Although 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marco Bezzecchi was stronger at the Qatar MotoGP test, the Italian took a while to get up to speed𝓰 during pre-season testing.

After jumping off the 2022-spec Ducati which he won with on four occasions, including three grand𒉰 prix’, Bezzecchi started the Sepang test struggling with brakไing in particular.

Not so much braking in a straight line, but instead braking with the bike l🦹eaꦬned into the corner.

Much has been made of the new 23 and 22-spec bikes behaving differ𒆙en෴tly which is why Bezzecchi was caught out.

“I was struggling to stop the bike, not in a straight ♛line but more with [lean] angle compared to the old bike,” Bezzecchi told MotoGP.com in Qatar.

“This bike has a different style so I had to change my riding a bit. Because of this I needed a bit more time but also we ma꧅de some changes 🌳on the bike that helped a lot. This was the biggest step.”

Team manager of the Pertamina Enduro VR46 team, Pablo Nieto was impressed with how Bezzecchi ov🍸ercame the early problems.

“Marco started to get a really good feeling with the bike,” said Nieto. 🙈“We have to work a lot on the electronics with him because🎃 it is completely different to last year.

“It is important to get a good set-up and be ready foꦯr the first race.”

In contrast, Bezzecchi’s team-mate Fabio Di Giannantonio had no such issues adapting to the 2023 b♏ike.

Di Giannantonio gelled instantly with the 23 bike a𒅌nd could start tᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚhe 2024 season achieving the best results on that bike.

The opening round in Qatar was Di Giannantonio’s first MotoGP win last season and Nieto admits the Italian likes the Lusail circuit ‘a 🀅lot’.

We know that Fabio was very fast last year here, and he lꦯikes this🌃 track a lot.” Nieto told MotoGP.com.
