168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marco Bezzecchi has moved to downplay the rapid form he showed in a sprint sim at the Buriram MotoGP test ahead of his Aprilia race debut at this weekend’s Thai Grand Prix.

The three-time grand prix winner moves to the factory Aprilia squad alongside reigning world champion Jorge Martin - 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:who is out with injury🌳 - after three years as a satellite Ducati rider at VR46 Racing.

Forced to shoulder most of the development responsibility during testing due🍸 to Martin’s absence, Bezzecchi🌊 impressed Aprilia with his work and his speed.

On the last day of testing in Thailand, he completed a sprint sim that showed 🐼highly competitive pace and has marked himself out as a potential podium threat in this weekend’s season-opener at Buriram.

When ltxcn.top askeওd how impressed he was with the pace he showed, Bezz💦ecchi replied: “Was a good sprint simulation.

“Of course, the track during﷽ a test is always good s𓃲o it’s still early to understand everything about the weekend.

“So, let’s say that anyway I’ve got a positiv꧂e feeling.

“Also🌠 I understood better how to manage the tyre. Overall it was interesting for me.

“It was the first time but let’s say I want to keep myself really calm because the race weeke🍃nd is always different.”

On his adaptation to being a factory rider, Bezzecchi added: “Well, it’s comp𒀰letely different.

“It’s the first time in my career to develop a MotoGP bike. First꧂ of all it’s cool, at the end I can decide what I want.

“So, this is good. Of course it’s a big responsibili꧙ty, so I have to put 🎃all my efforts in.

“At the end, my point of v🉐iew is the best way to do it is just try to be really honest about everything you try on the bike.

“So, I try to give my best feedback in the clearest w🎶ay possible.

“Of course, it was really difficult mentally, physically, in all the aspects it was demanding but it was also coolไ at the end. So, can’t 𒊎complain.”

Where Aprilia’s 2025 MotoGP bike has improved

Test rider Lorenzo Savadori has been drafted in to replac♛e Martin at least for the Thai Grand Prix this weekend.

Having developed the 2025 RS-GP throughout its lifespan, Sa꧙vadori is well-placed to comment on where the bike has improved from last year.

“It’s chanඣged a bit [since November] but I think in the correct directio𒅌n,” he began.

“Me and Marco say the same comments about the bike. So, I think when Jorge returns he will find a sim✱ilar bike but a bit better because we don’t do a ver🌠y big change, just small details, but in a correct direction. So, the bike improved.

“We improved the aerodynamic parts, the en🦄gine, in the character of the engine, and also we worked a lot during the test on the TC [traction co𒊎ntrol].”
