Barbera: "The Ducati looks like another bike"

Barbera said about his first contact with the 1000cc motorcycle at the Circuit of Valencia that it "was perfect" after shooting the Valencia track 25 laps. "It's a very different bike 800cc and now we are starting. The engine is more progressive, has a power greater and sweeter. It seems another bike, I was reminded more than 250cc Aprilia 800cc for this year "he said.

"It's been a very positive start. We have to start from scratch, but what was needed," stated the Valencian rider, who during the morning to two seconds has been the best time of Australian Casey Stoner.

Barbera summarized some of the changes the bike compared to the season that ended last Sunday at Valencia, which ran with the Aspar Team Ducati. "You can feel the connection between the front and rear, including the shifter is much faster. I have to adjust my position on the bike, which is also much more agile in changing direction. Change in everything, not is comparable to the previous one, "stressed the Pramac Racing rider.

He also stressed that the 1000cc bike, which is testing a version of "laboratory" that will not come out to the track in the 2012 season, "is more abrupt and demands a lot more strength."
