After over 18 months away from riding a MotoGP bike, former World Championship runner-up Sete Gibernau will make his return to action next week with Ducati. The Spaniard will test both the Desmosedici GP8 and GP9 at the Mugello circuit, alongside official test rider Vittoriano Guareschi.
闊別motogp有18個月之久的著名車手吉布諾,下星期將返會到度卡迪。

The possibility of Gibernau aiding the Italian factory´s development program was raised last weekend, when the retired rider was present in the paddock at the Gran Premi Cinzano de Catalunya. Ducati were receptive to the offer, and will gather data and feedback from Gibernau in a three day run from June 17th-19th.
上週末在加泰隆尼亞,退休的吉布諾簡直是天上掉下的禮物,義大利車廠提出請他協助發展的計畫,吉布諾答應了,並將在六月17-19日三天進行測試收集數據的工作。

I´m honoured by this possibility that Ducati has given me,´ said Gibernau. `I´m very excited and I´m in perfect shape, even if it has been a while since I have been on a GP bike. It is just a test but I´ll give my absolute maximum. I can´t wait to enjoy once again the feeling of bringing a MotoGP machine to its limit.´
我很榮幸度卡迪給我這個機會,吉布諾說:我非常興奮而且我的狀況非常優,雖然有一段時間沒有在gp,但我會盡我最大全力。我已等不及再次享受讓 MotoGP 的極限。

Gibernau´s last ride with Ducati machinery was in October 2006, at the Portuguese round of his solitary year with the Italian factory. An injury suffered in a collision with current Ducati Marlboro rider Casey Stoner drew his season to a premature end on that occasion, and the veteran announced his retirement soon after.
吉布諾最後一次與度卡迪合作 是2006年10月的葡萄牙站,他與Casey Stoner的碰撞使他尚未痊癒的鎖骨再度受損,因此提前結束本賽季,之後便宣佈退休了。

`We were happy to see Sete so excited at the possibility of riding a MotoGP bike again, and it was this enthusiasm that led to the possibility of organising this test together´, said General Director of Ducati Corse Filippo Preziosi, present in Catalunya to watch the first regular rider tests of the GP9. He also hailed the progression afforded by the addition of Gibernau to the testing lineup.
“我們非常高興看到小吉如此興奮再次騎乘motogp車子,這股熱情促使測試計畫得以實現。“ 豬腳蹄車隊經理Filippo Preziosi說,

`The tests we carried out with the GP9 in Catalunya earlier this week gave good feedback and, by having Sete and Vito testing alongside each other, we will be able to carry out a wide range of more intensive tests with our GP8 and GP9 machines.´

Another Ducati test rider, Niccolo Canepa, will next week test Bridgestone tyres at Brno in the Czech Republic. Ducati´s plans for the season involve regular monthly tests, although whether Gibernau´s participation in the program will be repeated further along the line remains to be seen.
