The eight-time world champion spoke to the press at the end of the first day, sharing his feelings. He said: “First of all, I wish Martin a speedy recovery. We focused 80% on the 2025 bike, mainly because Pecco and I initially had a strange feeling. We immediately understood the problem, and inside the garage, we did a great job as a team, but that’s how the preseason is. When you try something new, with a new bike on track, sometimes there are little things that change. Pecco and I understood that the fastest way to work was to divide the tasks and find the right path.”

The Spanish rider then added: “”I understand why Ducati has the bike they have, they have a working method I’ve never seen before. I like this collaboration because what matters to the team is being stronger on both sides. In the end, when we get to the first race, everyone will race their own race, but right now we’re here to work and make the bike as competitive as possible. Today we focused on the engine, and once you understand the engine, it applies for the next two seasons. Time attacks aren’t very important right now, but it was a weak point for me last year, so I did one at the end today to start getting a feel for it.”
