Bautista is the fastest Ducati rider. I kind of expected that, but Davies is much slower than I expected.
What does it mean? The new Ducati needs lots of development? If true, then Bautista may become real threat when Ducati get their ducks in a row.
 
its only testing, both riders were probably trying to figure different setting out, until the first round at Philip Island there is no way to know what the team is going for set up wise.
 
True.

As a matter of fact I didn't like this twin vs. four at all. Looking forward to see what Ducati can do now with same rules applied.

Alright, what is it. Ducati extremely well suited for Phillip Island or Bautista is becoming a major power in WSBK?
 
When Ducati entered the MotoGP they caught everybody pants down, their horsepower was unprecedented at the time. Ducati literally disappeared in straights. Didn't mean the bike was the fastest around the circuit.

They have almost 2,000rpm more than the Kawis. Way faster down the chute!

Weird that Dorna would give another 4 cylinder a 1600-1700 rev advantage which they will carry for the first 3 races even if it turns out to be a hugely unfair advantage. Most all other bikes are in the 14400 to 14900 range as far as the limits set for each manufacturer
