Nicky Hayden is to spend Wednesday and Thursday testing the Ducati GP12 at Mugello. The American is to make up for the time he lost over the winter, after injuring himself first at Valencia, and then riding indoor flat track at home in Kentucky. Those injuries limited Hayden's time working on the set up of his GP12 at the Sepang tests, and so the American is to spend the next two days concentrating on making up for lost time.
The real test work will be done by Ducati's official test rider Franco "Iron Frank" Battaini. The Italian veteran is evaluating new parts for the GP12, and once he has given them the seal of approval, they will be passed to Nicky Hayden and Valentino Rossi for further evaluation, before being used at a race weekend.
Below is the official press release from Ducati:
