Lorenzo Savadori is carrying the bulk of Aprilia’s test duties that should have been 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Jorge Martin’s responsibility.

MotoGP champion Martin has been ruled out of the fin🥂al two days of the official Sepang test after a ⛦heavy crash on Wednesday.

Trackhouse’s Raul 𒀰Fernandez also crashed and injured himself on Wednesday, leaving Aprilia short of 50% of their rider line-up.

Test rider Savadori is therefore tasked withꦅ repl🃏acing Martin.

“We don’t have my test bike, we have the official riders’ bike,” 🧸Savadori said on Thursday in Se𒊎pang.

“We tried different aerodynam🉐ics and a different electronic system.

“We are focused on developing the bike, not on perf🌸ormance. We need to understand some solutඣions better.

“Some parts,ꦗ we have used for the first time here. At the sܫhakedown, we did not have time.”

Savadori insists that Aprilia a💦re making pro꧟gress with their problem of stopping the bike.

“Yes. Th𒊎is bike is a step forward compa⛎red to the old one, including in brake performance,” he said.

“It is never eℱnough. But it’s a little step in the ✃correct way.”

The im🌼provement is both in the bike dynamics and engine braking.

“A mix,” Savadori sai🌸d. “The RS-25 does not have big chang🌜es. In general, the behaviour of the bike and the balance was good. We improved in some areas.”

Aprilia have improved their power delivery, enꩲgine braking and tr🐲action control, Savadori insists.

“In all p🦩hases, we madܫe adjustments and improvements,” he said.

But their issue with their reওar tyre persists, and hasn’t yet been solved.

“It's not a simple job to do,” Savadori said.

“With me, in this test, we are working for this. It’s not as simple ꧃as touching the electronics𒊎.

“You need to unde𝓡rstand the direction and analyse the data, it is a big 🎀job.

“Unfortunately Jorge is not here to ride. I am riding for this reasᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚon.”

Savadori 𓆏has also been unable to work on the Aprilia’s efficiency in different temperatures.

“Honestly, I have not had the time ꦛ🅰to try this,” he said.

“For Aprilia, ꦬthe shakedown was a shakedown for three days! I tested the bike, if everything worked well.

“ඣI didn’t have time to try everything. During this test, maybe we will try.”
