Takaaki Nakagami struggled to feel an advantage when trying Marc Marquez’s new swingarm during Friday practice at the Catalunya MotoGP.

As team boss Herve Poncharal had hinted, Tech3 received a notable update from KTM for the start of the Assen MotoGP weekend in the form of a carbon fibre swingarm for Miguel Oliveira.

Ducati's carbon fibre chassis made an instant impact by winning its very first race, in the hands of Casey Stoner, on Monday night's 2009 Qatar MotoGP season opener.
