The two-time MotoGP champion finished day-two fifth fastest as team-mate 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Enea Bastianini topped ౠthe leaderboard with a new unofficial laꦚp record.

Like his team-mate Bagnaia tested some of Ducati’s new aero, fairing and exhaust, with the latter still needing more🦋 work.

Bagnaia was a fan of the new aero p𒈔ackage from Ducati, which includes a small cha🦋nge to the side winglets.

But even more pleasing was the improvements made in terms of power delivery, with Bagnaia ﷽saying: “I think [the new aero] was good. I feel good more or less with everything. 

"🎃The thing we improveꦺd a lot today was the power delivery. It makes me very happy.

“The new fairing has a really good potential but we need to make changes on the set-up to impꦅrove the feeling there.

“Also, the exhaust is quite good but I need to do anothᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚer back-to-back to confirm whether it is good or not. But it was a reallyꩲ positive day.”

Where the new aero is helping is clear, and that’s downforce as Bagnaia said he’s experiencing less wheel🧸ie on t♒he straights.

“It is a compl𝓡etely different one to last year,” said Bagnaia. “It has more donwforce on the straight and you can feel less wheelie but when you enter on the brakes it is a bit stiffer.

“You have to work on your set-up to mak𝄹e it easier and ♊feel the potential to have less wheelie.”

Although Bagnaia 🅷was very fast on day-two, the world champion was not focusing on time attacks performance, which will instead come on the final day.

Bagnaia is expecting to make two different time attack runs after being impresse𝓀d, but not surprised at the time of Bꦛastianini.

Bagnaia added: “Not really. Today we were focused on the same things. He tried the time attack in the last part of the day and he🧸🌊 is very strong. 57.1 is quite a good lap time.

“I’m curious to see my two time attacks run tomorrow. If it doesn’t rain 🦹I think we will see some 56s.”
