“I was also able to do a race simulation for both the Sꦏuperpole Race and long race. It’s very hard to compare, 💜but it was very competitive and could be a fast race pace compared to last year.
🍌“With that information and how the track conditions were today, at least we have good 🌟data to try to improve.
“We can be satisfied with the result and now we can start the “real work” to prepare further. The team worked in a really good way all through th♔e test – we ran out of time you could say, as there’s always more boxes you could tick but I started to r🌜eally feel more confident with the R1.
“Y🏅amaha and the guys in Milan 🌌have done a lot of positive work and I feel like I can get stuck in and ride the bike and have fun.
“I had a smile on my face most of the test and always want more! We can be happy with the job we have done here and the progress made since Australia. It gives me a lot of confidence – I feel good and rea🌺dy to start the weekend.”
Spea꧟king about the atmosphere within 📖the team, which would have no doubt been tested following such a difficult season-opener, Rea is very glad to have team principal Paul Denning by his side.
“Since I’ve joined, Paul Denning’sꦐ been amazing,” added Rea. “You think the issues and results we had at Phillip Island people would be a bit flat.
“It’s where I felt the strength in my previous team was, where you think the c🐼hips🐷 are down and people start looking at you to make the difference.
“This team’s amazing, it’s the sam🔯e or better where p♕eople get behind you and Paul’s an integral part of bringing that atmosphere.
“He♔ always gets involved, wants to know what’s going on, which is nice. It’s always nice to please the boss🐎.
“You feel a bit like a dog: you always want to please your owner… th♓at’s what it’s like as a motorbike rider, you always want to please your team manager and crew chief and make people happy.
“I feel like a dog, basically! I want to finish three races and score good, strong points. To race for the win here, we need some improvements. I feel like🐬 we can fight for a podium.”
