Ducati team 1-2 on opening day in Sepang

Casey Stoner proves he is still quick

Riders completed the first day of official IRTA MotoGP testing in 2017 at the Sepang International circuit in Malaysia. Good weather conditions (max temperature: 31Â° C air, 42Â° ground) favored day one of the first MotoGP pre-season test until rain began falling at 4 p.m.

Ducati test rider Casey Stoner set the pace on the first day with a time of 1m59.681s on the 2017 Ducati just after 1pm local time, beating the Italian manufacturer's race rider Andrea Dovizioso at the top of the order.

Dovizioso finished 0.115 seconds slower than Stoner, while new Ducati hire Jorge Lorenzo was way down in 17th, 1.669s adrift.
