Particularly noticeable was the evidence of Ducati’s traction control, especially in Stoner's hands. From the staccato hammering of his GP8 as he exited the chicane, it appeared he was letting the electronics do the work, grabbing a whole lot of throttle and relying on the software to manage the power as it produced that very distinctive cracking sound. When Stoner gained enough speed, the usual angry scream of the Desmoseidici returned as he charged toward Melbourne. The other Ducatis exhibited similar sounds on the exit of the chicane, but none as pronounced as Stoner’s. read more
