As a confirmed rider for next year, Andrea Dovizioso had a new Ducati chassis at his disposal at the Sachsenring, something his teammate did not have.
Andrea Iannone therefore had to wait for these tests on the Red Bull Ring to try it and, obviously, make very good use of it since all the competition was relegated to more than 4 tenths!
Andrea Iannone, 1'23.240, 1st: “It was a very positive test. I'm happy that it ended this way, with the best time, because we worked well and always drove very fast during these two days. We tried the new chassis for the first time yesterday and it gives me very positive feelings. Today we focused on different settings of the bike, with good results, and I can say that such a result is the best possible way to go on vacation. »
