168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marco Bezzecchi says his crash late on in second practice at the MotoGP Tha🃏i Grand Prix was one he “could have avoided” as it stemmed from a lack of Aprilia knowledge.

The three-time grand prix winner has been one of the standout performers of the pre-season aboard the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:factory Aprilia a🍸nd carried that form ꦬinto Friday’s practices at Buriram.

Bezzecchi finished Frida♋y fourth overall but suffered a small🤪 crash late on in second practice at Turn 3.

He explained tꦰo the media that this was down to him not having enough knowledge of the RS-GP when pushing it in qualifying trim and encountered movement on the bike under braking that he didn’t know how to react to.

“Yea⛎h, it was a positive day for me,” Bez𒊎zecchi said.

“At the end I tr🌜ied maybe a bit too much, but it’s the first time I tried to make a bit more.

“I think it was possible to avoid the crash. It’s the first time Iꦯ had a similar movement in braking, so I didn’t really know what to do.

“I tried to put the bike in, anyway. So, small mistake but overall it wa❀s a g✃ood day.”

When it was put to him that this suggests he has good confidence ꦬin the bike, he replied: “Yeah, I feel confident, of course. I found different conditions compared to the test.

“During the test the rubber on track was a lot.

“We started fro🃏m a good🗹 base, but the track is not the same like in the test.

“So, we had to change something on the bike and🐠 I had to change something also on the riding to try to adapt.

“But overall the confidence is there. So, hopefully tomo꧋rrow I can imp👍rove.”

The Aprilia has always had a strong front-end, which su🌜its Bezzecchi’s style, but he also notes that steps have been made to make the r๊ear more stable since he first rode the bike in Barcelona last November.

“Well, let’s say that from Mo✨ntmelo we improved a lot,” he added.

“Of course, the first feeling that I had w💝as ‘fuck, the front is good’.

“And I also 🌳had the feeling of the rear a bit loose. So, from Montmelo we improved a lot, especia🌠lly in traction.

“Now the bike is a lot more stable. The difference is a bit more in the braking. We still hav🍸e to find a way to make a smooth bike in all kind of braking.”

As well as strong one-lap speed, Bezzecchi’s used tyre pace is en𒆙couraging after Friday practice - though he is reticent to predict he will be in the fight with the Marquez brother♏s on Saturday.

“I don’t know,” he said.

“I still have to check the pace from everyone. Of course, I think Marc at the moment is ♎the fastest.

“Alex through all the winter testing was really good as well. Let’s say that my targꦕet is to do better than today and then we’ll see what we can do.”
