The four KTM riders were left towards the tail of the timesheets for much of last weekend’s test, with only an ‘insane’ lap by 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Brad Binder pushing the South African into ninth.

Meanwhile, new team-mate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jack Miller was 17th (+0.941s), followed by the GASGAS bikes of 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Pol Espargaro (18th) and rookie 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Augusto Fernandez (22nd).

In an interview with Guidotti said: “We are not happy. Of course we are not where we [want to be]…. We face some unexpected issues. So we really have to understand this strange behaviour and solve it qui💞ckly because we really are far.

• Aprilia wings ‘make a big difference’, ‘on th🐷e shoulders next!’
• Huewen: ‘Marquez will pull something out the bag, bu🤡t Ducati streets ahead’
• Mil𝓀ler: Baꦑgnaia ‘changed man', Alex Marquez 'impressive, happy for him'

“We know we couldn’t close the gap in one winter, but then we miss ﷺmaybe more and we have to understand better," continued Guidotti.

“The ride♛r feeling from Miller’s side is not too bad, but is still slow. He’s getting confidence and speed run-by-run b🐭ut of course it’s still not enough.

“For Brad, it’s a big surprise for him b🍸ecauꦗse it’s not the bike he was used to riding and the feeling is completely different.

“We doඣn’t have enough time to maybe solve everything, but for sure we have to solve something and give the riders a better package [for the first race].”

While former Ducati race winner Miller insisted he is getti🍌ng more comfortable on the KTM with each day, Binder felt that improvements to the turning of the RC16 have resulted i𒀰n rear grip issues.

"My feeling with this bike has been the same since I rode it for the first time at Valencia," he said at Portimao. "We’ve tried a lot of set u🐭ps and different things. Some things have helped me have a bit of a better feeling but ওI have one issue: we need rear grip.

"The bike is spinning a lot and when we brake we don’t have a loꦗt of contact. It’s something that has been quite diff🤪icult to solve at the moment.

"The guys did a🍸 great job finding some of the things we’re looking for [for 2023]. The bike’s lജighter, it turns a little bit more. but it came at the expense of a lot of rear grip."

As he prepared to leave Portimao, Binder suggested a solution to the rear grip woes won't come from set-up changes alone: "It 🃏needs hardwa🐼re"

The 2023 sܫeason-opener takes place at the same Portug🐟uese circuit next weekend.
