Bonora explained that Martin had made a step at the Jerez test.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe found in Jorge\u2019s [Martin] side, in particular, we put him on the bike in a better way, with the position [at the Jerez test],\u201d Bonora said.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe feels better. Also the setup changed a little bit \u2013 it was not far from Marco, but a little bit different because he\u2019s a different height, a different weight, so it\u2019s necessary to fit 100 per cent for him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAfter the Jerez test, we found something for him, and also, in the electronics side, on both we found something.\u201d<\/p>\n
Martin\u2019s strength reflected badly on Bezzecchi, who was comfortably out-paced by his teammate in both the Sprint and grand prix at Le Mans, although it\u2019s the Italian who leads the championship by one point heading to Barcelona on 15\u201317 May.<\/p>\n

\u201cHere, he [Bezzecchi] missed something,\u201d Bonora said of Bezzecchi\u2019s Le Mans weekend.<\/p>\n
\u201cSince Friday we worked a lot, in particular in the changes of direction, in some places of this specific track because this track layout you need to have an agile bike, but a stable bike as well because with these long straights it\u2019s necessary to keep the wheelie as low as possible.<\/p>\n
\u201cAt that moment, we found something a little bit better on Jorge\u2019s side.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cProbably his confidence was a little bit better than Marco and this was the difference during the race.\u201d<\/p>\n
