Ducati GP11.1 and GP12 get more testing

Apparently after Valentino Rossi’s latest words on the GP12 and its current potential, “the truth is that in the tests with the 1000cc I went slower than today’s fastest riders on the 800’s, and this means that there is still a lot of work to be done.
” have sent the Ducati test team scurrying back to the Mugello circuit on Tuesday for even more development work.

Rossi’s words caused a reaction with team manager Vitto Guareschi, who speaking to the Gazzetta dello Sport said, “Vale knows, the only real thing is that we want to be in front again.

It’s true that the best riders on Sunday went faster than our 1000cc, but they were also racing all out.
Instead on a Thursday afternoon, by ourselves and around 6 0′clock and on the eightieth lap we posted our best time.
We already know that on this track we need to take half a second off.
“The development work GP11.
1 will not stop confirmed Guareschi, “We’re going to do development work during the race weekends, and after the GP at Brno and with the test team at Jerez and Mugello.

At Laguna Seca, Nicky Hayden will also have the GP11.
1.
We have to fix it, make it more flexible, even with extreme solutions.
“Rossi and Nicky Hayden have only three more testing days available on the GP12 and two of those days will be spent at the Misano World circuit, ” We’ll not be testing at Mugello anymore, “ reported Guareschi.
“We’ll do a two day test at Misano, with both Rossi and Hayden and the third day we’ll keep free, because we’ll have to test new stuff”.
