But here in Qatar, I made some mistakes, losing the confidence I had. We tried to work in several ways, but I didn\u2019t recover all my confidence. At the end of the last day, the mistakes have prevented me from getting good lap time. But I\u2019m satisfied with the work we\u2019ve done. The only way is to continue working hard.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>Andi Farid Izdihar #19: P26<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/mivv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/izdihar.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-97426\" src=\"https:\/\/mivv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/izdihar-300x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201c<\/strong>After these three days of testing in Qatar, I feel I\u2019ve made a big improvement riding this Moto3 bike. We planned to work step by step, from Portimao and Jerez until here. I\u2019m a little disappointed because, in the last moment, doing the long run, I\u2019ve crashed. Until that moment, I was working very well, riding confidence at an interesting pace. My best lap time doesn\u2019t reflect my real potential, and I feel motivated to show how can I do here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>Hiroshi Aoyama &#8211; Team Manager<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/mivv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/aoyama.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-97432\" src=\"https:\/\/mivv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/aoyama-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cAfter testing in Portimao and Jerez, both riders have done more than 100 laps total on three test days in Qatar. It hasn\u2019t an easy condition to work because of a lot of dust on the track, but we could see quite a good progression from both. Last day we tried to do a race simulation. Unfortunately, Yuki had some issue on the bike, and he couldn\u2019t perform as he wanted. Andi crashes, and he couldn\u2019t finish the long run. What we\u2019ve seen on the test gave us a lot of information. Now we take a little bit of rest to recover energy for the start of the season. Because of the pandemic situation, it isn\u2019t easy to fight here to do tests, but many people help us prepare for these tests and the next races. So, we are happy to be here and happy to be ready to fight for the first Qatar races. We\u2019ll see what 2021 bring to us; we are very much looking forward to starting the season with our riders.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mivv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/bike2-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-97444 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/mivv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/bike2-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/><\/a>\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/mivv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/bike-1-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-97438 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/mivv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/bike-1-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After IRTA tests, tomorrow the curtains comes up on the first exciting day of the World Championship with the official free practice sessions starting at Losail, in Qatar.
