A surprise gust of wind shook up an otherwise ‘OK’ day for 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fabio di Giannantonio during the post-race MotoGP test at Jerez.

The Italian was tenth fastest overall on the timesheets, but said time attacks were never a priority. Instead, his focus was on wo♏rking with his VR46 technical crew as well as some developments for Duc🐭ati.

“It was so important for us t🌠o understand what I need,” di Giannantonio said. “At the end, [the crew] know me just from races. We never did a test together. So it was important to work a little bit on the setup and try things to make them understand the direction.”

Ducati provided some parts, including one component, revisited from winter testing, which the Italian sai🧸d he liked. Otherwise, it was the opportunity to test in a calmer, race-pace-focused environment that proved most valuable🎃.

“We just went there with the cruise control on race pace and tried a few things. It was an OK day,” he said. “We didn’t focus on tಞhe time attack because it was not necessary.”

The only drama came when di Giannantonio suddenly found himself on the ground at Turn 13, cra💜shing without warning in the gusty conditions.

“I had a huge gust of wind in that moment. It was a good lap, but not like a track record, just a normal lap🌠 time - and I completely lost the front,” he explained.

“I was not understanding what happened꧋, then I saw all the umbꦆrellas from the marshals flying away! Luckily, I was OK.”

With one podium already ꩵunder his belt and consistent top-five form, di Giannantonio insists there’s no need to try any radical changes 🎶to his factory-spec Ducati GP25.

“We’ve done almost every time top five this year, with a podi🐟um. So it means that we are really fast and the feeling is already there. The ꦦbike is working,” he said.

“In my🎃 case, it doesn’t make sense [to make big changes]. We just need a few🍸 things to maximise the performance.”

The Italian, who missed most of pre-season testing due ꦓto injury, heads to the next round at Le Mans holding fifth in the world championship.
