168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Remy Gardner, who made his Yamaha MotoGP debut as a replacement for the injured Alex Rins at the Sachsenring, echoed the comments of 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fabio Quartararo regar📖ding the ag♓gressive nature of the current M1.

Once famous for its smooth handling and rider-friendly style, the M1 has become much more aggressive in recent seasons, as engineers tried to squeeze out more engine p♏erf▨ormance to match the European machines.

How unforgiving? In 𝓀the words of Gardner, the engine character felt almost like a two-stroke.

“The Yamahas I guess had this fame of always being a really smooth and easy ꦿbike to ride. So yeah, I found it a little bit aggressive, to be honest,” said Gardner.

“I think maybe it could be this new🌊 engine package or something, but I did find it a little bit more aggressive than I expected.

“It's quite difficult to control slides on the gas. I had quite a few moments actu🅷ally at the end of the race and even in the Sprint yesterday. A few highside moments, but luckily I was as quick as a cat. Saved them”

“But yeah, I expected it a bit more smooth. But the actual engine – there’s not very much vibration and stuff coming f🌠rom it, so it's nice. But it’s just a bit two-strokey, let’s say.”

Gardner finished 20th (out of 22) acrꩲoss the line in both Sachsenring races, with a best race lap 1.475s from the top ♓but only a few tenths off Honda's Joan Mir.

"It'd be nice to see what I could do with more time on the bike but hopefully I𒅌've given some g♓ood feedback of what I felt with bike," Gardner said. "So hopefully Yamaha can take some positives from that."

Gardner won the 2021 Moto2 t⛦it𒉰le before spending the 2022 season in MotoGP with KTM.

The Australian, son of 1987 world champion Wayne, switched to WorldSBK with Yamaha last year and has taken 🌊his first podium this year.

Gardner, currently seventh in the WorldSBK standings, will be back on his R1 for thꦦe British round at Donington Park this weekend.
