Luca Marini: ‘I expected to struggle less, you need to push like hell’
Luca Marini says Honda stillജ has a lot to work on after a difficult second day at the Sepang MotoGP test.

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Luca Marini was unable to match the strong pace set by team-mate Joan Mir on day-two of the Sepang MotoGP test, as he struggled with used tyres.
Marini put together a 13-lap race simulation before lunch, setting ten 1m 59s lap times in that same stinꦜt.

- Alex Marquez’s Ducati is “worse than 2022, we need to adap♋t better”
But the Italian expected more after a solid opening day: “It was difficult. We struggled quite a bit. Today we tried many t🧸hings and we arrived at the race simulation with one pa𓂃ckage that is still not ready.
“Not r💯eady with the 🉐setting I want to say. We need to work more with my crew chief. We are still going in a good direction but we need more time.
“I expected more from the race simulation but when the tyre drops the riding changes quite a bit. It is difficult to keep pushing with good laꦫp times.
“We know what we need to improve💫 but we need time.”
The struggles for Marini were largel🧸y on used tyres, w♍hile team-mate Mir showed promise during his fresh rubber stint.
“I ex♌pected to struggle less but with new tyres, it is not so bad,” said Marini. “If you look at the time from Joan it is very good.
“You need to risk a lot and you need to push like hell to do a 1m 57s right now. The bike w💯orks but with used tyres we are struggling a lot.
“It looks like t༺he difference is a lot. The gap between first and us with used tyres is more than just the six tenths to Joan compared to Jorge in the qualifying lap.”
Day-two saw rider🎶s test some of Michelin’s new fron💝t tyre allocation and Marini was pleased with the results.
But when asked if manufacturers were purposely making their riders follow each other in order to gain data on how they behave behind another rider, Marini༒ refuted that idea and said it was for the aero ef🐭fect.
Marini stated: “This is not for the tyres. I think for aerodynamics. Aprilia were all three of them together and I think for the heat, t🧸he temperature of the bike, how you feel on your body.
"Aprilia also struggled a lot in the past year, so it’s to understand a little bit on the aerodynamic side whatಌ changes on the bike.
“Wh🌟en you follow anoth🐼er rider it is quite a different situation.”
