The four KTM riders were left towards the tail of the timesheets for much of last weekend’s test, with only an ‘insane’ lap by 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Brad Binder pushing the South African into ninth.

Meanwhile, new team-mate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jack Miller was 17th (+0.941s), followed by the GASGAS bikes of 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Pol Espargaro (18th) and rookie 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Augusto Fernandez (22nd).

In an interview with Guidotti said: “We ar💜e not happy. Of course we are not where we [want to be]…. We face some unexpected issues. So we really havꦬe to understand this strange behaviour and solve it quickly because we really are far.

• Aprilia wings ‘make a big dif🔯ference’, ‘on the shoul🍰ders next!’
• Huewen: ‘Mar♈quez will pull something out the bag, but Ducati streets ahead’
• Miller: 🌌Bagnaia ‘changed man', Alex Marquez 'impressive, happy for him'

“We know we couldn’t close the gap in one෴ winter, but then we ൲miss maybe more and we have to understand better," continued Guidotti.

“The rider fe🤡eling from Miller’s side is not too bad, but is still slow. He’s getting confidence and speed run-by-run but of ♌course it’s still not enough.

“For Brad, it’s a big surprise for him because it’s not the bike he was used to🌊 riding and the feeling is completely different.

“We don’t have enough time to maybe solve everything, but for sure we have to solve something and give the riders a better package [for the 🍸first race].”

While former Ducati race winner Miller insisted&♍nbsp;he is getting more comfortable on the KTM with each day, Binder felt that improvements to the turning of the RC16 have resulted in rear grip issue🎶s.

"My feeling with this bike has been the same since I rode it for the first time at Valencia," he said at Portimao. "We’ve tried a lot of set ups and different things. Some things have helped me ha🐠ve a bit of a better feeling but I have one issue: we need rear grip.

"The bike is spinning a lot and when we🌸 brake we don’t have a lot of contact. It’s something that has been quite difficult to solve at the moment.

"The guys did a great job finding some of the things we’re looking for [for 2023]. The bike’s lighter, it turns a little bit more. but it came at the expense of a lot of♎ rear grip."

As he prepared to leave Portimao, Binder suggested a solution to the rear grip woes wo☂n't come from set-up changes alone: "It needs har꧃dware"

The 2023 season-opener t⛦akes place at the same Portuguese circuit next weekend.
