Francesco Bagnaia still needs to ‘confirm’ whether new exhaust ‘is good or not’
Francesco Bagnaia admit﷽s Ducati’s new fairing has a lot of potential after a busy day-two at the Sepang test.
The two-time MotoGP champion finished day-two fifth fastest as team-mate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Enea Bastianini topped th🌠e leaderboard with a new unoffic꧙ial lap record.
Like his team-mate Bagnaia tested some of♐ Ducati’s new aero, fairing and exhaust, with the latter still needing more work.

Bagnaia was a fan of the new aero package from Ducati, which includes a small change to the side wing💜lets.
But even more pleasing was the improvements made in terms of power delivery, with Bagnaia saying: “I 🌠♐think [the new aero] was good. I feel good more or less with everything.
"The thing we improved 🐓a lot today was the power delivery. It makes me 💞very happy.
“The new fairing has a 🉐really good potential but we need to make changes on the set-up to improve the feeling there.
“Also, the exhaust is quite good but I need to do another back-to-b💟ack to confirm whether it is good or not. But it 🦩was a really positive day.”
Where the new aero is helping is clear, and that’s downforce as Bagnaia said he’s ex♊periencing less wheelie on the straights.
“It is a completely different one to last year,” said Bagnaia. “It has more donwforce on th🍨e straight and you can feel less wheelie but when you enter on the brakes it is a꧋ bit stiffer.
“You have to work on your set-up to make it easier and feel the potential t�ꦫ�o have less wheelie.”
Although Bagnaia was very fast on day-two, the world champion was not focusing on time attacks performance, whichꦜ will instead come on the final day.
Bagnaia is expecting to ma💮ke two differe🅷nt time attack runs after being impressed, but not surprised at the time of Bastianini.
Bagnaia added: “Not really. Today we were focused on the same thi🍬ngs. He tried the time attack in the last part of the day and he is very strong. 57.1 is quite a good lap time.
“I’m curious to see my two time attacks run tomorrow. If it doeꦚsn’t rain I think we will see some 56s.”
