Iwanbanaran.com – Cakkk… the Ducati team’s satellite victory through Bastianini was not in line with the messy performance of the factory team. Starting from Miller who DNF plus Pecco who crashed hit Jorge Martin. The question is…what’s with the new Ducati and how did Miller feel before DNF? “The motorbike is terrible,” said Jack via speedweek. Looo nyapooo??
Lenovo’s factory Ducati racer, Jack Miller, had to swallow the bitter pill at the opening of the Qatar MotoGP. Jack had to leave the race because of a problem with the motorbike. According to Jack, this is a terrible sensation because the motor can’t seem to accelerate and it threatens to be hit by another rider. Jack was annoyed because after researching it turned out that the motor electronics had a problem….
“ The motor is slow from the start, something is missing in the electronics. You could say the motor seems to have lost power. I really can’t do anything. In some places the engine power comes out 100 percent, but strangely when bulldozing a straight line… the motor doesn’t seem to have any power…” he exclaimed. Miller said the most terrifying moment was the rapid descent from 10 to 16….
“Everyone overtook me at the last corner. I was afraid of being hit by the racers behind me because the motorbike had problems when entering the racing line. I’ve tried everything. I moved ‘engine mapping’ on three different buttons A, B and C. After that I even turned it off and on but still no change. But the machine is not responding. We hope that won’t happen again.” disappointed ending…
Last… the Desmo GP22 engine is still new. Compared to the Ducati GP21, this motorbike still needs adjustments considering that all components are reportedly brand-new. No wonder this result is different from Bastianini, who is very confident with the GP21. So we’ll just have to wait for the next race at Mandalika, sis.
