• Kawasaki ‘curious’ to see 🍃how Adrian Huertas rides ‘the WorldSBK bike’

During the test Petrucci took a major step forwaಞrd with regards to his performance on a brand new tyre, somethin🐬g that has caused him issues in qualifying throughout this season.

Calling it the first test day that went to plan, Petrucci added: "Maybe it’s the first day of the t🥂est this year that went straight. We didn’t make many modifications, but we g♒ot some new parts; new brake discs. 

"We needed to compare some parts, like the triple clamp and small setup adjustments. In the end, i൩t wasn’t bad. 

"The lap times 🌺were harder to repeat in the afternoon as the wind was a bit st♓ronger; in the morning, I had a better feeling. 

"In the end, without using a Q tyre, we wereඣ fast until the enඣd and with the pace, I can repeat the time and I can be satisfied."

For factory Ducati rider Bautista, the Aragon test💖 was another positive one as he found further improvements in the braking area.

Bautista said: "Today, 𝕴the feeling with the bike was much better with a bit less wind. I was able to have a normal f🍨eeling, so we did normal work. 

"We tried some setups on the fro🐷nt fork, to improve the feeling in the braking area. We found something that will be interesting because I had a good feeling. 

"Other things were not as good 𓂃as expected but, in the end, I think we worked♒ really well. 

"I’m happy after these two days, especially after the first day where the feeling with the bike ꧒was a bit difficult. Today, it became normal, so I enjoyed it a lot."
