Following his move to the Motocorsa Ducati team, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Michael Ruben Rinaldi has been unable to show the type of form that saw him win several WorldSBK races aboard the factory Ducati machine.

While the Panigale V4 R Rinaldi is riding at present is very similar to the b🌳ike he had previously, results have been nowhere near what he would have expected.

• Danilo Petrucci provides fresh update: ‘I’m losing 𒐪quite 🌊a lot of weight’

Rinaldi has suffe𒉰red techಌnical issues throughout the opening three rounds, however, it’s clear that something has not gelled between himself the the Italian team.

Discussing his start to the year, Rinaldi told꧙ WorldSBK.com: “It’s been, I think, the toughest season for me in World Superbike.

“We are not able to achieve the res🌳ults that we’re used to and for that reason, I’m quite upset.

“If I had to talk about the first rounds, I can’t say a🎃nything ൲positive unfortunately. It is what it is and that’s it.

“Before the season started, our goal was to keep fighting for what we’re used to, which is podiums an𝔍d, on good occasions, for the win.

“We faced too many technical issues at the start of the season, and during pre-season testing. That breaks the chemistry you need to have for the top positions 🍬and so it’s tough at the moment.

“Also, the situation in the team is tense. We will see what happens, if we can get out of this situation, but it’s a really rough moment and tough to face this k🙈in💯d of situation especially when you’re used to better results.

“For a rider, it’s difficult to handle 13th positioౠn. There is nothing I can do more than what I’m doing but, at the moment, it’s not possible to stay at the top level and it’s a shame.”

‘Really difficult in this championship’

While the 🤪technical problems Rinaldi has faced haven’t helped, the Italian has also rued the lack of testing.

“Results not coming, technical problems we face, engine pr𝓡oblems in three races didn’t help the situation inside the team,” added Rinaldi.

“It’s really difficult in this championship to achieve good re🧜sults if everything is okay let alone if you face some problems.

“For example, we can see Iannone has been really strong at tracks where he tested. But🥃 at Assen, where like everybody el𝔉se, there were weather conditions problems, it was difficult to stay on top.

“I’ve been facing these kinds of problems since th📖e beginning of the year. It’s almost unachievable to stay at the front.

“The only solution is to have moღre issues with the bike and the team, start from zero, and have some races back on my level but it’s really difficult.”

In terms of overcoming the ongoing 🌠issues, Rinaldi♕ is unsure how to best deal with the situation going forward.

Rinaldi said: “I cannot speak about this because it’s something we need to handle inside the team, even if I think it’s reaౠlly difficult to solve.

“I cannot give the details, but the situation is nꦺot easy. I’ll try to do my best, perform at my best as always, but the situation is really difficult.

“We have many problems and we’re not seeing the light. It’s not easy to go into the details because it’ll take a long time and there’s nothing I want💜 to say.

“The situation is not easy, I’m nꩲot happy and that’s it.”

Looking at 2025, Rinaldi is hoping he can secure a top ride but he’s well aware that his difficult 🔥start won’t have made that 🧸easy.

Rinaldi said: “We don’t know about the futurꦓe because in motorsport, you never know. In the f🗹irst races, my goal was to stay at the front with good results and earn a good contract for 2025.

“The results aren’t there so, at the momen꧑t, I need to go back to fighting for good positions and see what the offers are.

“In this kind of moment, only the top riders in the championship can have an almost signed contract but I think I need to wait u💙ntil half the season is 🐈done.”
