Francesco Bagnaia says not testing after the final race of the season as MotoGP world champion was “better” for him as he🐈 could focꦍus more on developing the GP25.

The double wor൩ld champion lost the number o🧸ne plate to Jorge Martin last weekend in the Solidarity GP finale at Barcelona.

It means for the first time since 2021 that Bagnaiꦫa didn’t begin t🌼he following year’s testing as the champion.

Bagnaia was 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:third-fastest on Tuesday after completing 58 laps on his Ducati machinery, p𝔉rimarily putting the GP25 through its paces.

When asked by ltxcn.top if beginning testing on Tuesday had any added significance now he is working towards winning back the title, Bagnaia replied: “I have to say, doing the test without being the world champion focused me moꦺre on the bike.

“So, happy, better because when you are doing it when you are world champion you are happier, surely, but I am less concentra🔯ted on improving.”

The step between the GP23 and GP24 this year proved to be massive, with Bagnaia stating on Tuesday that the base of the 2025 bike is stronger than it has ever been at the same point in previous𝓰 years.

“Is the GP25 different? We have to say that we tested many things today and the GP25, I think it’s a good♔ base to 🎉start developing and improving,” he said.

“I think our team anᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚd our engineers will work a lot this winter, because we need to improve a bit the base we tested.

“Luckily me and Marc had the same feeling about the bike, and t🦩his is very important to go in the same direction on the developing and this is great.

“In terms of handling, the GP24 in br♑aking is still better.

“I improved a lot this year on the GP24 in terms of braking. So, I thiไnk we will have to search to go in the same direction.

“But the GP25 has a very good stability in terms of fast corners and I like it als꧋o with used tyres. This is good. Also the n🍰ew engine is very strong.

“Normally we never start at this point with the new bike𒁃, we always need to do some work. But the base is good and I’m happy for it.”

He adds: “I think already the difference between 24 and 25 is quite huge, and I think we will not have a big step for Malaysia because I think the st🌃ep was already here.

“But we need to arrange it,ไ also in terms of set-up we need to adapt it to the new bike.”
