Ducati to use new engine at Laguna Seca

Preziosi: "New Ducati engine for Laguna"

Wednesday, 18 July 2012

Following its home-race at Mugello last weekend, the Ducati team is currently in an important test period, where it will decide which parts to use in its new engine, which will be sealed just before the Laguna Seca race in under two weeks time.

Filippo Preziosi, General & Technical Director of Ducati Corse, spoke with motogp.com after the official MotoGP™ test at Mugello on Monday, after which the team would be staying for a further three days at the Tuscan circuit with its test team. The work to be carried out across the four days is extensive. Preziosi commented: "Now we are working on both the chassis and engine driveability. The problem is really huge. Last weekend was a step, but we know we have to work very hard to improve."

As announced earlier in the season, the race in Laguna Seca will see Ducati start using its number four engine, which is to be sealed before the race.

I for one can not wait until Ducati gets the bike right for Rossi and the wins start coming back.
