Although 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marco Bezzecchi was stronger at the Qatar MotoGP test, the Italian took a while to ge❀t꧅ up to speed during pre-season testing.

After jumping off the 2022-spec Ducati which he won with on four occasions, including three grand prix’, Bezzecchi startedജ the Sepang test struggling with braking in particular.

Not so much braking in a straight line, but instead braking with the bi𝓡ke leaned into the corner.

Much has been made of the new 23 and 22-spec bikes behaving differ♒en🌟tly which is why Bezzecchi was caught out.

“I was struggling to stop the bike, not in a straight line but more with [lean] angle compared to thꦉe💖 old bike,” Bezzecchi told MotoGP.com in Qatar.

“This bike haওs a different style so I had to change my riding a bit. Because of this I nee❀ded a bit more time but also we made some changes on the bike that helped a lot. This was the biggest step.”

Team manager of the Pertamina Enduro VR46 ꦯteam, Pablo Nieto was impressed with how Bezzecchi overcame the early problems.

“Marco started to get a really go♕od feeling with the bike,” said Nieto. “We🍒 have to work a lot on the electronics with him because it is completely different to last year.

“It is important to get a good set-up and be ready for the fi♑rst race.”

In contrast, Bezzecchi’s team-mate Fabio Di Giannantonio had no such issues adapting�ꦛ� to the 2023 bike.

Di Giannantonio gelled instantly with the 23 bike and could start the 2024 season achieving the bes𒁏t results on that bike.

The 🍰opening round in Qatar was Di Giannantonio’s first MotoGP win last season and Nieto admits the Italian🃏 likes the Lusail circuit ‘a lot’.

We know that Fabio was very fast lasᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚt year here, and he likes this track a lot.” Nieto told MotoGP.cꦇom.
