168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Remy Gardner, who made his Yamaha MotoGP debut as a replacement for the injured Alex Rins at the Sachsenring, echoed the comments of 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fabio Quartararo regarding the aggressive nature𝐆 of the current M1.

Once famous for its smooth handling and rider-friendly style, the M1 has become much more 🔴aggressive in recent seasons, as engineers t🐭ried to squeeze out more engine performance to match the European machines.

How unforgiving? In the words of Gardner, the engine char✱acter felt almost like a two-stroke.

“The Yamahas I guess had this fame of always being a really sm🦹ooth and easy bike to ride. So yeah, I found it a little bit aggressive, to be honest,” said Gardner.

“I think maybe it could be t﷽his new engine package or something, but I did find it a little bit more aggressive than I expected.

“It's quite difficult to control slides on the ꧒gas. I had quite a few moments actually at the end of the race and even in the Sprint yesterday. A few highside moments, but luckily I was as quick as a cat. Saved them”

“But y𒁏eah, I expected it a bit more smooth. But the actual engine – there’s not very much vibration and stuff comi꧅ng from it, so it's nice. But it’s just a bit two-strokey, let’s say.”

Gardner finished 20th (out of 22) across🍨 the line in both Sachsenring races, with a best race lap 1.4ဣ75s from the top but only a few tenths off Honda's Joan Mir.

"It'd be nice to see what I could do with more tiꦚme on the bike but hopefully I've given some good feedback of what I felt with bike," Gardner said. "So hopefully Yamaha can take 🎀some positives from that."

Gardner won the 2021 Moto2 ღtitle before spending the 2022 season in MotoG💯P with KTM.

The Australian, son of 1987 world champion Wayne, switched to WorldSBK with Yamaha last year and has taken🔜 his first podium this ye💝ar.

Gardner, currently seventh in the WorldSBK standings, will be back on his R1 for the British round at Doningtꦬon Park this weekend.
