VR46 Academy star Celestino Vietti describes his experience trying the Ducati MotoGP bike at the Valencia test as requiring a riding style “more or less similar” to Moto2. Vietti filled in for Franco Morbidelli in the Valencia MotoGP test after Morbidelli’s wrist injury in a startline crash. Despite being 3.138s off the best pace and 1.314s behind rookie Diogo Moreira, Vietti completed 24 laps on the Desmosedici, noting similarities in braking zones and riding style between Moto2 and MotoGP. Vietti found the MotoGP bike impressively fast on straights and the braking power impressive. He expressed gratitude to Ducati, VR46, and his Moto2 team, acknowledging the physical demands of the MotoGP bike compared to Moto2. Vietti, entering his sixth Moto2 season next year, believes the test was a team present and an extra motivation to excel in Moto2 for potential future MotoGP opportunities.
