168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Maverick Vinales continued his impressive KTM form by setting the second-fastest time at Monday’s post-race MotoGP test at Jerez.

After claiming his best official Tech3 result so far ꦐwith fourth in Sunday's Spanish Grand Prix, Vinales returned to complete 89 testing laps across the two session, finishing the day 0.361s behind Ducati’s Marc Marquez.

"I tried to understand the bike more today. It was very important to do as many﷽ laps as we could to understand how and when to push it to the limits," said Vinales. 

"We had some aero to try, but we did not do anything too crazy. It went well a🐬nd I am happy with the rhythm."

Vinales spꦅent much of the day fine-tuning a bike he has grown increasingly comfortable with since April's Arg𓂃entine round.

"On Sunday, I was losing 0.1 of a second in Sector 1 and I wanted to understand well and imඣprove for next year, and it went fantastically," he said.

"Having time to work with the bike was nice. My rhythm ♊was fast, and I did one quick lap that came easily. 

"We can say that we are improving all the time. It was very windy today and there was good grip but I was working on my riding style and feeling with ﷽the bike.”

Vinalesꦏ stressed that no major changes 𓄧are currently needed, with the focus now firmly on small refinements.

"I think we are on a good level. Now it's more about details... not somethi♈ng big."

"Really good day in the office for Maverick Vinales in this Monday test in Jerez," Tech3 team mana๊ger Nicolas Goyon said. "He found some good configurations on the engine connection and in the𓃲 corners entry, in addition to trying different parts and chassis configurations for the factory.

“Once he put e☂verything together, he m⛄anaged to set a fast lap in the windy conditions, which was good, so we are happy with the work done from his end today."

Pedro Acosta was the next best KTM ri𓂃der in fifth place at ඣthe test.

Maverick ”the reference for us at the moment”

The Jerez test also gave Tech3 team-mate 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Enea Bastianini a chance to continue adapting to the KTM after mounting another𓂃 race-day recovery o💧n Sunday.

Bastianini focused on aerodynamic and🐭 engine tests rather than set-up work, but admitted he's still not entirely comfortable.

"I think we ma🦩de small steps today," Bastianini said after ending the day 15th fastest. "The wind w🐭as strong so it was not easy, but anyway the feeling was a bit better.

“However, I am 🐎still not feeling quite comfortable on the bike, especial🐻ly in the middle of the corners. Seeing how Maverick did today makes me believe that we can get there too. His riding style suits the bike really well, he is the reference for us at the moment."

Goyon added: "E♈nea Bastianini tested different aero packages and different engine elements. However, none of these elements seems to have solved his main issues, but he is feeling a bit more comfortable and a bit happier than yesterday."

The next round will be Tech3’s home event ⭕at Le Mans from 9♏-11 May.
