Bagnaia was a fan of the new aero package from Ducati,🦄 which includes a small change to the side win💦glets.
But even more pleasing was the improvemenꦗts made in terms of power delivery, with Bagnaia saying: “I think [the new aero]✃ was good. I feel good more or less with everything.
"The thing we impr✨oved a lot today was the power delivery. It makes me very happy.
“The new fairing has a really good potential but we need to make changes𒁏 on the set-up to improve the feeling there.
“Also, the exhaust is quite good but I need to do another back-to-back to confirm whether it is good or not. But it was a rꦅeally positive day.”
Where the new aero is helping is clear, and that’s downforce as 🐬Bagnaia said he’s experiencing less wheeli🧔e on the straights.
“It is a completely different one to last year,” said Bagnaia. “It has more donwforce on the straight and you can feel less wheel൲ie but when you enter on the brakes it is a bit stiffer.
“You have to work on your set-up to make it 🍃easi♊er and feel the potential to have less wheelie.”
Although Bagnaia was very fast on day-two, the wo𒅌rld champion was not focusing on time attacks performance, which will instead come on the final🦩 day.
Bagnaia is expecting to make two different time attack runs afte𒊎r being impressed, but n♊ot surprised at the time of Bastianini.
Bagnaia added: “Not really. Today we were focused on the same things. He tried the time attack in the last part of the day and he is very strong. 57.1 is quite a good lap🐠 time.
“I’m curious to see෴ my two time attacks run tomorrow. If it doesn’t rain I think we will see some 56s.”
