Andrea Dovizioso remains unsure as to when he will fully adapt to the 2022 M1 Yamaha after finish🀅ing day two of Mandalika MotoGP testing 19th. 

Although the Indonesian test has so far been a step in the right direction compared to that of Sepang, the former Ducati rider is yet to find the best from his M1ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚ machine. 

With race wins and a championship challenge being the primary goal for Dovizios♎o in 2ꦰ022, the Italian can therefore ill-afford to start the season slowly. 

Asked when he expects to be read🙈y for the season, or in other words gel with his current RNF Yamaha, Dovizioso said: "When I will be ready… next question [laughs]. I would like to know the answer. The important thing is to arrive ready. 

"I’m taking it day-by-day because today I’m pretty happy as we did 🥂a step with the bike and my feeling improved. I was more consistent and a bit faster on the pace. 

"I had🌺 a good feeling whe♏n I did the lap time. I did the lap not really at the end and I think the track improved a little bit. In any case everybody is so fast, it’s so tight and it’s very difficult to be on top."

Dovizioso, who suffered a crash early on in tܫhe day, also alluded to wanting a better feeling during the final day, which will be crucial as it’s the final day of pre-season testing.

The 35 year-o♈ld added: "When we started again after the crash in the morning we made improvements and this ꧋is something very important. 

"We worked a little bit on the bike and it’s nice to feel the improvement. Let’s see tomorrow if we can continue to🌳 get a better feeling." 

As has been the case throughout testing thusꦗ far, reigning world champion Fabio Quartararo was the quickest Yamaha rider - nearly three tenths between him and team-mate Franco Morbidelli. 

Quartararo also had the♚ best race pace over a 15 lap simulation, which Doviozoso was asked about. However, given tyre life and tyres themselves potentially being different across teams/riders, the former 125cc world champion 💟said it’s difficult to compare who’s faster or not in testing. 

Dovizioso added: "Yes his pace w𒐪as really good, but the quantity of tyres is not that much and everybody… depends what they want to try.&n𒁃bsp;

"You have to take a decision on the right tyre that you want to use for the lap 🔥time to compare the material or simulation and everybody does a different thing. 

"You can’t really compare them exactly with the same temperature, with the 𝔍same tyres or the same laps. The test is not that clear but I saw him today and he was very consistent a🎉nd fast. 

♕"But also I was better in the afternoon so I’m feeling a bit better in both areas - sp🌺eed wise and especially in the afternoon with the pace."
