While serious concerns were raised over the state of the Mandalika track surface, and emergency repairs will be carried out 💎before next month's MotoGP race, the layout of the Indonesian track received high praise from many ri🍨ders.

As well as copious amounts of run-off area, the 17-turn seaside circuit has some very fast corners. Among them ar🎶e the Turn 6-7 right-handers, which VR46's Luca Marini labelled as 'the best corners in the worꦍld'.

"I think the track is one of the🧔 best of the calendar, just it needs to be clean𓄧," said the Italian.

"Apart from this, the track is really nice. Corners six and seven are the b💟est corners in the world, it’s a fantasticꦡ place. I really enjoy that moment every lap.

"But the problem is the [clean] line is too tight. To have a race today would be difficult. You just have🥂 to follow the rider in front aܫnd hope they make a mistake.

"If you try and overtake and go on the🍸 dirty part it's impossible to stop the bike and it’s reౠally dangerous."

Marini, preparing for this second season in the premier-clas𒁃s🐈, topped the timesheets on day two of testing with a lap that kept him third overall after the final day, when the young Italian focussed on a race simulation with the new Ducati GP22.

"I did a race simulation with a [medium] rear tyre. I started behind Bez and it was really difficult 🃏with the hot temperature when you stay in the slipstream.

"I was really worried about my tyres and tried t🍸o overtake him as soon as possible because it was really hot behind him. My front tyre was starting to become like lava and in every corner I was losing the front🅘.

"With🧜 the slipstream you also lose a lot of downforce, so it’s also difficult to stop the bike.

"Anyway, I felt go𒁃od feedback from the tyres, f♐rom the bike. I’m quite satisfied."

Following the Qatar season-opener, MotoGP will return to Mandalika for round 2 of t𒊎he 2022 world championship, on March 18-20.
