Jorge Martin: Not just me vs Pecco, “Aleix doing a great job, Enea will arrive”
Jorge Martin declares he’s ready to start 🅷the 2024 MotoGP season after set-up breakthrough with new Duca🍨ti fairing.
The Qatar MotoGP test began as the Sepang test had ended, with reigning champion 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Francesco Bagnaia and title runner-up 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Jorge Martin first and second on the timesheets.
Once again, the margin between them wꦏas a mere 0💧.2s as both worked to fine-tune the latest parts for the Desmosedici GP24.
Bagnaia was seen followin🥃g Martin in the closing stages of Monday’s track time, adding to the impression that this season could turn into ‘round two’ of last year’s title duel🐽.
“I knew he was there on the last lap I did [but] I was already♕ with a really used tyre,” Martin told MotoGP.com.
“Yeah, he followed me, it's OK. I followed him also one time and I think we are working🌼 on t🌠he same page, let's say, because we are trying to make the new bike work.
“We are not in the sꦚame team but we are in the same factory, so we are working with the same target.”
The five-time MotoGP race winner also insisted there are a lot of othe💙r fast riders ready to fight at the front.
“Also Aleix is doing a great job, Enea will arrive. There are a lot of🔥 riders that can do it, so I'll focus o⛄n myself, trying to improve and be fast,” he said.
Aprilia’s Espargaro topped the timesheets on his way to third place (+0.292s) with Bagnaia’s factory team-mate Enea Bastianini a✅lso featuring at the sharp end on his way to eighth (+0.549s).
Nonetheless, a 'happy' Martin warned that he has found a comfortable set-up for the new Ducati fairing and is🍎 ready to start racing.
“I’m happy. Finally, I found a good base I think for the new season,” he said. 𒉰“I've been struggling a bit with the new fairing to find how to make it work and finally today I feel like we did a great job.
“I think we are ready for the season to start. Hopefully tomorrow we can work a bit more on the setup and try to improve a little bit the pace, but overall I'm quite happy꧅.”
Martin is again joined by Ducati test rider Michele Pirro withꩵ team-mate Franco Morbidelli still unable to ride due to last month’s superbike training acওcident.
However, 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Mor💝bidelli is present as a spectator in Qata𒉰r.
Peter has been in the paddock for 20 years and has seen Valentino Rossi come and go. He is at tওhe forefront of the Suzuki exit story and Marc Marquez’s injury issues.
