168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Enea Bastianini gave a worried assessment of his adaptation to the KTM after Day 1 of the Buriram test.

Bastianini was 16th ꦚon the timesheets ♊at the official MotoGP preseason test.

He later admitted that swapping the factory Duc🅠ati for a Tech3 KTM is proving more difficul🀅t than anticipated.

“I was very busy, especially because I was not motivated. We tried a lot of solutions. In the end? Nothing,” Bastianini said on Wed𓂃nesday.

“In t💟he afternoon we went in the opposite dꦅirection.

“We tried something differ🌺ent to what I usually like.

“In the end? It was good, with this bike.

“Theꦬ main prob💦lem came with myself because I have in my mind the style of the Ducati.

“This bike isn’t quite [like a Ducati]...”

Enea Bastianini shares KTM concern

Bastianini admitted he has been taken ab🐎📖ack by how different the Ducati and the KTM are.

“A bit, yes,” he s▨aid. “Because on-track it was quite similar from the ಌoutside.

“But on the inside? It’s completely different.

“I need more time than [I expected] to be comfortable and𒉰 faster.”

Bastianini noted the key ar🍨ea where he is falling behind.

“One thing is the use o🍌f the rear brake. Iඣt is the opposite,” he explained.

“If you use♛ the rear brake on the straigh☂t, the rear moves a lot.

“The vibrations from the re𒐪ar then come to the front!

“But to modify this after many years is complicated. Y🐻ou’d need an incrediblඣe result.”

However, Bastianini did add: “In the afternoon I improved🐼, and I am happy.”

He has one more day of tes✱ting his KTM before the first race weekend in Thailand on February 28-March 2.
