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 re🍰vised RC213V during last Noཧvember’s Valencia test, HRC has also brought another new bike for the pair of Sepang tests.

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

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 throttle connection, rather than relying on electr🦹onics.

“I🍨t was good. We had so many options to try and also the♏ new bike,” Nakagami told MotoGP.com. “Everything is going well.

“Mainly I felt like the engine character is much more positive, ﷽much easier to control by the throttle๊. 

"The engine also has more potential, ꧟more torque and top sp🌃eed.

“Everyth🔯ing [about] th𓂃e new engine character is much more positive. All Honda riders are saying the same. 

"It looks like we find a way, the concept. Now꧃ we have another three days to try diff♎erent geometry and electronics.

“We have many things to test but the f🌜irst impression ꦆwas good.”

Nakagami set the tenth fastest lꦰap ti🧔me, 0.883s from KTM rookie Pedro Acosta.

Like Yamaha, the f💮our Honda race riders were able to attend the Sཧhakedown due to the new concession rules, which will also allow them to modify their engine design throughout the season.
