Speaking about the test plans, Ducati Corse ൩Technical Director Marco 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 bik👍e and test something new.
“Many of the things aren’t 🏅visible because t🅘hey’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, especially in these areas, can get the best from 𝔉his experience in MotoGP.”
Reflecting on the opening round of the season in Phillip Island, Zambendetti was very impressed by Bulega who became the first WorldSS🥀P champion to win on his premier class debut.
“About Australia, let me say I was positively impressed about Nicolo’s perform🍌ance,” added the Italian. “We start to know him and his talent, but I’m impressed at the tꦺime 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 struggling a bit as he tried to recover his confidence with the bike and find a new bike balance with the ballast that ha﷽s been fixed on his bike.
“We’re still working on that area to give him the best package possible. I hope being in Barc🍎elona, 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 w⛎ill make an improvement with respect to Australia, and I hope 𝓀we will be in the same position as last year.”
