The last testing session leading up to the long European segment of the 2023 WorldSBK <\/strong>season has come to an end at Barcelona.<\/p>\n

Alvaro Bautista<\/strong> and Michael Rinaldi<\/strong> worked intensively on their Ducati Panigale V4R<\/strong> machines, also testing the new tyres brought by Pirelli, and concluded their activities at the Montmel\u00f3 circuit at the end of today’s morning session.<\/p>\n

The Spanish rider ended in P1 with a fastest time of 1’40.459 (set this morning, despite a crash without any particular consequences), completing a total of 142 laps.<\/p>\n

Positive indications also for Michael Rinaldi, who worked with his team on the set-up, trying new solutions – especially on the front end – and finishing with a best time of 1’40.820 (152 laps completed).<\/p>\n

P1 – Alvaro Bautista (Aruba.it Racing – Ducati #1)<\/strong>
\n“It was a very positive test where we also had the chance to try the new tyres brought by Pirelli. We gathered valuable information that will be useful during the season. I am very happy with the feeling with the bike and I can’t wait to be at Assen”.<\/em><\/p>\n

P4 – Michael Rinaldi (Aruba.it Racing – Ducati #21)<\/strong>
\n“I’m very satisfied: we worked in several directions, completing many laps. We tried different solutions on the front end that will be useful in the future;  moreover, we focused on electronics and tires. My very positive sensations are confirmed by the fact that for the first time at Barcelona, I managed to lap under 1’41”.<\/em>
