi and Colin Edwards will run a

special one-off livery on their bikes and leathers for the Australian

Grand Prix in Phillip Island this weekend, starting from Free Practice

on Friday. The livery has been inspired by the famous 'Abarth' brand, a

division of Fiat Automobiles SpA.

The Abarth brand has been re-launched by Fiat this year with several new

models and this weekend's livery is designed to celebrate that. The

livery uses all the elements of the logo - the Scorpion, which is

synonymous with the brand, the white and red flag and the word 'Abarth'.

The bikes will be on display at 09.45 in the Phillip Island Pit Lane on

Friday, 12th October, just before the start of Free Practice.

Yamaha say this will be the last livery change of the season for the team.
