Pramac Ducati's Andrea Iannone joined factory tester Michele Pirro to test new chassis parts on the firm's 'laboratory' Demsosedici GP13 in order to try and solve the myriad problems they still face.
Iannone and Pirro spent two days at Jerez on the mule which had a modified frame and fairing to accommodate a new exhaust system. It may also points to a solution to problems with the engine's output shaft which makes the frame too long and swingarm too short.
"In addition the riders tested some different electronic strategies and they also went according to plan, leaving the team satisfied with the outcome. The success of both of these solutions indicate that the Ducati Team is working in the right direction, in what is just the first phase of its development programme for this year," said a Ducati spokesmole.
