168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Alex Rins has revealed he will re-try a ‘Ducati-style’ automatic ride-height system during this weekend’s Thai MotoGP.

Rather than pressing a button to instantly lower the M1 on the exit of a slow corner, reducing wheelie, the automati𒅌c system allows a rider to ꦓprime the device on the way into the corner, with the rear then lowering ‘automatically’ on the exit.

“Yamaha created an automatic one - we s🥂ay automatic, but you still need to press - so here we are going to use it,” Rins said at Buriram on Thursday.

“[It] looks like the same system as Ducati. For example, we are going to use it exiting from the second ⛄last corner. I mean we activate it and we then [don’t] push again until before corner four.

“So for sure, it's less deman🔴ding for the finger!”

“This is the main benefit,” Rins added. “Beca♏use for example, the first time they brought it was in Austria and it was not wor𒆙king at 100%. So I was using a mix.

“But in the end, it's quite similar [performance] and in my case - since they were intr🦩oduced in ’20 or ’21 - I’ve always used manual, so I'm used to use it.”

In terms of engines, Rins reve🎃aled that he prefers a slightly different ‘configuration’ to team-mate Fabio Quartararo.

“We have🐻 the same engine but withꦏ a different configuration. Inside is quite different,” Rins said.

“What I like about my engine is the corneri🦂ng. My one corners a little bit better than his engine,” he continued.

“It's a configuration that we tested quite a lot of times in 🤪Valencia, Mugell▨o, and I always prefer this kind of engine.

“So they allowed me to use it and like this ജalso we are taking information in both directions [for next year].”

Quartararo revealed on Thursda🤪y that Yamaha is planning to introducꦑe one more new engine spec during the remaining three rounds:

“We will have, I think, before the end ofဣ the season a new spec [ꦺengine] with more top speed.”
