Unsure what was limiting him, Bagnaia🍷 said: “For sure, something is limiting me, but not so much today. My feeling wasn’t the best at the start. 

“We have changed a lot the [the bike]. The bike is quite different compared to last year🦂 and at this track I feel it a bit more. In the braking I was struggling a bit more than normal.”

W꧂hen delving deeper into the issues he faced particularly in FP1, Bagnaia highlighted three key areas.

One of those was braking which is surprising as it's so often been a strength for the Ducati rider. In fact, it’s one of the biggest reasons why he was able to hold off 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Enea Bastianini for victory last time out in Sepang. 

"Not a nervous day but for sure not the easiest one," added the series leader. "At the start of this morning in FP1 the bike was not working so well. We were struggling with the wind, struggling on braking and also with the gr🧔ip. 

"I started struggling a bit this morning and I was improving my feeling during the session𒐪 but it wasn’t enough. This afternoon [was] the same.

"I started a bit better🧜 than the morning but the feeling wasn’t the best. But on the second exit we did a really great step in front and I was able to have a really similar pace to Fabio [Quartararo] and Marc [Marquez]. 

"So it was a good run and my feeling improved a lot. The time attack was quite good but still I missed some feeling and I didn’t want to make mistakes like I did in Sepang🎃. 

"Today it was easy t🃏o make mistakes. I accepted to be a bit slower in some parts of the track to enter the corner with more speed."

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jack Miller also affected by windy conditions at the Valencia MotoGP

Bagnaia’s team-mate looked like he was heading towards the top of the timingsheets in FP2 before 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Luca Marini and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jorge Martin pulled out very impressive lap times. 

But like his team-mate, Miller was also caught out by the gusts of wind particularly in FP1, saying: "First ofꦇ all to understand where the wind was coming from, what we needed to do to get the bikes working better in the wind - a couple of times road gusts came and smashed me. 

"One time [it 🦹happened] coming out of the last corner and it was very close ☂to one of my best lap times. 

"And yeah, as the bike started wheeling and disappeared from underneath me it was kind of scary because there’s a wa♌ll on the inside and when the bike does that it’s immediately going one way. 

"Apart from that it was a good day. Theꦯ bike is working well and I feel good. I always like riding here. It’s tight, technical, the bike is always moving around a whole heap."
