Bagnaia was 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:third-fastest on Tuesday after completin🌺g 58 laps on his Ducati machinery, primarily putting the GP25 through its paces.

When asked by mahbx.com if beginning testing on Tuesday had any added significance now he is working towards winning back the title, Bagnaia replied: “I have to say, doing the💯 test without being the world champion focused me more on the bike.

“So, happy, better because when you are doing it when you are world champion you are happier, surely, but I am less c✨oncentrated on i𓂃mproving.”

The step between the GP23 and GP24 this year proved to be massive, with Bagnaia stating on Tuesday that the base of the 2025ཧ bike is stronger than it has ever been at the same point in previous 🙈years.

“Is the GP25 different? We have to say that w💜e tested many things today and the GP25, I think it’s a good base to start developing and improving,” he said.

“I think our team and our engineers will work a lot this winter, because we n♐eed to improve a bit the base we 🦹tested.

“Luckily me and Marc had the same feeling about the bꩲike, and this is very important to go in the same direction on the developing and this is great.

“In꧃ terms of handling, the GP24 in braking is still better.

“I improved a lot this year on the GP24 in terms of braking. So, I think we will hav𝔍e to sear🉐ch to go in the same direction.

“But the GP25 has a very good stability in terms of fast corners and I like it also with usไed tyres. This is good. Also the new engine is very strong.

“Normally we never start at this point with th♛e new bike, we always need to do some work. But the base is good and I’m happy for it.”

He adds: “I think already the difference between 24 and 25 is quite huge, and I think we will not have a big step🌠 for Malaysia b🐼ecause I think the step was already here.

“But we need to arrange it, also in terms of set-up we need 🅠to adapt it to the new bike.”
