After securing a best of fourth during the Superpole race at Misano last season, Vierge wants to join teammate 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Iker Lecuona in adding his name to the WorldSBK podium club.

Lecuona has the upper hand thanks to finishing third in Race 2 at Assen,𓄧 but after making improvements during testing compared to where he ended his rookie season, the former Moto2 rider has♕ bigger ambitions to go with it.

ಞ"Of course, challenging for podiums is one of the main objectives this year,"&꧒nbsp;stated Vierge. "After one year of experience for us, we’re a big step ahead compared to 2022 and we’ll start the weekends with a great base and a lot of information from last year. 

"We’ve workꦓed a lot in the winter and in pre-season on our pace in the race, and this makes the difference in the last part of the race. 

"We’re doing a good job and we hope to achieve the podiums as soon as possible. The 💧season starts in a lot better place in Australia in their summer and then Indonesia. 

"These are two circཧuits that I really like and that our bike works quite well, so we’ll try to take advantage to fight well. 

"About being best Honda🤪, this is my target and Iker and I are pushing ourselves to the♛ limit. We’re improving together, which helps improve the team. I hope we don’t have bad injuries like last year, and I hope that we can fight until the end together."

As already mentioned, Vierge's best result of fourth at Misano was impressive, although 🍸it came after a big tyre gamble saw him go with the more favoured qualifying option during the ten-lap Superpole Race, which is why extensive work on race tyres has been put in so far this𒉰 pre-season.

Vierge added: "We found a base set-up and we improved it a lot on the race simulation. With respect to our race pace from last year, we improved on the hard tyres but then in both ꦺthe tests, with the softer tyres, I struggled a little bit more. 

"📖Our goal was to improve our race pace on the race tyres, and I think we achieved it. 

"If we compare ourselves from before, I think we made a big step forward aꦚnd I’m looking forward to arriving to Australia to take pr🃏ofit of the next two days of testing."
