168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Maverick Vinales had struggled to adapt fully to the new Aprilia RS-GP24 bike in Sepang and on day-one of the Qatar MotoGP test.

🐠B🙈ut that is no longer the case after finding the best aero package to suit his riding style. 

Vinales, like team-mate Aleix Espargaro and Trackhouse Racing’s Raul Fernandez, was fast throughout the final 👍day of pre-season testing.

Vinales was one of the few riders able to pose a serious threat to Ducati, who ended the test fastest with Francesco Bagnaia꧅.

Vinales told MotoGP.com: “From my side it ha𒊎s been good. The good thing is that we found the best aero package for us.

“That’s fantastic because we solved 🐟this problem that we had in Sepang and the first day here in Q༒atar. Right now it is okay.

“Now I need to work a bit more on the electronics because with the new engine I’m not on point, especially on the engine brake so it’s something we willജ do on the race🌸 weekend.”

At Sepa♑ng it seemed as though KTM were best prepared to launch a challenge against Ducati in 2024.

And although 🌊that might still be the case when racing begins, Aprilia seemed🌃 to take a bigger step forward compared to the Austrian brand in Qatar.

Choosing not to play down his chances given the outright potential of the RS-GP machine, Vinales said they can be competitive if they do things correctly at the first roun💜d.

“Of course we have a chance because the bike is fast but we need to analyse well this test and also the 🌸race.

“Race 💮one to race two will be completely different. It’s always the case. You need to be calm at the beginning of the season.”
