Nicky Hayden is ready to contest the final round of the 2012 season before turning his attention to 2013 during the post-race test session on Tuesday.
"We have a couple of small updates to try, but it takes time to prepare new parts - the Kentucky Kid said - The new bike should be ready for the Jerez or Sepang tests. I don't know Dovizioso very well, but he's very experienced and I'm expecting some good ideas from him as a teammate. I'm also curious to see how the GP12 performs at this track with the new asphalt. It should be better than Phillip Island, where the bumps were a big problem for us."

Valentino Rossi spoke on Sunday of the frustration he has suffered over the past two years with Ducati. After two years with the iconic Italian factory, the gap to the front runners remains the same, and the problems Rossi noted at the first test in Valencia 2010 are still there. Now, he told the press, his focus is on riding the Yamaha M1 again, to assess just what the damage of his two years at Ducati has been. Whether any of the riders heading to Ducati for 2013 would be able to master the Ducati was still open, Rossi said.
The Italian was philosophical after the race at Phillip Island, having finished a mediocre seventh, some 37 seconds behind the winner at a track where Rossi once won five years in a row. He brushed off the question of whether the result was a bad one or not with a quip. "I expected more! Yesterday, I was 2 seconds behind, 2 seconds for 27 laps, I expect 54 seconds! So was a good race," Rossi joked.
