Axel Bassani was able to use th𒉰e rain-affected Portimao WorldSBK test to improve one area of the Bimota KB998 that he felt had been lacking in Jerez.

The Portuguese test came just a few days after that in southern Spain, where Bassani had been lacking confiden🍃ce in the rear end of the bike which will꧙ make its race debut at Phillip Island later this month at World Superbike’s opening round of 2025.

“On the rear, I don’t have the feeling that I want,” 168澳🐭洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Bassani said after the Jerez test, adding that “at the moment, we’re struggling too much to𒊎 go fast.”

T✱he Italian appeared to find the progress he was hoping for in Portimao, despite running 🐲being limited due to poor weather.

“We did some laps in dry conditions🌃 on Tuesday, even🎶 if the track was not completely dry,” Bassani said.

“We did some laps 🍌and checked some things on the bike. We worked on the rear, especially on the rear shock with Showa.

“We tried something new on th🅺e rear with Bimota and it has been quite good. We improved in some areas.

“The fina💟l day at this Portimao test was not so good because it was raini𒉰ng, so we preserved one day of testing and did not go out.

“🐽We had also ran a little bit in the wet conditꦰions on day one. Now we are excited to go to Australia for the official test and the first round of 2025.”

Bassani’s crew chief, Marcel Duinker, added: “We had a very good first da🍷y. Initially it was a bit wet but straight after lunchtime we were able to continue the final part of our test🥀 programme.

“We used these four hours very efficiently aಞnd once again we tick🎶ed the boxes on our list of test items.

“Axel [Bassani] was very fast, very consist🅘ent and a🥂 very happy man.

“You can keepജ on testing for as long as you want but there is always a time to face the truth and we can say with confidence that the time is right to move to Phillip Island and start our first𒐪 race weekend.”
