168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Miguel Oliveira says his Yamaha adaptation this MotoGP pre-season ha🧜s been hindered by him “struggling mostly on the braking point”.

Oliveira joins Pramac for th𓃲e satel🥀lite squad’s switch to Yamaha machinery in 2025, having previously ridden Aprilia and KTM bikes in his premier class tenure.

The Portuguese rider ended the Buriram test 19th on the timesheets, just under six tenths of a second behind⛄ 10th-placed team-mate Jack Miller.

While Miller has found his switch fr𒐪om KTM to Yamaha to be more s🌃traightforward than expected, Oliveira admits he is struggling to maximise braking performance on the M1 right now.

“Struggling mostly on the braking🐓 point, which I’m not able to really get the maximum out of the♔ bike,” he said.

“But it ta🎐kes time. The bike has a different technique, which you don’t do overnight, and this [Buriram] is the m🍌ost extreme track where you spend most time on the braking points.

“So, not ideal. But, ꦛI feel I took a good step forward.

“I only did one time attack at the end, so you always have a little bit more i🌟n you in that second tyre.

“We’ll leave it for the GP and I’d say we are as read𒆙y as we can be to coဣme here racing.”

At the Buriram test, factory Yamaha rider Fabio Quartararo says he was limited by a lack of feeling from the front tyres availa🅷b🎃le.

But Oliveira says this wasn’t the reason for hi🌟s braking troubles.

“I don’t feel a limitation from the tyre or♕ ℱthe front-end of the bike,” he said.

“It’s just the way you need to 🍃brake where🧸 I’m really struggling the most.

“It’s true𝓰 that our bike, you need to basically the lap time by attacking a lot on the brakes because on the exit, with the lack of traction, we don’t gain th▨at much on the new tyre.

“So, you basically have to do it all on the braking and that makes it harder on ওthe tyre 🍃for sure.”
