LCR riders Johann Zarco and Takaaki Nakagami backed up Joan Mir’s opinioﷺn that the ‘new’ RC213V, used by test rider Stefan Bradl as a wild-card in the Spanish MotoGP weekend, is not the way forward.

Mir 🌱had already discarded the ‘prototype’ after a recent private test in C♕atalunya.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果💎历史:Howꦫever, Mir was buoyant about a ‘new concept’, believed to be engine related, perhaps including parts from last year, that he tried at Monday’s officia♔l Jerez test.

“I tried the [new Bradl] bike in Montmelo. Some positive and some negative but not the right direction... So the bike of Stefan is notꦉ the bike we will continue developing,” Mir explained on Monday.

“[Instead] we tried a different… concept. It was working. It’s a direction we need to devel𝄹op that can h💧ave potential in the future, not now. [But] we know finally the direction to take.

“We are trying to find the turning. That is t🌸he weakest𓆏 point.”

During Monday’s test, Bradl’s Jerez race machines appeared in the LCR pits ✅for their feedback.

“We have all four riders trying differe💞nt things and different combinations aꦰnd I think by the end of the day we will have probably some important conclusions,” HRC team manager Alberto Puig told MotoGP.com.

Those conclusions presumably included a clear thumbs down for the Bradl bike, with Z🐲arco and Nakagami echoing Mir's comments (Mir’s team-mate Luca Marini, 23rd at the test, did not speak to the media on Monday).

“We tried the new bike. We expected better from this new bike and we didn't have the speed that we want yet,” said 20th fastest Zarco. “Some areas could 📖work bꩲetter but some others were worse...

“But I'm so impressed by the work Honda is doing and that gives a lot of motivation to keep pushing.&nꦉbsp;

"At the moment I'm feeling more comfortable on my [current] bike, so that's why we’re going to work o🌌n it still for🌠 the next grand prix.”

Nakagami, the fastest RC213V rider in 16th at the test, added: “This morning we got the opportunity to test the Bradl🐷 bike, which is the proto-bike. 

"We did a couple of ඣruns, I think between 25 and 30 laps and it was enough because honestly speaking the performance and the feeling of the bike doesn't change so much. 

"And also the lap time doesn't come, because pretty much sim🤡ilar issues like we ha﷽ve [with the current race bike].

“Little bit disappointed, of course. Everyone🐎's expecting that the prototype will be some potential. But the reality is it doesn't change so much.

“But the good thing is that after the Jerez GP we already got the [first ride 🌳on a] new bike and this is something in the past that never happened, normally until Misano [in September]."

“We are working a lot. Honda is not sleeping. We are trying to find a solution because still we are clearly not where we wan🌠t tඣo be,” said Puig.

Under the revised concession system, Honda and Yamaha are now allowed to chang❀e engine design during the raci♛ng season.
