Valentino Rossi testing a Jerez, is no news good news?

Ducati has decided to keep a very low profile on this seventh test of the GP12 (GP12.
2) with Valentino Rossi at the Jerez de la Frontera.
Infact, their profile is so low that they didn’t even put out the usual press release on this latest test nor are there any spy shots (yet) of Rossi or test rider Franco Battaini on this further upgraded bike, so is this good or bad? Maybe Ducati has suddenly become secretive because they finally found something or they’re just tired of being harassed for info 24/7.

Private tests almost never reveal lap times, but dozens of rumors flitted through the social networks yesterday evening (so take it all with a grain of salt) saying that Rossi tested a complete aluminium chassis and that his times were near that of Casey Stoner’s when the Repsol Honda tested the RC213V for the very first time at Jerez.
Lap time rumors are worth squat, as no one outside Honda, Stoner and his crew know what exact times he posted at the Spanish track in May, and Honda’s engineers haven’t been twidling their thumbs as development work continues on the 1000cc bike.
