Casey Stoner has finished his work at Misano: two days of testing and about a hundred laps that have left him exhausted. It had been a long time since the Australian's last adventure in Europe and a few months since his last time on the GP16.
The Kangaroo did not take long to pick up the pace, although he felt the effect of the efforts after such a long time.
“We’ve had a very positive test, this being my first time on a European track since 2012 and my first time in Misano since 2011 - recalls Casey - It’s been a long time and it’s really nice to ride these European-style tracks again and get a feel for what a bike is for basically 70 or 80 percent of the season. Everything we have done has been very positive, we got 95% of our test done over these two days".
Much work was done and it brought results.
“We got some direction with Michelin and were able to get a bit of direction between the chassis and the electronics etc. - he continues - I’m really looking forward to seeing what comes from this for the next stages and also what the factory riders really think of the steps we’ve been able to make”.
Now Stoner will be able to relax amongst the Ducati population. The next test for him will be at the Red Bull Ring in August, along with the other MotoGP riders.
“The next few days are going to be really interesting. I haven’t been to World Ducati Week for a long time - he says - It’s hard to remember what it was like back then, but now I’m looking forward to the whole weekend and seeing so many fans, everyone who turns up, the amount of bikes. The 90th anniversary of Ducati is such a big celebration and I’m looking forward to being a part of it.”
