The two-day 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:WorldSBK test in Jerez was the first opportunity for riders to jump on their 2024 bikes wiꦑth their new teams.

Most notably, six-time champion 🦩Rea wore Yamaha blue rather than Kawasaki green for the fiꩲrst time.

Rea’s feedback of the Yamaha R1 was: “The first day was more about🌠 getting familiar with theꦜ bike.

“It was a big shock to ride the bike because I got a lot of differ🎀ent sensations, compared to what I’ve been used to.

“In a🉐 positive way - the bike is very user-friendly. Not easy to go fast, but easy to arrive.

“Step-by-step we tried different things. Different tyre combinations, to understand how the Y🌱amaha uses the different tyre options.

“I co🥂uld see, from the past, that Yamaha have maximised the SCX tyre. So we go through that.

“We made setup changes. I requested different electronic set⭕ups, but not much.

“I used the base setting of the R1. At the next test we’ll try some develop𓆏ment parts.

“A really positive experience on both days.

“I can’t say the R1🌠 is really mine yet, but it’s a familiar feeling now.”

'It encourages you to go fast, it inspires confidence'

Rea crashed his Yamaha on Tuesday beforꦜe going🐽 fourth-fastest. He spent time on Wednesday leading the timesheet before finishing in third.

His new bike, like his old on⭕ওe, has an inline-4 engine.

Rea explained: ♔“It’s a really different feeling, the R🌳1. A unique feeling.

“The bike has a lot of traction, easy to use traction. It encourages you to go fast, 𝓀it inspires 🦩confidence.

“You can ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚget into the throttle and use the power of the machine.

“Even when you’re going really fast, it feels un🃏der contr꧋ol.

“Now I can see why Toprak was𓆉 riding th🅺e way he was! Why Locatelli was competitive this year! I understand why now!

“At the next test, we can get into more setups.

“I’m p๊leasantly surprised with the first feeling.”

Asked if it was easier to find the limit on the Yamaha, ༒Rea said: “Step by step, I still need to u༺nderstand the bike.

“One thing I f𓃲elt? We could use the used tyres and be competitive.

“We need to be in a 🔥race situation because everyone, in testing, has different str𝓀ategies.

“It’s a good first contact. We’ll leave it like tha💯t.”

The Yamaha R1's weakness?

What areas does Rea want Yamaha to improve upon?

“I c🃏ould feel a little more edge grip, as soon as I opened the gas. An area we could impr𝄹ove,” he said.

“Elecಞt꧒ronics? Mappings that follow my riding style.

“Just keep working, trying different parts, understan꧃ding how different parts influence the bike.

“Communication between m🌺y crew chief and my electron♚ics engineer will only keep improving. Understanding my comments, reacting in such a way.”
