168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Takaaki Nakagami didn’t hesitate to pinpoint what he feels is the biggest improvement on the latest 2024 Honda MotoGP prototype.

After debuting a heavily rev🌸ised RC213V during last November’s Valencia test, HRC has also brought another new bi😼ke for the pair of Sepang tests.

The main change from the Valencia bike (also present in Malaysia) is the engine cha꧒racter.

For Nakagami, preparing to start his seventh season in MotoGP with LCR, the latest powerplant not only raises the performance bar but 🅺addresses his long-held wish for a user-friendly tꦗhrottle connection, rather than relying on electronics.

“It was good. We had so many options to try and also the new bi﷽ke,” Nakagami told MotoGP.com. “Everything is going well.

“Mainly I felt like the engine character is much more😼 positive, much ea🗹sier to control by the throttle. 

"The engine also has more po♌tential, more tor🎶que and top speed.

“Everything [about] the new engine chara🐈cter is much more positive. All Honda riders are saying the same. 

"It looks like we find a way, the concept. N🔯ow we have another three days to try different geometry and electronics.

“We have many ඣthings to test but the first impression was good.”

Nakagami set the tentཧh fastest lap time, 0.883s from KTM rookie Pedro Acosta.

Like Yamaha, the four Honda race riders were able to attend the Shakedown due to the new concession rules, which will also allow them ღto m💙odify their engine design throughout the season.
