16th fastest on his Tech3 KTM debut in Barcelona last November, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Enea Bastianini dropped to 18th place after three days at the Sepang MotoGP test.

However, the form✃er factory Ducati rider was at least clear about where he loses most of the time.

While braking progress helped Bastianini to sixth fas✤test (+0.119s) in the first sector of the lap - dominated by the hard braking zone for Turn 1 - corner entry issues meant he was only ranked 19th in Sector 2 (+0.482s) and 17th (+0.623s) in Sector 3.

Bastianini was then 10th quickest (+0.319s) in Sector 4, which includes another hard braking into ♔the final hairpin.

“Well, the progress…. Not much,” Bastianini admitted at the end of the Malaysian test. “Becauseꦕ from the start until n൩ow I [found] just [1.5s].

“But I know in which area we need to work.

“We have to try other solutions and at the moment it wasn't poss𓆏ible because we were trying differe꧒nt parts.

"In Thailand p🐠robably it will be much easier to work with the same bike and try to bring more confidence.”

Pressed on where he is struggling the most, the seven-tไime MotoGP race winner explained:

“Yeah, I know where I lost the time. I saw the videos, I saw the data and also my feeling is [that it is] in corner entry. My entry speed is very very low at the 🔯moment. It's difficult for me to turn.

“On braking, we have improved a lot and we are very close - also ༒sometimes we are💜 better compared to the other [KTMs], like in the first and last sector.

“But in Sectors 2 ꦿand 3, especially 3, we lost tooᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚ much!”

Bastianini’s best Sepang lap time was 1.5s behind test leader Alex Marquez, 0.876s from the t✃op KTM of Pedro Acosta (6th) but only 0.146s behind new Tech3 team-mate Maveri🌼ck Vinales (16th).

This week’s Buriram test takes place at the same venu💜e where Bastianini won last October’s Thai Grand Prix Sprint race, leading an all-Ducati s൩weep of the top eight.
