Indeed, after the economic crisis hit the world MotoGP issued a policy to limit the number of trials, as the savings effort. Ducati really feel the impact of the rule, where they do not have the flexibility in testing. Rossi and Nicky Hayden had only a few opportunities to try new motor, so the process of development of the Desmosedici was running perfectly.

Although he was trying to get around the rule that limitation by using power test rider, Franco Battaini and Vittoriano Guareschi team boss, but the results were not optimal. As a result, the Desmosedici GP11 is not competitive when fighting with two other factory teams, Honda and Yamaha.

Rossi includes people who are very furious with the rules of the trial restrictions. "The Doctor" said that Ducati suffered heavy losses with the rule.

In the course of the 2011 season, Ducati tries some radical changes to overcome the problem of front-end. But all these efforts did not produce encouraging results, and the team based in Bologna is only two times bring pebalapnya podium.

Well, for the Desmosedici GP12, Ducati switched to conventional chassis, the aluminum pole twins. Motor to the era of 1,000 cc engine was expected to make Ducati more competitive in the 2012 season. The existence of permission to conduct more trials, which agreed last weekend in the Grand Prix Commission meeting in Madrid, making Ducati happy.

The new rules allow the Ducati, Honda, and Yamaha, using 240 (120 sets) Bridgestone tires with a contracted rider. This is what makes Burgess very happy.

"For us to be more competitive, we need to do a test with the rider in the IMA. We have an obligation to Ducati and Ducati fans themselves, so competitive, and if we were behind, then we need to test with the drivers of our contract," said The Australian men.

"That is the only way we can move forward. Other companies will have the same rules, and if you do not need a test, you do not have to do it. We just wanted to be closer to that in the future. We have a test rider, but with respect , they only been able to take the bike, but we want input from the rider in MotoGP.

"And it's not just a Valentino, but all the Ducati riders. We need to work together and try as soon as possible so that the motor can develop. When you are under, you need to immediately improve the speed to be above.

Burgess admitted that Ducati development fairly quickly so that it can be a champion in 2007. But after that, from 2008 to 2010, its development into a very slow compared to other plants, especially Yamaha, Honda before rising in 2011.
