But for the reigning world champion, focusing on h🌠imself remains the ta🍌rget as he looks to iron out small details at the next test in Sepang.
Speaking to MotoGP.com, a very happy Bagnaia said this about the new bike: “I can be happy, weℱ can be happy, Ducati can be happy. I think starting like this is the best way.&🔴nbsp;
“The feওeling was good and the new engine is working well. For sure, there are areas to improve but right now I’m happy.
“I feel great and in some areas I feel better than last year already. This is a great thin𓂃g. Still there is a big margin to improv𒈔e.”
Enea Bastianini🍬 and Jorge Martin (crashed twice🅰) both got their hands on the new bike as well, with the former finishing fastest of the trio.
But Bagnaia never set a time attack and in🗹stead concluded the test early following a very busy weekend.
While a lot of positives came with trying the new bike, Bagnaia did address the areas w🦩here improvements♚ can be made.
Bagnaia said: “We ha𝕴ve to improve the entry to the corners, we have to improve the power delivery a bit. We need more acceleration and it needs to be a bit more connected.”
