While serious concerns were raised over the state of the Mandalika track surface, and emergency repairs will be ca�🦩�rried out before next month's MotoGP race, the layout of the Indonesian track received high ♏praise from many riders.

As well as copious amounts of run-off area, the 17-turn seaside circuit has some very fast corners. Among them are the Turn 6-7 right-handers, 🧸which VR46's Luca Marini labelled as 'the♛ best corners in the world'.

"I think the track is one of the best of the calendar, just it needs to be🌠 clean," said the I🌜talian.

"Apart from this, the track is reall൩y nice. Corners six and seven are the best corners in the world, it’s a fantastic place. I really enjoy that moment every⭕ lap.

"But the problem is the [clean] line is too tight. To have a race 🐷today would be difficult. You just 𒁃have to follow the rider in front and hope they make a mistake.

"If you try and overtake and go on the dirty part it's ♎impossible to stop the bike and 🌠it’s really dangerous."

Marini, preparing for this second season in the premier-class, topped the timesheets on day♒ two of testing with a lap that kept him third overall after the final day, when the young Italian focussed on a race simulation with the new Ducati GP22.

"I did a race simulation with a [medium] rear tyre. I started behind Bez and it was really difficult with the ওhot temperature💎 when you stay in the slipstream.

"I was really worried about my tyres and t🐻ried to overtake him as soon as possible because it was really hot behind him. My front tyr𒊎e was starting to become like lava and in every corner I was losing the front.

"With the slipstream you also lose a lot ไof downforce, so it’s also difficult to stop the bike.

"Anyway, I felt good feedback from 💝the tyres, from the bike. I’m quite ☂satisfied."

Followꦉing the Qatar season-opener, MotoGP will return to Mandalika for round 2 of the 2022 w🐼orld championship, on March 18-20.
