168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Franco Morbidelli acknowledges that the window of opportunity for Ducati’s satellite MotoGP riders might not last lon𒈔g and is determined to strike while the gap⛎ to the factory bikes is still small.

Gresini’s Alex Marquez has grabbed much of the limelight but Morbidelli has also been a standout performer on the year-old GP24, leading 15 laps of the Qatar Grand Prix on his way to a double pꦛodium at Lusail𓂃.

Morbidelli returned to Europe holding fourth in the world championship, splitting the factory-spec GP25s of Francesco Bagnaia and his VR46 team-mate Fabio di Giannantonio.

But with factory riders♍ set to receive upgrades as the season progresses, the GP24 may soon be outpaced.

“Definitely... We should exploit the very little g𒀰ap that there is at the moment between our bike and the factory bikes,” Morbidelli s𒁃aid in Qatar. “There is a very little gap [so] we should use this moment of the year to make better performances.”

The next development milestone is the Jerez test, directly after this weekend’s Spani𝓀sh Grand Prix, where facto𓂃ries will roll out a range of upgrades.

If those upgrades 𝐆prove successful, the GP25s could start to creep away from the GP24💦s from the following Le Mans round.

Either way, it will be a major surprise if the GP🌳25 riders - Marc Marquez, Bagnaia and di Giannantonio - don’t become stronger.

For Morbidelli and the other satellite Ducati riders, that means maximising results now, wh꧙ile parity still exists.

Morbidelli finished fourth in l🌠ast year’s damp Jerez Sprint as a Pramac GP24 rider, before crashing out of the grand prix.

“I’m looking forward to going to Jerez following the great weekend in Qatar withℱ two third places,” Morbidelli said.

“Last year, it was one of the first weekends I started to be quick on the bike. I was very close to the podium in the Sprint and, even if in the main race I ende🌄d up on the ground, I was catching really fast.”

Tওhe Italian, who took his final Yamaha ไpodium at Jerez in 2021, is now chasing his first back-to-back Grand Prix podiums since 2020.

“We showed a good rhythm so far, and we🍨 have to keep going like this,” he said.
