Ducati has confirmed that Casey Stoner will continue to test for the team on the third day of the opening MotoGP pre-season test at Sepang following a successful run on Tuesday.
The 2007 and ’11 world champion made his first official test appearance for Ducati on Tuesday, finishing the day ninth on the timesheets after focusing on electronic set-up work on a 2015 specification Desmosedici GP.
“It’s been another good day today,” said the Australian, who completed a private test at the Malaysian circuit on Saturday.
“Being on track with everybody else, with the good track conditions, gave us better indications of what we are feeling in comparison.
“We had a lot of different things to test, but unfortunately after [Loris] Baz’s crash we had to change tyre compounds and retest everything.
“We went through a lot of the stack we had to do, and got some very positive input from the electronics, the engine braking, the clutch and in every aspect of the bike, together with a few things we can improve, and we gathered a lot of data to move forward from there.”
