Ducati confirmed last week that they added six kilos of ballast to 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Alvaro Bautista’s WorldSBK machine in order to reach the new minimum weight limit rule, and fellow Spaniard 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Xavi Vierge says Honda will do the same before t🎀he🅺 season-opener in Phillip Island.

The third-year WorldSBK rider struggled during last week’s Jerez testꦦ, as did team-mate Iker Lecuona.

Riding a completely new bike, both riders were way down the order and Vierge, has admitted that using the full potential of the bike’s power when picking up the throttle is one of their main concerns♚.

“The first thing is that I’m happy to be back working with my team; we are lucky that we have really good weather t🐟o test, so this allowed us to make many changes on the bike, on setup and on the electronics side,” began Vierge when talking to WorldSBK.com.

“Of course, we can’t be happy becaus🍷e we struggled more than expected on the traction phase but as I told you, we made huge changes on the bike setup and now we have some days off before Portimao, which will be crucial to analyse all the data and to understand the way to follow.

“We aren’t able to use the power we have; we haꦕve so much spin and righ♛t now, this is the point to work on.

“The goal for everyone is🐽 to win but right now, it’s too early because we have a completely new bike. We only d😼id four days of testing and we are struggling more than expected.”

On the subject of weight limits, Vierge said Lecuona, who is 💟heavier than him has an advantage and that on his side of the garage they will add some wಞeight.

Vierge added: “It is difficult to say. Inside our box we have two different riders. Iker is heavier than me and I’m a bit lighte🧸r.

♓“Iker has some stꦕrengths because of his weight. He can generate more power to the tyre and use more of the potential.

“For me, the 🥀bike is a little bit faster on the straight. With that kind of power it is difficult to find a rule everyone canℱ be happy with. We will need to add some weight to our bike.”
