What is interesting is that championship<br />
runner-up, Pecco Bagnaia, continued his<br />
excellent form to finish on top and praised the<br />
2022 bike after believing that Ducati would<br />
find it difficult to top the <strong>2021</strong> machine, which<br />
he also praised. This is bad news for everyone<br />
else.<br />
Yamaha’s Fabio Quartararo finished the test<br />
third and found the 2022 Yamaha is not much<br />
different to the <strong>2021</strong> model. The Frenchman<br />
was hoping Yamaha would bring more top<br />
speed for 2022 but didn’t seem too overjoyed<br />
so far. There’s still a long way to go until<br />
Qatar 2022.<br />
Brad Binder finished the test as top KTM but<br />
down in 13th place. This shouldn’t worry anyone<br />
because Binder, like much of the rest of<br />
the field, spends testing doing laps and giving<br />
feedback. Sunday at Qatar is what counts.<br />
What to do for the rest of the year?<br />
We have some waiting to do until the next<br />
test in February next year.<br />
May we suggest passing the time visiting<br />
your dealer and riding motorcycles?<br />
Thanks<br />
