Andrea Dovizioso is alread🅷y feeling more confident about his prospects at Ducati foꦓr 2014 after the Italian completed his testing programme in Valencia.

Dovizioso called it quits early at around 1.30pm after analysing some minor update🦋s and was credited with the ninth fastest time in 🤡1m 31.716s.

Although the experienced MotoGP star feels it is too early to speculate over how the Desmosedici will perform at the Sepang test next February, Dovizioso is optimistic about the new season following the appointment of Gigi Dall'Igna as new Ducat🐓i Corse General Manager.

"We had a few small things to try, like a throttle, a clutch, and a rear brake, but really nothing new, ♕as we already tested the frame yesterday," he said.

"The conditions today were reallཧy, real♍ly good, so we were able to make a good lap time, but the other riders also did really fast laps.

"This test served more to familiarise Gigi [Dall'Igna] and to provide feedback to h🌺im to apply during his development work for next year," 𓂃added Dovizioso.

"We can't really know yet how the bike will be in Malaysia, so ꦿit's too early to speak about that. For sure, I'm more confident for next year."

Dall'Igna, meanwhile, is preparing for an 'intense' winter period of dev𒉰elopment prior to the Sepang test next year after the winter ban.

"For me, these days here at Valencia were my first in Ducati, and I had the opportunity to get to know a⛦ll the people, try to understand the problems with the bike and analyse all the available means that seem to be different from what I was used to before," he said.

"My presence was important primarily for understan🧸ding these aspects. Now an intense period of work awaits us in view of the Sepang test in early February."
