Like Repsol Honda team-mate Joan Mir, 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Luca Marini does not have the new Honda aerodynamics, so far homologated only for 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Johann Zarco and HRC wild-card Stefan Bradl, at this weekend's Catalunya MotoGP.

But he still had “one of🔯 the best Fridays of the year”, aided by the private test at𓆏 Mugello, although he remained in 22nd, ahead of only Bradl.

“Even if the classification is still very bad, the feeling of the bike has improved a lot,” said Marini, who was 1.244s from leader Aleix Espa𒈔rgaro (Aꦇprilia).

“Now I can ride the bike better, I can feel a different sen🌳sation, and it's something that I like. But still the performance is not good."

"We just need to find a🅷 little bit💞 more confidence, a little bit more speed, and then understand in which area we need to work more. 

"That for su𝓡re will include the aerodynamic side, because at that moment I will still continue with the old fairing.

“It looks like on Zarco's pace he made a good step, but he has a different [aero] package. So we need to wait until we ca🍰n try it in races, due to the homologation regulation.”

Quizzed on why he hadn’t decided to use the new fairing here, the Italian e♑xplained:

“I testౠed it. It's positive, but not enough to use an homologation. We just need a little detail more that can help us a little𒉰 bit more, so then we can homologate.”

T🌊he revised tec🐎hnical concessions mean Honda and Yamaha riders are allowed two aero updates during the season, rather than the usual single update.

Tyre wear is always a majo𒅌r factor at the low grip Barcelona circuit, but Marini said the revised Michelin rubber means it’s “30%” less significant than in the past.

“It's a little bit different [on the Honda] compared to Ducati,” said Marini, previously a VR46 Ducati rider. “In my opinion, it looks like the Duca🎉ti uses a lot more the rear tyre in braking, so they start to put some temperature in the tyre already from the braking.  But on exit they have muꦇch more grip than us.

“Also at the end, they can manage much better the tyre life than us, because for us it's very🧔 important to try to have a good acc💯eleration, but we still don't have enough grip to go with Aprilia and with KTM.

“But the tyres have improved so much that I think that this year, the management of the tyres will not be so crucial as last 🍨year. It's just a little bit less important. Like 30% less important, maybe.”
