It was also the first experience on MotoGP bikes for rookies Luca Marini and Enea Bastianini. The latter was quickest out of all the rookies on most occasions and will look to continue that trend throughout the year.With both riders being in the same team and thus having the exact same bikes, it will give a good indication of who has the edge as the season progresses.Speaking at the conclusion of the test, Marini said: “Unfortunately, the weather today did not allow us to go out on track, but we have worked a lot in the box.”We had all the data from yesterday’s track simulation to analyze, especially the tyres and the drop off. We were also able to make a comparison with the other Ducati.Related ArticlesaccImages.createImage(); Race simulations the next aim for MotoGP rookies Marini and Bastianini in QataraccImages.createImage(); Race simulations the next aim for MotoGP rookies Marini and Bastianini in Qatar”The goal for the race weekend is to be able to find a better feeling on the front and enter into the corner more directly and turn better.”Like his team-mate, Bastianini summed up how the test went and also the learning process he’s gone through.”Today there was a lot of wind, it was impossible to go out on track so we couldn’t move forward. Moto GP is another world; I have a lot of fun and it’s very special to me,” said the 23 year-old.Related ArticlesaccImages.createImage(); MotoGP rookies Marini, Bastianini and Martin complete their first laps in QataraccImages.createImage(); Marco Bezzecchi discusses why he turned down Aprilia MotoGP ride”These days I have been able to try the bike, the first few days I was stiff, but then I relaxed, and I have been able to enjoy and learn from the rest of the riders.”On this track we have learned a lot and I hope to get to make a good race.
