168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Somkiat Chantra haಞs admitted his early struggles with Honda’s ride height device.

The MotoGP rook𒈔ie spent three days testing at the Shakedown, as permitted by the rules because it’s his first year in the clas꧒s.

Chantra will be joined by other Honda riders, and their MotoGP rivals, at the thre💖e-day official Sepang test this week where he must further adapt to his machine.

“The sh🤡akedown🌌 was good. We had the new bike,” Chantra said.

“Als♔o, we were on the way to working with the bike. We were getting better.

“The di🔯fference from Moto2 to MotoGP? A lot of electronics, the ride𝔉 device.

“Also, with the data, we worked very hard to put the ride ꧅device in the correct place. It was getting better, closer.”

Chantra wa♔s asked if he was engaging the ride height devic🐲e too early or too late.

“Very, very late! Compared to Takaaki🙈 Nakagami, he was much earlier than me,” he replied.

The physicality of riding a MotoGP bike is also a steep learniꦑng curve for Chantra.

He said: “Now, we h🍌ave💦 two bikes. My team aren’t trying to change the setting.

“They want me to know the bike and understand how it works, then to come back aᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚnd say how it is.

“After the Barcelona test, I was in pain on the bike. Since then, I’ve worked on my back and my bod🌱y.

“In Sepang, there are fast corners. For me, the p💫oint is to 🐓have more power to push the bike.”

Chantra must remember the countless parts of technology on his Honda, another big a༒daptation from Moto2.

“My bike had two brakes, on the r💧ear and in my hand,” he said.

“It is😼 different. My team said ‘we will keep it 🦄like this’.

“At some point, we use the foot brake.

“On the first day of the shakedown 𝔍i🌺t was difficult to remember everything.

“After two laps, they changed the map…

“But day by day, I tried to remember everything.”

Chantra was buoyed by a visit from Nakagami, the Honda stalwart who is a test rider this season🏅.

Also, his friend Ai Ogura is making the 🌳same transition into MotoGP with Trackhous📖e.

💃“On the last day [Nakag🗹ami] came to see me. He tried not to put pressure on me.

“He said ‘enjoy the bike’.

“Ai is also jumping from Moto2 to MotoGP.

“When we have fr𒈔ee time, we speak about MotoGP - the power and the speed.”
