Gibernau Ends the Ducati Testing Session at Mugello
31 July 2008
Sete Gibernau finished a two-days testing session he was taking part in at Mugello together with the Official Testers Vittoriano Guareschi and Niccola Canepa that will continue tomorrow for the final day. The Spanish rider, back in action for the third time after retiring almost two years ago, kept up an excellent pace, lapping consistently in around 1m50.5 with race tyre. Despite the difficult climatic conditions, with scorching air and track temperatures, Gibernau clocked an impressive fastest lap time in 1m48.9 with qualifying tyres. A crash around the end of the day, luckily without consequences, has nevertheless suggested to end the test early given the good job already made during two days.

Positive End to Three-Day Test in Mugello with Gibernau
03 July 2008
The three-day test session at the Tuscan track of Mugello has concluded in a positive fashion for Sete Gibernau. The Spanish rider has clocked up a great deal of kilometres on track (around 800kms in total) first with the GP9, then with the GP8, finishing with a final exit on the GP9 for a back to back comparison. In this, only his second test session after nearly two years away from the tracks, Gibernau has proved that he still has the speed and is also more than competent in providing the Ducati Corse engineers with useful feedback for the development of the Desmosedici.
