Maverick Vinales explains KTM breakthrough on last day of MotoGP test
Vinales had strong end to Buriram test on KTM

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Tech3 KTM rider 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Maverick Vinales says his step in performance on the last day of the Buriram MotoGP test was a result of ‘strengthening th🍸e braking’ of the RC16.
KTM has had a largely low-event pre-season, though factory team rider 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Pedro Acosta did end the Buriram test fourth overall.
Tech3 duo Vinales and 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Enea Bastianini appeared to be finding adapting to the KTM harder over the winter, with the latter noting on Thursday in Thailand that his riding style - developed on a Ducati - 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:simply doesn’t work on the RC16.
Vinales was more diplomatic about the ad🐠aptation process, noting that it will come eventually but the riders needꦉ to keep working at it.
On the꧅ final day of testing, he made a late im𒀰provement to ninth on the combined order and was just under six tenths from Acosta’s best lap.
Explaining where that step came from, he said:ꦑ “Basically, today I was able to strengthen a little bit more the stopping area of the bike.
“And that’s why I made this step. So, I need to really understand the brakes and how this bike is working, because somehow I think t🥃hen the exit is qui♕te nice, I have grip.
“But on the entry, which is the strongest point of the bike, still I’m not able to be at the maximum. But I’m comin🤡g.
“Today I already felt 𒊎comfortable with the bike, but to got to the next point I need more understanding and learning a ❀little bit extra.
“In terms of rhythm, t🔯oday I ♏felt quite competitive. In terms of one lap I still feel I miss here, I miss there.
“So, I’m not perfect when you do a full flying lap. But it’s not bad - I’m much closer than I am in Sepang🀅, so that’s good.”
Vinales says the advice he has been getting from test rider Mika Kallio, as well as new tea🅺m boss Aki Ajo, is something he needs so he is “reminded💧 of the tricks” required to get the best out of the KTM.
“I need to understand 🌄the bike and the way to ride the bike,”𝓀 he added.
“So, it’s very important for Mika [Kallio], all the KTM staff, and also Aki [Ajo], to keep reminding me the tricks of the bike to integrate my riding styl🍰e.
“It will take time. It’s not a matter of bel🐻ieving or confidence or if the bike is fast or not.
“It’s a matter that♏ I need to take out the maximum and I’ll be there. But it takes time.
“For sure I want to know🅷 everything already from the bike, but maybe I will need three more days, full test, to keep under🦄standing.”
