\u201cYeah, very good start, to be honest,\u201d he told the official MotoGP world feed.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is a clear shakedown of the bike, because the engine was on the test bench for many months.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo, we understood it very well, but the bike it was the first time.<\/p>\n
\u201cTo be honest, it was a good test.<\/p>\n
\u201cSavadori did a good job, and now it is necessary to work a lot because the bike has changed a little bit, because without the front and rear right height devices, you have to find a different balance, a different set-up, and also a different set-up on the electronics side because the wheelies is different in a straight line.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, it will be a very hard second part of the season because we need to keep the level high here in the 1000cc championship and, in the same way, keep the work at home with our test time in designing the 850.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ducati carried out a second private test of its 850cc bike earlier this week with World Superbike star Nicolo Bulega.<\/p>\n
According to GPOne, Bulega managed a 1m47.2s on the Ducati 850, with the current lap record at Mugello a 1m44.169s.<\/p>\n
