Rins closed out the 2022 seaso✤n as one of the most in-form MotoGP riders afteꦇr claiming two wins from the final three races.

However, with Honda’s struggles of the past few seasons, which seem to be continuing during pre-season albeit not to the level of which they struggled in 2021 and 22, R♐ins is keen avoid turning his new bi🍬ke into a similar version of the GSX-RR.

• Ducati ཧurge caution: “Bagnaia told us one weak point, Bastianini said the ♈same…”

"I don’t want to make the Honda into a Suzuki," said Rins after the second day of the Sepang test. "The f🔯irst day comparing the data and comparing the other riders I was a bit sl🍃ow in the fast corners or during a lot of metres. 

"Now, it’s much better. What we need to improve from my side - when I saw som♚e videos of m🐽e comparing another rider is that we have a lot of movement on the brakes at the rear of the bike."

Despite needing to make improvements aboard the LCR Honda in order to replicate his success in the final few raꦐces last season, Rins stated he’s happy with the level of progression that’s been sh🎃own.

Rins added: "More-or-less the feeling with the bike is good. I’m ಞfeeling good on the brakes, feeling good on the middle of the corner, exiting, but still we are far away from the fastest guy. But we are on a good way."

Sprint simulation half a second off Marini - will Ducati dominate MotoGP in 2023?

Ducati topped all three days of the Sepang MotoGP Test, which included doing so with three different riders.&ꦡnbsp;

Honda on the other hand were very far away from topping the leaderboard - 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Marc Marquez was the quickest of its four riders on two of the three days 𝕴- Rins was top Honda on day two, although൩ neither got within four tenths of the quickest time on any occasion.

Gi🦹ven the prowess shown by Ducati, especially over one lap in recent times, it’s no surprise that time is needed for Honda to match their level of performance, however, it also appears as though the new Sprint race format coul🦋d be a challenge.

Rins did a Sprint simulation during the final day and was around 0.5s down on 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Luca Marini, on average, as the Italian ended tꦓhe test fastest. 

"I don’t have a lot of kilometres ൩with this bike but I can feel good things, some bad things and some things to improve," said Rins at the close of play. "Also, we did a sprint race simulation. 

"We were comp🌊aring against Marini and he was at the same time doing the sprint simulation. We were 0.5s slower compared to him in race pace. 

"We still haven’t got a clear base set-up. After the sprint simulation and the fastest lap time ไ༒[time attack] we tried a different electronics [package] and I felt more confidence. But there is still a lot of work to do."
