“Not on another level but they are one step more competitive than us,” Espargaro told MotoGP.com. “On the time attack, if we want to fight with them we need a little bit more power🦹.

“In terms of pace; I crashed ꧃on lap seven or eight of my𒈔 race simulation but I have been very, very strong. 

“We can be closer on raceday. But you need to do a good qualifying but we are mꦿissing something. With extra grip we cannot really use it.”

Not for the lack of trying, Espargaroℱ says he’s doing everything within his power to close the gap to Ducati.

The top eight i𒉰nclu🌸ded five Ducatis, as Espargaro (third), Raul Fernandez (fifth) and Maverick Vinales (sixth) provided the biggest challenge on day-two in Qatar.

“I’m trying everything d♑uring these days to be closer over one lap because I know it is very important,” added Espargaro.

“I felt like I was on the limit of the bike. In the race simulation I was able to do a couple of laps in the 1m 51s but I was able t♔o go a lot faster with the soft tyre.

“Wඣith the medium tyre I’m happy and very fast but with🧸 the soft tyre we need to improve.”

Espargaro’s best time was w൩ell under the official lap record, but Bagnaia was over three tenths clear which is why Espargaro sees the world champion as the clear favourite.

Ask🌞ed to predict who the rider to beat is, Espargaro said: “The world champion. This is why he has the number one on his fairin๊g.

“Doubl🌜e time world champion and he looks strong. He’s looked strong since the beginning. He is the rider to beat.”
