Ducati urge caution after MotoGP Sepang test: “Francesco Bagnaia told us one weak point, Enea Bastianini said the same…”
The MotoGP Sepang test appeared to be largely positive for the Italian team, especia൲lly compared to last year, as they bid to resume their place on top of the sport.
Bagnaia was second-fastest on Sunday behind VR46 Mooney rider 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Luca Marini, while 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Marco Bezzecchi went quickest on Friday then Pramac’s 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Jorge Martin topped the timesheets on Saturday.
Ducati team manager Davide Tardozzi has urged caution: “We are doing exactly the testing plan as ꦑwe scheduled. Some things were good, other things wer🌃e not.
“W🧸e are qui🃏te happy with the overall performance of the Ducati riders.
“The new bike will be decided only in Portim🔴ao. So we have to wait.
“We worked on the 2023 bikes for one-and-a-half days.ꦰ We steppꩲed back on the 2022 bike just to see what the difference was.
“Marini🐼 and Bezzecchi and the Gresinꦍi riders showed that it is still a good bike!
“Pecco told us that there arಞe good points on the 2023𒀰 bike, but one main weak point compared to the 2022, which we must work on.
“It gives us only a sm෴all amount of time in Portimao to fix it. We must suit the world champion’s request.
“En🎉ea made the same comments. It is something that doesn’t make him comfortable with his riding style.”
Bagnaia had previously said: “I feel great with the bike and in that moment I’m quite sure that I will follow, and I really want to fo🐻llow the work with the 2023ඣ [bike] because it’s a step in front."
He also said on Sunday: "Until the first exit after lunch I was struggling with the elevation because it was very nervous and it wa𒊎s very difficult to open full tꦑhrottle because the bike was moving a lot and sliding a lot.
"In the same moment that we solved it we changed th💯at part of elevation and eve🍷rything was like using the 2022 bike but with more speed.”
Bastianini said on Saturday: "Yeah, the new 𓆏bike is fast. But for me, at the mome🐎nt it is difficult to bring the speed and to exit fast from the corner because I’m not really confident with the rear, with the new bike.”
