168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Somkiat Chantra has admitted his early struggles with Honda’s ride height dev🌼ice.

The MotoGP rookie spent🔯 three days testing at the Shakedown, as permitted by the rules because it’s his first year in the class.

Chan♋tra w🅠ill be joined by other Honda riders, and their MotoGP rivals, at the three-day official Sepang test this week where he must further adapt to his machine.

“🦩The shakedown was good. We had the new🌃 bike,” Chantra said.

“Alsoไ, we were on the way to working with the bike. We 🤡were getting better.

“The difference from Moto2 to MotoGP? A lot of eꦕlectronics, the ride device.

“Also, with the data, we worked very hard to put the ride deജvไice in the correct place. It was getting better, closer.”

Chantra was asked if he was engaging the ride height device too early or too ܫla🙈te.

“Very, very late! Com♒pared to Takaaki Nakagami, he was♍ much earlier than me,” he replied.

The physicality of riding a MotoGP bike 🔯is also a steep learning curve for Chantra.

He said: “Now, we have two bikes. My team aren’t trying to change th♎e setting.

“They want me to know the bike and u♏nderstand how it works, then to come back and say how it is.

“Aft🐟er the Barc𓄧elona test, I was in pain on the bike. Since then, I’ve worked on my back and my body.

“In Sepang, there are fast corners. For me, the point is to have more𝔉 power to push the bike.”

Chantra must ꦿremember the countless parts of technology on his Honda, another big ada🌟ptation from Moto2.

“My bike had two brakes, on the rear an💙d in my hand,” he said.

“It is different💟. My team♊ said ‘we will keep it like this’.

“At some point, we use the foot brake.

“On the first day of the shake♎down it was difficult to remember everythin🎐g.

“After two laps, they changed the map…

“But day by day, I tried to remember everything.”

Chantra was buoyed by a visit from Nakagam🎃i, the Honda stalwart who is a test rider this season.

Also, his friend Ai Ogura is making the same trans♉ition into MotoGP with Trackhouse.

“🍨On the last day [Nakagami] came to see me. He tried not to put pres♌sure on me.

“He said ‘enjoy the bike’.

“Ai is also jumping from Moto2 to MotoGP.

“When we have f🔥ree time, we speak about MotoGP - the power ꦑand the speed.”
