Takaaki Nakagami, who 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:'lost' one of his 2019-spec RCVs to Marc Marqu✃ez on the final da🥀y in Qatar, finished MotoGP pre-season testing just a fraction behind the reigning world champion.

Perhaps due to the lack of a second bike, Nakagami only completed 33 laps on the last day at Losail, the least of any rider🅰.

Nonetheless, he was just 0.💯090s slower than the reigning champion as the pair - bꩲoth recovering from shoulder surgery - occupied seventh and eighth on the timesheets.

“I’m really happy with these three days of testing, we have been improving every single day. The lap time is good and close to the top – only three-t😼enths away from the fastest," Nakagami said.

“The physical condition of my right shoulder has also improved significantly, and I’m happy about how it feels because I’m in less pain. At the end of the day I still🦩 have energy, so this is a good sign.

"We still have one week left, and we will try and recover even more before t🐷he start of the season, but we will be ready for Qatar."

Although Nakagami ha♉s a year-old bike, there are still plenty of things to test as he works through the various parts created to try and help Jorge Lorenzo last season.

"We have a lot of test items… some chassis parts, some rear shock. They [HRC] have a lot of stocks because last year Jorge requested many things," Nakagami had said at the opening Sep🌸ang test. "I'm happy to t༒est many things, last year was almost nothing."

Team-mate Cal Crutchlow was 18♐th faꦺstest on the 2020 machine.
