Andrea Dovizi🀅oso is already feeling more confident about his prospects at Ducati for 2014 after the Italian completed his testing programme꧒ in Valencia.

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

Altho🐼ugh the experienced Moto🦩GP 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 Ducati Corse General Manager.

"We had a few small things to tr💛y, 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 really, really good, so we were ableౠ to make a good lap time, but the other riders also did really fast laps.

"This test serve🔜d more to familiarise Gigi [Dall'Igna] and to provide feedback to him to apply during his development work for next year," added 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 preparin🌃g for an 'intense' winter period of development prior 𒈔to 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 all the people, try to understand the problems with the bike and analyse all the avai🔴lable means that seem to be different from what I was used to before," he said.

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