168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Jack Miller has delivered an optimistic assessment of KTM’s readiness for the 2024 MotoGP season.

The Austrian manufacturer caught the eye during the threඣe-day preseason Sepang ♎test, along with Aprilia, by using bold aerodynamics.

And Pedro Acosta, the prodigious rookie with Tech3 GASGAS, shone particularly on the opening day to rais🦄e optimism within the KTM camp.

Factory rider Miller said: “The bike is working pretty well. I’m really happy with the improve🎐ments we’ve made throughout the๊ winter.

♒“I did the fastest lap that I’ve ever dꦚone, around here.

“Still a second off the other boys, so we need to find a little bit more. Bu♔t we’ll find it come race time.

“I feel more confident going into rဣacing this year than I did last year.

“We were able to ir꧃on 🉐out some of the things that we needed to, to understand the package going forward.

“Anot♌her positive day. I’m keen for a sleep, to reflect on this test, and understand where I can find another second!”

Miller confirmed that KTM have almost finalised the set-up for 🗹the bike which will begin the MotoGP season.

“Pretty much, we know wha🥃t we want,” he said. “Some verꩲsion of it. We’ve tried countless version this week.

“We have a🥃 clear understandingꦺ. We know where we’re going.

“In terms of electronics, whatever we’ve brought has been a big imp🅘rovement.

“There are still things to iron out with it, obvi🌸ously being a new system.

“But it’s working really well.”

Miller 𒁏said about similarities to the 2023 bik⭕e: “The engine is pretty similar.

“We didn’t need to reinv𝕴ent the wheel when it comes to an engine.

“Our engine was quit🃏e strong. It needed pol𒊎ishing. And that’s what they were able to do.”

But not everything is perfect.

“My we♛akness today? When🌼 I wanted to put a time attack together, putting the rear in shape,” Miller said on Thursday.

“I had countless highside moments.

“It just comes down to… there are variables. Lean angle, position. You feel like you are driving really well, but all of a sudden you pick the⛎ bike up and the🀅 grip goes away.

“It’s all to do with electronics.”

Miller finished 11th last year, his first since swapping D♑ucati for KTM.

But he trailed teammate Brad Binder 𒉰who was an outsider in the title battle𝕴 before finishing fourth.

The pressure will ramp up, particularly on Miller, with the arrivalꦬ of Acosta into the premier class.

Miller ended Thursday, the last day of t🍎he Sepang test, 14th-quickest.

MotoGP will head to Qatar for a two-day test, the last chance for KTM🦄 to finalise how they will begin the season, before the first 🅠round in the same location on March 8-10.
