168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Luca Marini has praised Honda for developing the bike with his💜 feedback in mind - but he has warned that the Ducatis are stiꦦll a long way off.

Marini was only 18th-fastest on Monday at the MotoGP preseason test in Qatar.

Their 🌳search for more downfꦯorce included the use of a large new aero.

“We worked on a lot, not only the aero package,” Marini explained⭕.

“It feels interesting. N🌜othing huge, no big improvements. But small details💯 which will help for the season.

“We understand the direction of the work.

“They listen, a lot, to my feedback.

“Every time, something 🌼positive arrives. In Qatar we have more items to try, compared to Sepang.

“This is grജeat because every time we try something new, it works.

“The bike is developing but t🍷he other manufacturers are growing a lot.

“So we still need to 𝔍work harder because it’s not enough.”

The timesheets on Monday were topped by Francesco Bꩵagnaia and Jorge Martin, the Ducati duo who fought fo♔r the championship until the final round of last season.

Aleix Espargaro of Aprilia a♐nd Brad Binder of KTM were third and fourth, establishing those manufact✱urers much nearer the front than Honda.

But Marini sees positives: “As the first day🐻, this was better than the first day of Sepang.

“I am growing. Very lap was better🌌 because 🐬I understand the bike better.

“Here, I am rid🅠ing better compared to Sepang. “More similar to what 💎Honda needs to go fast.

[Tuesday] I will try to be even stronꦿger and faster.”

His plan for the rest of the Qatar test: “Most of the items we haveꦜ tried. [Tuesday] is about focusing on performance.

“To try to unders𝔍tand better which area we mus♛t work.

“The rear grip is one of the mo🐟st important things.

“We will try to b💖e in the top 10 because, in a few 𒉰weeks, we will be here for the race.”

Marini left VR46 Ducati to take on his first challenge🎃 as a factory rider, replacin♐g Marc Marquez at Repsol Honda.

He enters the mighty Japanese manufacturer at a low ebb for them, after a ༒few disastrous campaigns.

But Marini’s skilled and concise feedb𝄹ack was seen a🐻s a key reason that Honda wanted to bring him in, to develop their bike.

He is tied to a long-term deal, one of just two MotoGP riders contra🅰ct𒀰ed beyond the end of 2024, a major show of faith from Honda.
