From the first till second pre-season test we can see how casey stoner always follow the “doctor” in every time of testing. we know that Ducati has change their engine from the screamer into the big bang’s,this was a big evolution i think for Europe motoGP like Ducati to follow Japanese which always use big bang machines for their prototype than using the screamer. How Valentino Rossi with his M-1 to bring Yamaha as the motoGP championship leader for 2 years have change the way of Ducati from ever we know.
All riders still have 1 last pre-season test will hold in Qatar from 18 -19 March before the first race for all classes in 11 March 2010.
