Full Story: BSN 13 November 2011

Ducati bosses have joined rider Valentino Rossi in welcoming a relaxation of the MotoGP testing rules in 2012, saying that it is better to pay the nine-time world champion to ride the Desmosedici GP12 than to sleep! reports BSN.

Technical chief Filippo Preziosi said:

"For sure in an economical situation like this, having Valentino Rossi sleeping in his room paid by us instead of riding our bike and giving us information, it seems not the more efficient way to use our money. So this is something that, especially because we have to save money, so there is a rule that limits the test you can do, which is 240 tyres,"
