168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Enea Bastianini was the fastest rider on track during the closing laps of the COTA MotoGP, asꦯ💝 he completed an impressive 17th to 7th recovery.

Bastianini’s second top ten of the season has put the Tech3 rider between factory riders Brad Binder aꦐnd Pedro Acosta for tw🃏elfth in the early world championship standings.

More importantly, Bastianini believes his COTA charge was made possible by a set-up cha🎉ng𓆏e, rather than his renowned tyre-saving skills.

That gives the Italian optimism as he heads to another of his favourite circuits, Lusꦍail, venue for this wee꧃kend’s Qatar round.

"We did a good step forward in Austin, I felt good in the race and we got a great result from 17th on the grid to 7th, and I think that we can do another step this week in Qatar,” said B▨astianini, a Qatar winner for Gresini Ducati in 2022.

“Lusail is one of my favourite tracks, wher💙e we had great moments in the past, so I am really curious to go there and see how we will perf🍸orm with the KTM."

Recalling Austin, Bastianini explained: “For warm-𒈔up, we changed something again on the bike and I🏅 was confident for the race.

“In the last 4-5 laps me and Bezzecchi were the fastest riders on track and I fඣelt ‘together’ with the bike for t𒐪he first time.

“In Thailand, I was🌜 fast in the race, but I rode with a lot of confidence for the first time at COTA.

“We did ꦚa great job with the team because we did🍨 not start very well but we left very happy.”

Like most KTM riders, Bastianini has been struggling to control vibration from the rear ty⛄re but also felt the bike lacked st𝄹ability.

“Vibration has been the mai♚n problem with the bike,” he confirmed. “But also one of the worst problems was the stability, it was so difficult for me to pus൩h.

“It happened also [in the COTA race] but just at the start. When the tyre gri🐼p dropped it was com🎃ing better.”

Yet to break the top five in any race so far this season,  KTM has a decent recent record at Qatar, including last yeꦕar’s double podium by Brꦏad Binder.

"[Qatar] is a track that usually suits our bike, and last season, there was a KTM on both spr꧋ints and race podiums," said Tech3 team manager Nicolas Goyon.

“Bo༺th Enea Bastianini and Maverick Viñales are arriving from Austin with an improved feeling on the bike.

“Enea scored hi𝓡s best KTM result, and has most importantly felt better and more in control on the KTM.

“In addition, both of them had some imp🎃ortant aerodyna🌞mics tests last week, which will for sure help them find extra speed.

“All in one, I am confident that they will both arrive 💃in Doha with a lot of motivation, and we can’t wait ꦫto get back on track with them."

Team-mate Maverick Vinal💖es is also a former Qatar MotoGP🌳 winner, in 2017 and 2021 for Yamaha.
