Joh🌞ann Zarco s✱ingled out Honda’s new carbon fibre swingarm as offering a clear step forward during his debut on the prototype part in Monday’s Aragon test.

HRC test rider Aleix Espargaro, who has helped develop the composite swingarm behind closed doors, s🅰ignalled the part was ready f💞or the race riders during a wild-card appearance at the previous Silverstone round.

Zarco and Joan Mir duly got their c🌼hance 🌳to try it at the official test.

“Many laps today,” said 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Johann Zarco, who was 17th fastest. “I was not able🔯 to do big step in lap time, but that was not the target. The target was to🤪 try all these things.

“The biggest thing we have tried is the carbon swingarm, which was very interesting. We got a better performance🐭 with it. Now we will have to wait a bit to get it on the bike [in a race weekend].”

Pressed on if he was happy with the test, after a t💦ough race weekend, the Frenchman replied꧂:

“Yeah, for example this swingarm… ‘wow’, that🤪 was the thing working the best. So I'm happꦯy that this big part of the bike, where sometimes the comments of the rider is not huge, for me it was nice. So this was good.

“We gained a lot in acceleration, but also on the brak🅺ing, we have better control o⭕f the rear grip. Immediately, the lap time was better.”

The only bad news is the timeframe needed to c💎reate enough carbon fibre swingarms.

“I think it will be for the overseas races. S𒉰o I need to wait a bit,” he said.

Meanwhile, Zarco was coyer on the ꦿother, 𓆏less visible RC213V developments.

“Then we have tested things that we have tested aꦿlready in Jerez, but it's very technical things on the bike.

“It's something that Honda is developing which I think🐻 can open ♌some new doors that I hope will give us advantage for next year.”
