Two-time MotoGP World Champion 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Francesco Bagnaia believes he is less prepared for the 2025 season than his 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Ducati Lenovo teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez following the final preseason test in Buriram.

Bagnaia had two days affected by technical issues at the Buriram test this week which ultimately left h🗹im without time to do a full race simulation, and declare that it🌠 is Marquez who “looks in better shape”.

“It’s true that Marc [Marquez], in this moment, looks in better shape, because also yesterday he had the chance to work, he had the chance to feel okay on the bike and I wasn’t in the same🌳 situation yesterday,” Bagnaia told MotoGP.com’s After the Flag show following the end of the second day of testing in Buriram.

Bagnaia’s comments came after Marquez f𒁃inished a race simulation with pace consistently in the 1:30s during the final day of preseason testing. The Spaniard’s pace stood out from the rest of the field, including Bagnaia, whose only experience on used tyres cam🔯e from a a series of shorter runs, rather than one simulation.

“I didn’t do a simulation, just because it was more important ♎for me to find a way and finish the job because yesterday I lost completely, more or less, all the day, so today was to restart from zero and I didn’t have time to do [the simulation],” the Italian explained.

“What I was doing is to do as many laps as possible with used tyres, and it wa⛄sn’t that bad considering the amount of laps I [had] on the tyres.”

On the comparison to Marquez, Bagnaia adde༒d: “It’s very difficult to know and to make a mix in terms of pace with [multiple] runs and pace on a race simulation.

“What I want🌊 to say is that Marc did very impressive lap times and was very fast, competitive, and when I was stopping and restarting I was on the same level but this is not a correct way to balance it.”
