There are no expectations for the test - but👍 it is somewhat of a reward for his brilliant form🎃.

Bautista is 86 points clear in the WorldSBK sta🃏n🧸dings of his closest challenger Toprak Razgatlioglu.

He has stunningly won 14 of 15 rac𒁏es so fa💝r this year.

While Ducati may boast the be♎s🌺t bike in WorldSBK, it is their star rider who is truly pushing it to its limits.

Bautista previously competed in MotoGP for nine ꧒y♌ears.

He is now 38 years old.

He ha🌠d previously said: “After I won the World Championship in WorldSBK, I asked Ducati to have a test♉ with the MotoGP bike because, from the outside, it seems like a really fun bike. 

“We w🧸ill do the test very soon. I don’t do the test with an intention to do a wildcard. 

“I’d like to dꦏo the test and le🔴t’s see what happens. 

“I don’t think there’s a ♈lot of chance to repeat what Troy Bayliss did in 2006. It was another time and it was different.&nbs൩p;

“At the moment, in my mind, it’s only the World Superbik✨e Championship. I just take the test like a prize and don’t think about Troy Baylis🎃s.”
