Two races still to go, but Casey Stoner is already thinking about testing next year's Ducati Desmosedici GP9.

"Sepang is a 'friendly' circuit for us," stated Ducati MotoGP project director Livio Suppo. "We went well there in winter testing and both Casey and Marco have good records at this circuit. Hopefully we can maintain that tradition!"

Melandri finished second to Stoner at Sepang in 2007.

"The last few races have been really difficult and I'm obviously disappointed because I wanted to end the season with a run of decent results," said the 2009 Kawasaki rider. "Anyway, the only way thing to do is to consider each race as an individual event and start from zero. So I'll try to do that in Malaysia, where I had a good race last year and finished on the podium."
