Although he was last of the eight Ducati riders on day three after choosing not to take part in the time attack runs during the final two hours - Zarco’s teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jorge Martin was the only other Ducati rider to do the same - t💜he potential was there for all to see.

Ducati looked one step a🦂head of its competition throughout the three days and Zarco is convinced that they are he🌜re to remain at the front of MotoGP in 2023.

• Marquez: ‘Not a surprꩲise’ to sไee Honda struggle, ‘better to be in front’

Zarco said: "I’m sure! It will not be very funny for the other riders. Overall, the official team, Pramac and VR46, but now we can see Di Giannantonio and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Alex Marquez are having a better adaptation than what we could have expected.﷽ 

"I’m the last Ducati now but seven D🔥ucatis in the top nine. Even the Gresini team is there and that will be tough for the others. 

"This is good for us but in another track I think Fabio [Q🌄uartararo] and Marc [Marquez] are there.❀"

Regarding his individual performance on day thr♊ee and what he wanted to achieve before heading to Portimao next month, Zarco continued the extensive development work from days one 🍰and two, which included trying Ducati’s new fairings. 

Zarco added: "Good day. I really enjoyed it and we were able🐭 to work like the first day and do the small things that can bring a lꦆot. 

"I think a good step forward has been done and I’m pretty happy for it. If we just check the classification - with the rain it didn’t give the opportunity to put the new tyre. We could have put it꧙ before but that was not the target. 

"I wanted to feel the bike and bring the bike where I want. This is coming. This was the target of the test. We keep trying things for Ducati also, which is always a pleasure to do because my feeling is very sensi𒐪tive and information is very useful even if sometimes yไou cannot feel too much of a difference. 

"At least you keep working an༒d the 2023 version is very finalised. For the few stuff we tried the fairings are 🃏very interesting. I think in Portimao we will have a very good bike to keep pushing. Other Ducati riders are very competitive already."

Fairings aside, Zarco was also keen to work on the aerodynamics of the bike in a bid to improve haꦗndling and braking, two things that are difficult to get working in tandem.

"I would say it’s more about the aerodynamic stuff to improve a bit of everything always," said the Pramac rider. "The handling and the braking. What is good to have is a better feeling entering the corner and a better sta🤡bility. It’s normally two things that are not going together."
