16th fastest on his Tech3 KTM debut in Barcelona last November, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Enea Bastianini dropped to 18th place after three days at the Sepang MotoGP test.

However, the former factory Ducati ri🦩der was at least clear about where he loses most of the time.

While braking progress helped Bastianini to sixth fastest (+0.119s) in the first sector of the lap - dominated by the hard braking zone for Turn 1 - corner entry issues meant he was only ranked 19th in ♑Sector 2 (+0.482s) and 17th (+0.623s) in Sectꦐor 3.

Bastianini was then 10th quickest (+0.319s) in Secto♒r 4, ✤which includes another hard braking into the final hairpin.

“Well, the progress…. Not much,” Bastianini admitted at thꦯe end of the Malaysian test. “Because from the start until now I [fꦬound] just [1.5s].

“But I know in which area we need to work.

“We have to try other solutions and at th𒈔e mome🎶nt it wasn't possible because we were trying different parts.

"In Thailand probably it will be much easier to work🦩 with the same bike and try to 𓆏bring more confidence.”

Pressed on where he is sဣtruggling the most, t🌼he seven-time MotoGP race winner explained:

“Yeah, I know where I lost the time. I saw the videos, I saw the data and also my feeling♈ is [that it is] in corner entry. My entry speed is very very low at the moment. It's di🔥fficult for me to turn.

“On braking, we have improved a lot and we are very close - also sometimes we are better comp🌱ared to the other [KTMs], like in the first and last sector.

“But in Seඣctors 2 and 3, ♔especially 3, we lost too much!”

Bastianini’s best Sepang lap time was 1.5s behin♉d test leader Alex Marquez, 0.876s from the top KTM of Pedro Acosta (6th) but only 0.146s behind new Tech3 🧸team-mate Maverick Vinales (16th).

This week’s Buriram test takes place at𒆙 the same venueꦚ where Bastianini won last October’s Thai Grand Prix Sprint race, leading an all-Ducati sweep of the top eight.
