Official MotoGP race l🐷ap records hav🉐e been broken at all three events so far this season; held at Qatar, Portimao and COTA.

That trend is expected to continue at Jere✱z this weekend, weather permitting.

It al🔜so raises safety questions, with the Spanish track among many historic European venues struggling to expand run-off are🎀as to match increasing speeds.

But reigning double world champion 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Francesco Bagnaia, who attributed much of the 2024 g🦋ains to the new Michelin tyre compounds, feels circuits are doing a good job at keeping up and believes more g🔯rip is ultimately safer.

“The bikes are improving a lot every year,” Bagnaia said. “Small details can make more difference. Also with the new 🦄a🎃ero. And then the new tyres.

“The new tyres are bringing to us much more performance. We saw it in the pre-season test that already in Malaysia we did ‘56. That is something incredible, like [the lap recor𓃲ds] in Qatar or in Austin.

“And I think that more grip also means more safety. It's true that the speeds are increasing, but all the tracks are doing a reall🌌y good job of improving all the run-off area and more grip gives to us mor💃e feeling. So I think it [provides] more safety.”

A double Jerez MotoGP winner, Bagnaia hai♍led the Spanish circuit as “one of the greatest to race on”.

“You can have nice battles. Last year I o♓vertook many riders ꧋and it was great. So I think it's one of those kind of tracks where the rider can make more of the difference, like in Portimao, and it’s always fun to race here.”

“It was one of the first tracks where I raced when I ꦰarrived in the S🐭panish championship,” he added. “It was always one of my dream tracks, I was wondering what it’d be like [to ride here].

“So it's one of my favourites for that, and also because it has some really huge br𒁃aking as well as fa🔴st corners.”

Winner of last year’s Spanish MotoGP, Bagnaia returns just fifth in the world championship having been off th🦹e podium 🍰since victory in the Qatar season opener.
