Enea Bastianini says he needs to improve sector two at the Mandalika circuit as he𓄧 will need “the perfect lap” for pole at t👍he MotoGP Indonesian Grand Prix.

The factory Ducati rider comes to this weekend’s race at Mandalika off the💖 back of his second win of the season, which puts him just 59 points back of championship leader Jorge Martin.

On Friday in Indonesia, Bastianಌini smashed the previous lap record with a 1m2𓂃9.630s to lead practice overall.

While pleased with his long run pace and one-lap speed, Bastianini has identified a weak point on the circuit he mus🧔t solve as the closeness of the pack after Friday’s running suggests an even tighter qualifyin🍃g on the horizon.

“I feel good,” he told the media, includingꦛ wuqian0821.co🥂m, on Friday.

“I’m happy about the day because this afternoon ꦅwe was fast from the start.

“But it’s not easier because the medium rear need♉s two, three laps before being ready.

“Before this you have to take some risk to be fast. But apart from this, f♚or the time attack I was ready and the bike has w♍orked very well.

“It was importಌant tౠo me to go very fast on the first tyre and in the end I make my fastest lap with the first tyre.

“Now we have to work again and💝 try to see the data b𝄹ecause the sector number two I lose every time 0.1s, 0.150s.

“And for tomorrow I have to adjust a bit this situation. For the rest, it will be importa𒀰nt to do the perfect lap tomorrow because every rider is so fast and we are very close together. We have to do it all very good.”

On the best partial times chart, Bastianini was the fastest through𓆏 sector one on Friday, but dropped to sixth in sector two before reboundingඣ into the top three in the final splits.

Looking ahead to qualifying, Bastianini 𝐆noted that he had to take some risks during his time attacks but didn’t feel like he was as on edge as some of the other riders after a spate of front end falls in the second session.

“Yeah, I risked during [my time a꧙ttack] e𓆏specially with the second tyre,” he noted.

“But very small. I see some riders with the soft on the fron⛦t. I was with the hard on the front.

“I don’t know if it’s better because I tried only this one today. But I remember lastꩵ year I did the race that tyre and it was good.”
