168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Alex Rins has revealed he will re-try a ‘Ducati-style’ automatic ride-height system during this weekend’s Thai MotoGP.

Rather than pressing 🀅a button to instantly lower the M1 on the exit of a slow corner, reducing wheelie, the automatic system allows a rider to prime the device on the way into the corner, with the rear then lowerin🐷g ‘automatically’ on the exit.

“Yamaha created an au𝔍tomatic one - we say automatic, but you still need to press - so here we are going to use it,” Rins said at Buriram on Thursday.

“[It] looks like the same system as Ducati. For example, we are going t🎃o use it exiting from the second last corner. I mean we ac🎶tivate it and we then [don’t] push again until before corner four.

“So for ꦿsure, it's less demanding for the finger!”

“This is the main benefit,” Rins ad🐠ded. “Because for example, the first time they brou🌳ght it was in Austria and it was not working at 100%. So I was using a mix.

“But in the end, it's quite similar [performance] and in 🐼my case - since they were introduced in ’20 or ’21 - I’ve always used manual, so I'm used to use it.”

In terms of engines, Rins revealed that he prefers a slightly diffe💃rent ‘confi☂guration’ to team-mate Fabio Quartararo.

“We have the same engine but with a different configurati🌳on. Inside is quite different,” Rins said.

“What I like abou💝t my engine is the cornering. My one corners a little bit better than his engine,” he continued.

“It's a configur𝕴ation that we tested quite a lot of times in Valencia, Mugello, and I always prefer this kind of engine.

“So they allowed me to use it and like this also we are taking information in both directions [for ﷺnext year].”

Quartararo revealed on Thursday that Yamaha i🧸s planning to introduce one more new engine spec during the remaining three rounds:

“We will have, I think, before the end of 🉐the season a new spec [engine] with more top ꦰspeed.”
