Casey Stoner may 𒐪not be making a wild-card entry in this weekend's Austrian MotoGP, but his pace at the recent private test once again impressed the likes of Jorge Lorenzo.

The retired double world champion and present Ducati test rider 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: set the third fastest lap time, despite a late fall after putting in a soft tyre and 168澳ꦯ洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: 'pushing for the firs🐭t time in four years'.

"Yes, I saw him on track today," said Yamaha's reigning triple champion Lorenzo. "It's impressive because he doesn't have the confidence that a normal rider in MoไtoGP has - because he doesn't ride much during the year - and he's at the level of Iannone and Dovizioso.

"Bu🥂t we didn't discover anything new; the talent 🐲of Casey is unbelievable."

Factory Ducati stars Andrea Iannone and Andrea Dovizio🌺so topped the private test, attended by all but Repsol Honda and Tech 3 Yamaha.

Altho🐷ugh Stoner won't be on the grid this weekend - when on paper Ducati stands a good chance to finally end the win drought since Stoner's 2010 🦩Phillip Island win - there will still be a factory Desmosedici wild-card in the form of Michele Pirro.

Former title rꦛivals Lorenzo and Stoner wilꦯl work together at Ducati next season.
