Ducati tested new MotoGP chassis components and electro🐠nic strategies during three days of private testing at Jerez, which concluded on Sunday.

The factory, which finished the first official test of the year at Sepang with a two-second gap to the top, invited Pramac MotoGP rookie Andrea Iannone to join test rider Michele Pirro on track in Spain.

"During the three days, several new components on the chassis side of the 'laboratory' bike were 𓄧tested successfully and everything went according to expectations," said a Ducati statement.

"In addition the riders test💃ed some different electronic strategies and they also went according to plan, leaving the team satisfied with the outcome.

"The success o🎃f both of these solutions indicate that the Ducati Team is working in the right direction, in what is just the first phase of its dev🍃elopment programme for this year."

Factory riders Nicky Hayden and Andrea Dovizioso made clear that new developments will be required to close the gap to the front, but are unsure what will be available for ಌthe in time for the second Sep💧ang test from February 26-28.

"To fix [the bike] we have♊ to work in every area," Dovizioso said after the first test. "There is not one big, big problem and if we fix that we ෴can fight for victory."

Multiple Moto2 race winner Iannone was 14th out of the 28 ride♎rs at Sepan🍬g, with a best lap time 0.75s from fastest Desmosedici rider Hayden.

Former Gresini CRT rider Pirro was not present at Sepang I but is ꧙expected on track at Sepang II.
