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 Bezzecchi’s race was effectively over by lap 2 - the Noale manufacturer zeroed in on swi⛦ngarm and aerodynamic updates.

“It was a rather bad race. I went [wide] and ended up basically in last p🅺lace,” Bezzecchi admitted a✃fter finishing 14th, 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 continueꦿ working hard, starting from the tests on Monday.”

Bezzecchi had been using some new rear aer🉐o in the race.

Aprilia’s Monday testing work th🥃en saw Bezzecchi put a new carbon fibre swingarm through its paces, alongside other aero tweaks.

The goal📖 was greater rear stability under braking and acceleration - a trait sorely missing in his time 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 which worked quite well and then some aero stuff.”

The improved testing grip, after a weekend of rubber on the track, also helped work on the stability issue:𓄧 “With more grip, the bike becomes more reactive, more powerful - more everyไthing.”

With gust🌠y 🍃afternoon winds at Jerez complicating matters for many, Bezzecchi welcomed the challenge.

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

The Italian was sꦯeventh fastest 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 𝓡a big pumping and movement.”

Team manager Massimo Rivola has made no secret of h🗹is belief in Bezzecchi’s race-day potential, but stressed qualifying remains the m🌳issing piece.

“If you start 15th and finish P8, you ar𝄹e doing a good race,” Rivola said in Qatar. “The question 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 -ꦦ is ninth in the world championship, one point behind Trackhouse rookie Ai Ogura, heading into the French Grand Prix on May 9-11.
