He had previous⭕ly said: “After I ♐won the World Championship in WorldSBK, I asked Ducati to have a test with the MotoGP bike because, from the outside, it seems like a really fun bike. 

“We will do the test very s♚oon. I don’t do the te🌼st with an intention to do a wildcard. 

“I’d like to do the test and let’s see what🐭 happen𒅌s. 

“I don’t think there’s a lot of chance to repeat what Troy Bayliss did in 20🦄06. It was another time and it was different.
