168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Franco Morbidelli crashed after earl𝓀y contact with Honda’s Joan Mir, but after remounting his GP2🌼4 machine, Morbidelli’s pace would have been strong enough to achieve a top ten finish.

Morbidelli endured a strong Friday, and despite crashes on Satu꧑rday and Sunday, the Pramac rider felt happy leaving the Portimao circuit.

“We keep our le꧒arning curve with this bike and I can go home pretty satisfied,” said Morbidelli. “Results-wise not yet because in the race I made a mistake in the start.

“I made a꧂ bad 📖start and was caught up in the group. I went wide and then I crashed.

“After that the results were gone, but the rhythm was very acceptable and v🌟ery decent.

“Still I need to learn everything but some💜 things we are realising are coming. We just need to keep going and speed it up.”

Still, Morbidelli is not 100% comfortable with the Ducat🧸i and one of the reasons for that is down to riding without freedom.

Morbidelli adde🧜d: “What I'm missing the most on the bike is knowledge and freedom of doing things by reflex.

“I’m thinking too much about engaging the devices✃, the gear levers that are different to what I’m used to.

“I’m not focusing a lot on riding and maximising the riding. 🎶That’s what happens when you don’t have kilometres and we are lacking that.”

After missing pre-season testing, Morbidelli’s time aboard the Ducati has been ve💮ry limited.

So when asked about his feeling compared to the Ya♏maha, the Italian was keen not to give any secrets away.

Morbi🍌delli said: “I don’t want to make comparisons because that wouldn’t be fair to me, yes. I would like to remain a gentleman on this.

“What I can say is that I feel good. I feel💯 very good with this bike and if you check out my r🃏hythm in the race, not having any freedom riding, and having margin, the rhythm is still good.

“I🍸t’s still good enouꩲgh to be six or seven. I was impressed with that.

“I’m impressed with the package and feel a lot of 𝓀p♔otential with the package.”
