168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Jonathan Rea built on an impressive performance at Jerez last November, finishing second behind Nicolo Bulega at the Jerez WorldSBK test.

The former Kawasaki rider is aboard an R1🎶 for the first time in his career but the ꦑtransition has appeared seamless for Rea.

Although he was over half a second back fr🍷om Bulega, Rea was a clear second and led Yamaha’s charge 𓃲ahead of another two day test at Portimao in a few days.

“My feelings with the R1 are really good,” Rea revealed to WorldSBK.com. “Right from the first time I💎 rode the bike back in November last year, I felt comfortable. 


“I could feel the strengths of the bike and some of the areas we needed to work on. This test was more a case of picking up where we left it 𒆙last November, trying a lot of test items.

“I think we struggled to make so much progress on Day 1 because we were trying so many items on some key areas, but last night, when the🥃 guys sat down, they were able to go through all the data and really understood the way forward.

“This morning, I felt great straight away. We’ve done a lꦫot of positive laps, we’ve learnt a lot, and we’re happy with the progress and the findings we have to move onto Portugal.”

Rea hinted at a clear directio൲n🧔 already being found, but that testing is always important as it helps to provide ‘concise’ feedback.

“There’s a clear direction that I like, which is꧑ good,” added Rea. “Yam♋aha have been working really hard behind closed doors to move the package forwards and I feel really grateful to be part of that.

“Sometimes it’s hard b𝕴eing a rider because you have to do a lot of laps out there, but you have to be at a very exact rhythm and get really clear and concis🍰e feedback.

“These are har🍃d parts we’ll probably start the year with and become our base setup, so feedbaᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚck’s important.

“Today, I tried my best to give really accurate information b🙈ecause Portimao will be a trac🐈k we re-confirm some items, re-test some items but we have to be very clear about the package we’ll go to Australia with.”
