Ducati a bien caché son jeux quand aux développement de leur moto 800cc, en effet la moto de l usine de Bologne sera dans le courant de la semaine tester au Mugello par l un de leur pilotes essayeur..et loris capirossi sera présent pour observer les premiers tours de la bête...Ducati affiche de forte prétention et pense pouvoir gagner le championnat 2007! dans tous les cas un beau pieds de nez a Honda et Yamaha dont les machines 800cc de sont, à l heure actuel, uniquement tester sur banc d essai.
ducati ouvre le feu en premier mais a mon avis ça m'étonnerait que la honda ne soit pas a un stade avançé vu que c'est eux qui ont poussé pour le passage au 800.
je suis un peu de l'avis de thizabou, mais malgres tout j'espere que la ducati sera tres performante des le debut afin de ne pas recommencer un regne sans partage de honda pendant deux ans en attendant que la concurence se reveille
Factory test-rider Vittoriano Guareschi carries out the first shakedown test of the Ducati Desmosedici GP7, fitted with a new 800cc engine in compliance with 2007 MotoGP regulations.
Alongside the development work being carried out by Loris Capirossi and Sete Gibernau for the 2006 MotoGP championship, the Desmosedici GP7 machine that will form the basis for the Italian manufacturer's challenge for the 2007 season had its first shakedown test today at Mugello.
Ducati factory test-rider Vittoriano Guareschi, who has steadfastly carried out this role since 2002, took to the track with the new 800cc powered prototype machine, marking the start of the first track test of the Desmosedici GP7 that will continue until Thursday.
The scene for the shakedown test was Ducati's 'home' circuit of Mugello, which was the venue for the debut of the first version of the Desmosedici way back on August 1, 2002.
Filippo Preziosi (Ducati Corse Technical Director)
"Today the new 800cc engine finally moved from the dyno to the track and we are quite satisfied with this debut. We started off by running a check on all the components of the new bike and over the next two days, if we don't encounter any particular problems, we will move on to phase two and begin the first set-up work. Today is certainly very important, but it is just the start of a long path that we know lies ahead of us. A special thanks goes out to all the guys in Ducati Corse who have worked hard over the past few months to get the bike, with which we will race in next year's championship, out onto the track today, as well as all of our suppliers and technical sponsors, above all Shell Advance, who with their technology, experience and availability are making a decisive contribution to our project."
Vittoriano Guareschi (Ducati Corse official test rider)
"I have to admit that the first lap with the GP7 was really exciting. I am used to testing new solutions on our bikes, but this was different to the others: it is a totally new machine, and so it's even more exciting than usual. It seems just like yesterday that we were testing the Desmosedici GP3 here at Mugello for the first time, but four years have gone by! Today we made another important step forward in the MotoGP project: it is as if our family has given birth to a second 'baby' and the first noises it has made are not bad at all!"
J'ajouterai que Ducati bénéficie avec shell d'une expérience incroyable du fait de leur engagement en F1 avec Ferrari, notamment en ce qui concerne la caractéristique des 800cc: ils tournent très, très vite, bien plus vite que des 990cc et ont donc besoin de lubrifiants adaptés.
