Aprilia’s quest to improve rear stability and cure 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marco Bezzecchi’s qualifying headaches took centre stage at the Jerez MotoGP test.

Returning to action just 24 hours after Sunday’s Spanish MotoGP - where Bezz𒉰ecchi’s race was effectively over by lap 2 - the Noale manuf🥃acturer zeroed in on swingarm and aerodynamic updates.

“It was a rather bad race. I went [wide] and ended up basically in last place,” Bezzecchi admitted after finishing 14tꦿ൲h, despite showing a strong pace in the latter stages (see below)

“I lapped well, but the result had🎶 already been compromised. It’s a real shame. We’ll continue working hard, starting from♋ the tests on Monday.”

Bezzecchi haꦯd been using some new rear aero in the race.

Aprilia’s Monday testing work then saw Bezzecchi put a new carbonꦅ fibre swingarm through its paces, alongside other aero tweaks.

Th💦e goal was greater rear stability under braking and acceleration - a trait sorely missing in his ti🏅me attacks this year, with the Italian qualifying just 9th, 9th, 13th, 13th, and 11th so far.

“For sure with the soft new tyre it’s really difficult to ride with so much grip and not having good stability,” Bezzecchi said. “We tried a swingarm wಌhich worked quite well and then some aero stuff.”

The improved testing grip, a♌fter a weekend of rubber on the track, also helped work on the stability issue: “W𒈔ith more grip, the bike becomes more reactive, more powerful - more everything.”

With gusty afternoon winds at Je🌸rez complicating matte🔥rs for many, Bezzecchi welcomed the challenge.

“The wind is goꦺod for trying aero,” he explained. “If it’s working well with strong wind, probably without strong wind it’s working as well.”

The Italian was seventh faste🌃st and the top RS-GP rider by the close of testing, 0.739s behind Marc Marquez.

Aprilia test rider and 🌸temporary team-mate Lorenzo Savadori confirmed the team’s direction: “We try to do more stability on the bike in the braking phase and also in acceleration… to stop a big pumping and movement.”

Team manager ౠMassimo Rivola has made n༺o secret of his belief in Bezzecchi’s race-day potential, but stressed qualifying remains the missing piece.

“If you start 15th and finish P8, you are doing a good race,” Rivola said in Qatar. “The ques♍tion mark will be - if Marco starts 8th, can he win the race? This I hope that we’ll discover soon.”

Bezzecchi 💜- who has a best race finish of sixth this year - is ninth in the world championship, one point behind Trackhouse rookie Ai Ogura, heading into the French Grand Prix on May 9-11.
