168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Franco Morbidelli is at the centre of intriguing surrounding the competitiveness of Ducati’s two bikes in MotoGP 2025.

The year-old versions can often prove faster in the earliest rounds, while riders adjust to the newer machines will tend to prove better in the longer-te﷽rm.

But last yea𒁏r, for Ducati, that pattern did not form.

The factory-spec Ducatis dominated compared to🌟🌱 the year-old versions, with the exception of Marc Marquez.

But💟 on Friday at the conclusion of the 2025 Sepang test, the year-old Ducatis were on top.

Gresini’s Alex Marquez topped the timesheets, and VR46’s Morbidelli ಌwas fourth.

“Last year we 🎀were all expecting more from the GP23,” Morbidelli said.

“Actually, just Marc was able to pull it out. What we🧔 we🎉re all expecting did not happen.

“Let’s see what happens this year…

“We were quick, and that’s positive. Forget the heat and ꦬthe fatigue, and the probleꦜms that come with the first long run of the year!”

Franco Morbidelli buoyant about VR46

🃏Morbidelli has swapped Prama🧔c for VR46 but is still riding a year-old Ducati.

Although team𒅌mate Fabio di Giannantonio fractured a collarbone in a crash on Wednesday, Morbidelli insists the Sepang test has been largely fruitful for VR46.

“I am very happy about these three days. The team has wor❀ked amazingly, and I worked amazingly with a new crew,” he said.

“It was the first ๊three days that w💙e worked together but we have a good understanding. It’s really positive, we will build from here.

“𓂃Moreover, it’s a good start for the team. Coming froℱm a complicated year to starting in this way? It’s a great boost.

“I k🍨now we had Fabio’s issue on the first day, but o꧋n our side it’s going well.”

Morbidelli said about 🐟his new crew: “It was the main thing. Understanding each other, knowing what you want, telling what you want frꦐom the bike, and them actually making it happen.

“Your comments are important, and so is comm💯unicating in the right way.

“Itꦬ’s the f🤡irst thing to care about when you get to a new team.

“I am alright with confidence! I’m a confident rider! I’ve had ups and downs but definitely this is an ‘up momﷺ꧟ent’ so I am confident.”

Morbidelli entered 2024 injured aft🌌er a preseason testing injury but ended the 2025 Sepang test on top form.
