168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Alex Marquez starred with a pair of second places behind brother Marc in the Thai MotoGP season opener.

The Gresini rider’s head-turning performances, which included leading for over half of the grand prix, were backed up by fourth place for fellow satellite GP24 rider 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Franco Morbidelli (VR46).

First and third in the grand prix were the factory Ducati Lenovo machines of 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Marc Marquez and 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Francesco Bagnaia, which are currently closer than 🧸ev🧸er in specification to the satellite riders.

That’s because Ducati h🍃as chosen to keep the GP24 engine design for the GP25 and start the season with last year’s chassis 𓆉and aero.

Everything apart from engine design can be updated as the sꦇeason goes on, but there are already some subtle differences betwee𝔉n the factory and satellite bikes, such as the swingarm.

“T🍌hey are official riders, so they have some new versions,” Alex Marquez confirmed at Buriram.

“Our version is the one they had until Austria.ꦦ That is our version of the 24 bike.

“Some d🧔ifferences, but we have good tools to fight in many races🐓.

“Maybe for one lap, the differences [between the factory and satellite spജec Ducatis] are not really big,” Alex Mꦉarquez added.

“To manage the long race, they have a small🌳 advantage, but it’s not really a big one.”

To put that timeframe into context, Austria was round 11 o🦩f 20 last year.

So not end of season spec but significantly newer t🍎han the satellite GP23 bikes used by Gresini and VR46 last year, which were said to be start-of-2023 and therefore already a year old by round one.

But the biggest performance difference for the satellite teams is probably that the GP24 was spe🍃cifically designed to work with the latest Michelin rear tyre construction, while the GP23 was built for the previous tyre technology.

Ducati grid numbers have been reduced from eig⛎ht to six this season with the departure of reigning champion’s Pramac to Yamaha.

VR46’s Fabio di Giannantonio joins Marquez and Bagnaia on factory ‘GP25’ spe♌c machines, while rookie Fermin Aldeguer has the satellite ‘GP24’ spec used by team-mate Alex Marquez and Morbidell😼i.

It is not yet known which technical upgrades the satellite GP24s will receive during the season but the GP25 riders will try new pa💝rts at the Jerez test.

"There is obviously a difference in some details between the factory bikes ಌand the satellite ones," Ducati Corse generಞal manager Gigi Dall’Igna told Sky Italia.

"We certainly have 𒐪other developments planned, which we will try at the Jerez test. So we will do the next four races mor🤡e or less with this configuration."
