Desmosedici riders hoping to exploit horsepower advantage at Shanghai.

For Guintoli, a repeat of the rain storm that flooded the inaugural 2005 Chinese MotoGP would be welcome - after showing impressive speed in the wet Estoril sessions - but hopes he can be competitive whatever the weather.

"In China it could rain at any moment, and after having seen how I did in the warm at Estoril with wet track, I can be positive if one day we'll meet a race with the track completely wet," said the Frenchman. "But we don't have to think about this right now.

"I like Shanghai circuit and I am sure that the power of our Ducati Desmosedici GP8 will help us a lot. Last year on the longest straight, their speed was impressive. Also Bridgestone is really strong here. At Estoril we have found some interesting solutions and we believe to be able to continue improving also in Shanghai. My technicians and the Team deserve a good result and I will give my best to conquer it," he declared.
