Axel Bassani admits ‘the level of WorldSBK isn’t helping’ adaptation to Kawasaki
Axel Bassani says his difficult spell with Kawasaki has been made harder by the level of competitiveness in WorldS🅷BK.
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Axel Bassani has so far struggled to adapt to the Kawasaki while team-mate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Alex Lowes remains a firm WorldSBK title contender after three rounds.
Formerly at Motocorsa Ducati, Bassani has not finished inside the top eight in any of the🍬 first nine races, something he achieved 11 out of 12 times aboard the Panigale V4 R last season.🗹
“It’s been a difficult season, at the moment, beca♍use the level of World Superbike at the moment is really high ꦬand changing team and the motorbike is never easy,” said Bassani.
“The level of WorldSBK isn’t helping 🍌me at the moment. This means if you start to go well and have a good speed, yo💎u’ll be fast and strong. We need to work step by step, slowly.”
One of the challenges for Bassan👍i has been adapting to the different riding style that’s 🌄needed with the ZX10-RR.
“It’s a completely different bike,” began the Italian. “There are always two wheels but it’s a completely different feeling! You have to change you💦r riding style, under braking and the exit of corners, bec🔯ause the bike is different.
“The first time was not easy b💃ut now, weekend by weekend, I’m starting to feel better on thꩵe bike.
“On the bike, I don’t have a bad feeling, but it’s always difficult to be fast and esp🐠ecially in Superpole we have some problems.
“We’ll try to have a better Suꦓperpole because now, if you start out of the first or second row, it’s really difficult to have a good race.
“When we put the softer tyres, the bike starts to be more difficult for me to ride. It sta🀅rts to be 💫difficult for me to do what I want to do.
“With harder tyres, it’s better. We have to improve a lot with the softer tyres because the bike starts to do something strange fo💃r my riding style. We need to improve.
“We’ll work on this point. We have to work on the SCQ tyre but also the soft tyre for the race because, after ten laps, we start to have♌ some problems. We have a lot of work to do ꧅but we know what we need.”
"It’s strange to have a team-mate"
New to Bassani this season is sharing the garage with a team-mate, after all three of his seasons with Motocorsa were𝕴 as a one-rider team.
And with Lowes performing at such a high level, Bassani admits it’s good to look at his da🐷ta.
Bassan🌼i said: “After three years alone with Ducati, it’s strange to have a teammate. At th⛦e same time, it’s good, because you have someone who’s riding the same bike and it’s always good to see what they’re doing.
“Alex is a really good guy. He always tries to do his best; he pushes to the limit with the Kawasaki because it’s his fifth♈ season with Kawasaki.
“It’s really important for me to see his data and see where I can improve. H🌊e can help me, but you have to remember that he’s my teammate, but always one of my rivals🍰.
“He can help me somewhere… but not too much! It’s normal. It’s the same fo🦋🉐r me.
“We’re two riders riding for the same team, but, at the same time, we want to be the best. He’s doing🦄 his work and the same for me.”
