P1racenews AI automatic summary:
The MotoGP pre-season test at Sepang allowed for 24 hours of running – and that’s just for those who didn’t do the shakedown – so it’s no surprise that by the end of it a number of riders were attempting full-on race simulations instead of just trying parts and set-ups.
The MotoGP pre-season test at Sepang allowed for 24 hours of running – and that’s just for those who didn’t do the shakedown – so it’s no surprise that by the end of it a number of riders were attempting full-on race simulations instead of just trying parts and set-ups. Just like over a single lap, Ducati came out on top in these race simulations, with the year-old Ducati of Alex Marquez beating the factory bikes by tiny margins. The riders who completed runs of exactly 10 laps at Sepang, for a mock sprint race classification, were closely analyzed. The sprint simulation of Alex Marquez stood out with a 0.2s lead over his competition, showcasing Ducati’s performance. Meanwhile, Pecco Bagnaia’s sprint simulation had some challenges with vibrations, indicating the riders’ dedication to testing and maximizing performance for the engineering team. The Sepang test provided valuable insights into the riders’ abilities and the performance of different bike configurations.
