Speaking about the test plans, Ducati Corse Technical Director Ma🌺rco Zambenedetti said: “First of all, we are here 🦩to prepare for the round weekend as that’s always important.
“Fortunately, Barcelona seems to have good weather and is quite a complex and complete track; this gives us the ✱possibility to set up the bike and test somet🌠hing new.
“Many of the th𓂃ings ൲aren’t visible because they’re more about power delivery and the character of the engine with the new fuel control.
“There is also the test 🦄team that will help us improve the bike with Michele Pirro, who, e💞specially in these areas, can get the best from his experience in MotoGP.”
Reflecting on the opening round of the season in Phillip Island, Zambendetti was very im♑pressed by Bulega who became the first W𒊎orldSSP champion to win on his premier class debut.
“About A💜ustralia, let me say I was positively impr🎀essed about Nicolo’s performance,” added the Italian. “We start to know him and his talent, but I’m impressed at the time it took for him to get to the top with this new bike. He adapted very quickly.
“Australia is always a friendly track for Ducati, and, in this case, it seems very good for Nicolo. Alvaro was struggliಞng a bit as he tried to recover his confidence with the bike and find a new bike balance with the ball🍎ast that has been fixed on his bike.
“We’re still working 🏅on that area to give him the best package possible. I hope being in Barcelona, with all the references he has in his⭕ career, will help him and us to understand what the better setup with the ballast is.
“I’m pretty sure we will make an improvemeꦓnt with respect to Australia, and I hope we will be in the same position as last year.”
