The 3C-Racing Team tested this week together with Ducati in Jerez (Spain). The Ducati MotoGP, WSBK and IDM team shared the track during this exclusive, private practice session with the superbike works teams from Aprilia, Honda, Kawasaki and Suzuki.

The team was able to work out a good basis setup right from day one and make great progress compared to Almería. Both drivers turned in phenomenal times on standard Pirelli tyres, confidently reaching positions in the middle of the elite WSBK field.
 
Max Neukirchner even broke the Ducati works ensemble record on Tuesday with an amazing time of 1:41.449 and reached second place in the unofficial time list. He thereby slashed almost two seconds off his Jerez qualifying time of last year (on a WSBK bike, mind you). Xavi Forés also turned in a strong performance with a time of 1:42.083 and he was particularly impressed by the Pirelli tyres.
