Ducati's Jorge Lorenzo set an outright lap record on the final day of MotoGP testing at Sepang but says that only proves the Desmosedici is fast over a one lap.

The former champion 'didn't have the chance' to run full race simulation in Malaysia so still doesn't know how the new bike will perform over a 20-lap run but was full of praise for Ducati who, he says, have made all the difference.

"For this track the new bike is better to be fast for one lap. We have to see for all the race because we didn’t have the chance to make a full simulation. The feelings are very good. As I said on the first day, this bike gives me more confidence and it’s more adapted to my riding," Lorenzo said at the track.

“The bike turns better and I can open the throttle before. Finally if the bike itself turns better and you can open the throttle better, you can be faster. Let’s say that during the last year, I made 80 percent and now during this winter to this test, as I predicted, Ducati made the difference this time.”
