Motogp 19 assen setup free#

The first priority today was to find out which chassis we prefer, the new one or the standard one. IвЂ™m happy because we worked well during the sessions and we found some interesting solutions. Valentino Rossi вЂ“В 3rd / 1вЂ™33.652 / 41 laps вЂ“ вЂњIt has been a good Thursday. Movistar YamahaвЂ™s Valentino Rossi (+0.202s), using a new frame which his team debuted last week at a private test at Motorland Aragon, ended the day in third after he had earlier topped FP1 for the first time since Indianapolis last year.

However, this is only practice and we must continue to progress, and I think that Valentino especially has a strong pace.вЂќ Dani was fastest and I was second which is good for the team. We expected Jorge and Valentino to be further ahead of us at this circuit, but this has not been the case. ItвЂ™s clear that we still have to work hard and improve, but IвЂ™m happy with how things went.

Marc Marquez вЂ“В 2ND 1вЂ™33.589 вЂ“ вЂњToday went fairly well and IвЂ™m happy because we had some more normal free practice sessions вЂ“ riding with a good pace and used tyres вЂ“ and I enjoyed myself on the bike. We have made a good start comparing different exhausts and working on setup, so tomorrow we will aim to continue in the same way.вЂќ Above all, we wanted to take advantage of the track being dry and in good condition, because here in Assen the weather is always a little unpredictable and so it was important for trying out tyres and bike setups. Repsol Honda made it a 1-2 on the combined timesheets, as Marquez, who had earlier crashed on his out-lap in FP1, set the second fastest time of the day, just 0.139s behind Pedrosa.В Dani did an exhaust comparison today and worked on various setups on his Honda RC213V machine, improving his time in the afternoon by over a second with his record breaking lap of 1вЂ™33.450 (lap 18/20), beating Casey StonerвЂ™s record pole lap in 2012 of 1вЂ™33.713.Дani Pedrosa вЂ“В 1ST 1вЂ™33.450 вЂ“ вЂњWe started well today. With this in mind, as the clocked ticked down towards the end of FP2, riders headed out on fresh tyres to try and set a flying lap. Track temperatures peaked at 40 degrees Celsius in FP2 and with the forecast for Friday showing a chance of rain, todayвЂ™s Free Practice sessions took on extra emphasis as riders tried to secure automatic qualification through to Q2. TodayвЂ™s practice sessions took part in surprisingly warm and sunny conditions at the TT Circuit Assen, the only track that has been ever-present in the World Championship calendar since it began in 1949. Pedrosa outshone his rivals to end the first day of Free Practice at the Motul TT Assen on top after setting a blistering record lap of 1вЂ™33.450 during FP2, beating his teammate Marc MarquezвЂ™s 2014 best (1вЂ™33.462) in the process.
