Alvaro Bautista gets his wish - an official Ducati MotoGP test

The reign🎐ing WorldSBK champion will head to the Misano circuit in Italy on June 20 and 21.
He will have an opportunity to test the Desmosedici, the best machinery on theꦯ MotoGP grid for the past two years.
There are no expectations for the test - but it is somewhat of a 🍎reward for his brilliant for🐷m.
Ba🌌utista is 86 points clear in the WorldSBK standings of his closest challenger Toprak Razgatlioglu.
He has st♑unningly won 14 of 15 races so fᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚar this year.
While Ducati may boast the best bike in WorldSBK, it is theiꩲr star rider who is🗹 truly pushing it to its limits.
Bautista preꦚviously competed in MotoGP for 🐻nine years.
He is now 38 years old.

He had previously said: “After I won the World Championship in WorldSBK, I asked Ducati to have a test with the MotoGP bike because, f🐻rom the outside, it seems like a really fun bike.🐈
“We will 🌸do the test very soon. I don’t do the test with an intention to do a wildcard.
“I’d like to do the test and let’s see what happe༒ns.&n🗹bsp;
“I don’t think there’s a lot of chance to rep𓂃eat what Troy Bayliss did in 2006. It was another time and it was dif🤪ferent.
“At the mom🍌ent, in my mind, it’s only the World Superbike Championship. I just take the test like a prize and don’t think about Troy B🌠ayliss.”
