168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Somkiat Chantra has admitted his early strug♈gles with Hond𒁏a’s ride height device.

The MotoGP rookie spent three days testing at the Shakedown, as permitte💧d by the rules because it’s his first ye🔥ar in the class.

Chantra will be joined by other Honda riders, and their MotoGP rivals, at the🙈 three-day official Sepang test this week where he must further adapt to his machine.

“The shakedoไwn was good. We had the new bike,” Chantra said.

“Also𓂃, we were on the way to working with the bike. We were getting better.

“The differen𒆙ce from Moto2 to MotoGP? A lot of electronics, the ride device.

“Also, with the data, we worked very hard to put the r🌠ide device in the correct place. It was getting better, closer.”

Chantra was asked if he was engaging the♕ ride height device too early or too late.

“Very, very late! Compared to Takaaki Nakagami, he was much earlier t✨han me,” he replied.

Honda's Somkiat Chantra explains adaptation

The physicality of riding a MotoGP bike is also a steep learni🍰ng curve 🧔for Chantra.

He s🔴aid: “Now, we have two bikes. My team aren’t trying to change the setting.

“They want me to know the bike and und💛erstand how it work𝔍s, then to come back and say how it is.

“Afte🅷r the Barcelona test, I was in pain on the bike. Since then, I’ve worked on m꧃y back and my body.

“In Se🍌pang, there are fast corners💦. For me, the point is to have more power to push the bike.”

Chantra🧔 must remember the countless parts of techꦑnology on his Honda, another big adaptation from Moto2.

“My bike had two brak🦋es, on the re𒈔ar and in my hand,” he said.

“It is diffe🔯rent. My team said ‘we will keep it like this’.

“At some point, we use the foot brake.

“On the first day of the shakedown it was diffi🐼cult to remember everything.

“After two laps, they changed the map…

“But day by day, I tried to remember everything.”

Chantra was buoyed by a visit from Nakagami,♋ the Honda stalwart 𓆏who is a test rider this season.

Also, his friend Ai Ogura is making the same transition into MotoGP ꦺwith Trackhouse.

“On the last day🗹 [Nakagami] came to see me. He tried not to put 🤪pressure on me.

“He said ‘enjoy the bike’.

“Ai is also jumping from Moto2 to MotoGP.

“When we have free time, we speak ಌabou♏t MotoGP - the power and the speed.”
