168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Luca Marini left the Jerez MotoGP test caꦑutiously optimistic after completing 72 laps focused on back-to-back comparꦗisons of a new swingarm on for his factory Honda.

Marini, who finished 18th on the timesheets with a best lap of🔯 1m 37.447s, was just two tenths behind team-mate Joan Mir, who t🐻ested the prototype engine used by wild-card Aleix Espargaro during the Spanish Grand Prix weekend.

Marini, however, did not try the updated ෴powerplant.

“Today I was focused on trying a new sꦇwingarm and it looks like a little improvement already,” Marini said.

“It’s a bit too soon to see though because alwayꦇs on Monday tests here the grip is amazing so what you feel isn’t always🌜 accurate.

“There was also a lot of wind, but even like this we were doing a lot of back-to-back runs to get data for the engine🎃ers to work on. I am pleased with what Honda🐻 HRC have prepared and a good day for us.”

While Mir’s prototype engin💯e was not in Marini’s programme, the Italian said he had heard encouraging feedback.

“No. We shared the items between the riders and this was not planned for me at the moment,” he said. “But I heard some comments and it feels like a littl🦋e improvement that's great to have.

“So let's see how and when we can have this new pr🎶ototype of engine and for sure it will be a little step forward. We are satisfied and happy for this.”

Marini heads to next weekend’s French Grand Prix at Le Mans holding twelftജh in the world championship standin💝gs.
