Cal Crutchlow has drawn the conclusion it is impossible to go any faster on the 2013 Desmosedici after matching the laptimes of Andrea Dovizioso, give or take a tenth.

The Isle of Man resident ended the three-day session with a time of 1’31.875, two-tenths slower than the Italian, after changing all manner of setup parameters. But he says that the bike he rode in Spain is a lot different to the one he is expecting to test at Sepang in February.

“We made a lot of changes to the bike, up, down, left, right and I had the same feeling with a lot of them. We changed the bike once to stop wheelying but gave away a lot of front-end feeling which we didn’t have really anyway. It’s good, it’s all information for the guys, which is what I wanted to do,” said Crutchlow, speaking at Valencia.

“From laptimes, and from riding against people I have beaten all year, I am not as fast on the Ducati as I was with the previous manufacturer. I don’t believe this will be the bike for next year anyway. Everything I have said is the same as every other rider has said. I said it after the first day and I am saying it now, so nothing has changed.
