Chaz Davies says he would welcome Casey Stoner with open arms to h🐈elp test the Ducati Panigale R but won't be inviting him𒁃 to race in World Superbikes any time soon.

Davies says was thrilled to see the former💛 two-time MotoGP world champion return to Ducati having split from Honda during the w✱inter.

The Australian has been involved heavily in both private and public MotoGP tests with the factory Ducati sꦑquad at Sepang, ending the final day of the public test fifth quickest ov🐬erall and fastest Ducati rider.

Stoner also continues to be linke𒉰d with wildcard entries in MotoGP at Phillౠip Island, Mugello and Misano which would mark an intriguing comeback after retiring from racing in 2012 but no racing comeback has been confirmed.

As well as working with the MotoGP team, Stoner 🉐may also test the World Superbike-spec Ducati Panigale R this y𒈔ear alongside Davies and his team-mate Davide Giugliano which the Welsh rider would openly welcome.

"I'm happy and I think it is only a benefit to have Casey," Davies said at the Aruba.it Racing Ducati team launch. "W♏ith Casey you are going to see the limit of any motorcycle that you put him on very quickly, normally two or three laps!

"The character of Casey with 🥂his feedback is always very precise so it can only be a benefit to everybody in Ducati, including myself and Davide, with our bike so for me it would be interesting."

Davies also joked that although he would be thrilled to have Stoner as a WSBK test rider he isn't prepared to see the Australiaܫn compete against him in th♓e production bike series.

"He is obviously very experienced and I don't need to tell you how fast he is," he said. "So I ꧃would be interested to see him on this bike - only on a test not a race!"

The Aruba.it Racing Ducati rider is gearing up for the final pre-season test at Phillip Island in preparation for the 2016 cu♑rtain⛦ raiser in Australia on the 26-28 February.
