168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Remy Gardner edged out fellow Yamaha rider 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Andrea Locatelli as he set a blistering lap time during the final two hours of the Cremona WorldSBK test.

Less than a tenth ultimately separated the two Yamaha riders, and although the mor🍬ning ‘wasn’t too easy’, Gardner was left pleased with the test overall.

Speaking about his day, Gardner said: “As we only had one day, I didn’t even know where the track🦄 went! I knew the first corner went left so I went out and started riding this morning.

“It felt okay but I definitely struggled a bit more this morning to get on the pace and th🌠e rhythm.

“I was struggling to set up the gearing because it’s new fo🥃r everybody, but this afternoon we we❀nt back out with the gearing that works well.

“Str🐲aight away, I was fast and felt better. We found a lot of improvements on the 𒈔bike and I’m happy with the day.”

Whil𓄧e Gardner was fast, 💟the former MotoGP rider nearly crashed on two occasions.

“💮I saved one at Turn 7 this morning,” began Gardner. “I was pushing when things weren’t working🌄 too well, but I saved it on the elbow which was good.

“This afternoon, on the SCQ, I was doing a long run and just got the bike a bit uns﷽ettled on th🦩e braking marker into Turn 2 and ran off into the dirt.

“I just managed to stop it before the wall. I ended up in the grass and tried to re-join the track, but 30 metres in fro𓂃nt of the grass, it turned into🌱 flat track mud, and I slipped on the mud. Unfortunately, I got dirty, and the bike got dirty!”

On the factory team’s side🐼 of the garage, day-two was another positive outing for Locatelli 🌌who is still searching for his first WorldSBK win.

Locatelli said: “It was the first day for me with the ‘big bike’ on th📖is track and I think we did very well.

“We 🐎were focused on doing some laps and try to set-up and understand the R1 here. In only one day, we made a really good lap time and we made a ꧅good rhythm on the used tyres so in general I am happy.

“I have a good feeling and I have good confidence a🌸nd now we have two more days of teꦬsting next week in Misano.

“I am excited because it has been a long time that we didn’t ride! We had a good day, no mistakes, no crash – we did a lot of things and we have good data, and we can arrive in Misano with so🐻me more ideas to set-up the bike for Misano race.

“Cremona looks l𒈔ike a good track and I enjoy quite a lot the first sector and the last sector, because it is where we need to turn a bit more.

“On the last sꦫector it’s nice to ༺ride, looks like jumping and then to go in the last corner – it’s something different.

“For sure it’s not a big track so it might not be easy to overtake in the race, but let’s see🍎. We will arrive here in September focused and we will try🃏 to get the maximum.”

Different settings used for Rea in Cremona

After showing🉐 signs of turning his season around in Assen, Jonathan Rea believes further progress was made aboard the R1 in Cremona.

Rea, who didn’t set a fast time, admitted he was going to end the test early in order to save his testing allocation f🐻or later in the season, before jumping back aboard his bike in▨ the afternoon.

Rea added: “It was nice to get here and get back on my R1, it’s been a while since A🅺ssen! Cremona is a new track for WorldSBK 🀅and also a new track for me, a new track for almost everybody really.

“It was important to come here before September and at least learn the way roun🎶d,🐷 so now I know!

“It looked like we were going to get another thunderstorm in the afternoon, so we were gambling to try and save that afternoon to use more test days in the season – but after a couple of hours we decided it was going to miss us, so we went back out and started really tr🌟ying to find the limits with ꦗthe Yamaha R1 on this circuit.

“It was also important to help get me more comfortable and electronically we worked on a lot of different settings compared 🐎to what I was using at the start of the season.

“Step-by-step, building the set-up – always when you arrive at a new track there’s many areas to adjust and give feedback on🙈 to the engineers, just to refine the set-up and get more comfortable pushing closer to the limit because we still have margin to improve.”
