From a press release issued by Marlboro Ducati:

SECOND DAY OF TESTING AT JEREZ FOR DUCATI MARLBORO TEAM

Jerez (Spain) – Tuesday 25 November 2003 – Ducati Marlboro Team MotoGP testing – On the second day of testing at Jerez de la Frontera for the Ducati Marlboro Team, Loris Capirossi and Troy Bayliss completed 26 and 52 laps respectively with the Ducati Desmosedici after trying out a number of components for the 2004 version. The two Ducati riders had been quickest during qualifying for last May’s Spanish GP.

Yesterday’s rain made track conditions damp and slippery and despite the weather not being perfect (air 18° C max / track 24° C max), Capirossi and Bayliss today both recorded positive lap times. Loris’s quickest time was 1:44.28, while Troy got down to 1:44.33.

Tomorrow will see the third and final day of testing and an improvement in the conditions will surely enable the Ducati Marlboro Team to improve on their lap times.
