The Ducati Marlboro MotoGP team is traveling this time to Malaysia for the next round of the championship.
Livio Suppo, the MotoGP Director from the Ducati Team is hopeful to get good results, Ducati’s winter test went well and Casey and Marco both have good past records at the track.
Casey Stoner, 2nd in the championship on 245 points gives his preview: “Over the last few rounds we’ve managed to set a good pace in all of the dry practice sessions and struggled a little bit in the wet.
We think we found a good wet setting in Australia so unless there’s an unexpected problem that crops up we should be okay for any conditions at Sepang.
I like the track and I’ve got good memories because I’ve won there in every category – 125cc, 250cc (2004 and 2005) and MotoGP.
The track is a good mix, there are some fast corners with a lot of lean angle and some tight ones that aren’t much fun.
We’ll give our best to finish the season in a positive way, with some good results, although to be honest my mind is on the test at the end of the season at Valencia, when we can start to work on the new Desmosedici.
”Teammate, the Italian Marco Melandri, 16th in the championship and with 51 points said: “The last few races have been really difficult and I’m obviously disappointed because I wanted to end the season with a run of decent results.
Anyway, the only way thing to do is to consider each race as an individual event and start from zero.
So I’ll try to do that in Malaysia, where I had a good race last year and finished on the podium.
