Ellison, Pedercini ready after double test.

Team Pedercini concluded its pre-season preparations with four-days of testing, split between two different Spanish circuits, after which team prinipcal Donato Pedercini declared rider Dean Ellison ready for the forthcoming World Superbike season.

The privateer Italian team began at Valencia, then moved to the similarly technical Cartagena circuit to refine rider 'feel' and suspension settings.

"These tests have been very useful," declared Pedercini. "We have worked well with the Superbike and Ellison is now ready for the forthcoming Superbike season. Our objective will be to pick up as many points as possible in what will be the Ducati 999's final season."
