“It’s somet🌞hing more than feeling. It’s helping the engineer with aerodyn🔴amics.
“Mostly what we have considered most is fairing. We tested it in Valencia. Now it is the same, but it i🍸s [more] finalised than in Valencia.
“As we know, we were iꦜn good condition in🐼 2022 with all the victories that Ducati got.
“But a♕lready in Valencia, we test🐭ed quite a few things, and the development was there. In the winter they were working on what we did in Valencia.”
