As many as seven Ducatis are in action in Barcelona. In addition to those of Bautista and Bulega to the list are also those of Rinaldi, Petrucci, Lowes and Iannone. Also standing out for the occasion is that of Michele Pirro, engaged with the test team's Panigale.
The Apulian test rider is on track with a total black V4 providing support to all the riders of the House. One of the reasons Ducati called Michele, as explained by Zambenedetti on the eve of the test, is to focus on power delivery and engine character with the new fuel control.
Indeed, recall that starting this season, the tank capacity has been reduced to 21 liters. In addition, 40 percent of the fuel used must come from non-fossil origin in order to increase sustainability within the paddock.
