March 17, 2022
DUCATI TEST DAY 1 ARAGON CIRCUIT
April 4, 2022
The last private tests of the 2022 pre-season ended today at the Circuit de Barcelona Catalunya (Spain).
The Aruba.it Racing – Ducati team riders worked profitably on their Ducati Panigale V4R during the two intense days (with cold temperature).
Alvaro Bautista also had the chance to lap in wet conditions after the heavy rain that fell during the lunch break today.
DAY 1
Alvaro Bautista took to the track on his Ducati Panigale V4R and immediately showed a good feeling.
The Spanish rider completed 93 laps, recording an extremely convincing race pace and finishing with a best time of 1’40.824 using race tyres.
DAY 2
Despite the very low temperature, Alvaro was still able to push hard continuing to work on race tyres, without using the new qualifying tyre introduced by Pirelli (SCQ).
In the afternoon he returned to the track in wet conditions and concluded 18 LAPS.

“I’m satisfied with these two days of testing. We’ve worked a lot on the bike, trying some interesting solutions that have given positive results. We’ve also tried the new rear tyre that Pirelli should bring to Barcelona round, although obviously, the weather conditions will be different. We are making constant progress and this gives us great confidence. Let’s go to the Aragon tests to fix the last details that will allow us to be ready for the first round”.
