Five MotoGP riders that shocked us during qualifying at Phillip Island

Ducati will start Sunday’s race with a great chance of claiming yet another MotoGP victory in 2022, as Martin is also joined on the front row by 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Francesco Bagnaia.
But with thꦚat said, other riders are well and truly in the mix which should make for a very exciting race at Phillip Island, the first since 2019.
Before that, here are🍰 mahbx.com’s five riders that shocked us during qualifying.
Jorge Martin - 1st
Starting with the pole sitter, Mart💃in was the first rider to go underneath the 1m 28s barrier as he smashed Jorge Lorenzo’s nine-year🐎-old lap record that was set on Bridgestone tyres.
With 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Johann Zarco showing incredible pace aboard his Pramac Ducati all weekend, such⛄ a result appeared more likely from Martin’s team-mate.
But immediately after Q2 got underway, Martin looked lik🥃e being a contender as he led the wayও following the opening flurry of laps.
Getting somewhere close to his best form in recent races, Martin♚ should be a contender for victory during Sunday’s Grand Prix although team orders at Ducati could be a factor should Bagnaia have a chance of the win.
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez - 2nd

🧸Marquez was one of the standout riders, not just in qualifying, but throughout Saturday a🥃t the Australian MotoGP.
Fastest in FP3, Marquez was also strong in FP4 before going on to claim second place in Q2 with a time that was just +0.013s o❀ff Martin’s pole lap.
The six-time premier class world𒆙 champion also produced a miraculous ‘save’ at turn ten which brought the Australians fans ꦡto their feet.
It was a lap that, at the time, was goin🌠g to be enough for provisional pole although not faster than the time he eventually set when following Bagnaia.
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Enea Bastianini - 15th
Although Bastianini could and probably should have made his way through Q1 - instead the Gresini rider lost out after being hindered by 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Miguel Oliveira who was seen touring on the racing༒ line - t🐭he second-year MotoGP rider has been lacking pace for much of the weekend.
Bastianini, who remains a title contender for Ducati, could see his hopes dented in a big way during Sunday’s race as Bagnaia, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Aleix Espargaro and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fabio Quartararo are no lower than the second row.
When Bastianini has started towards the front of the field he’s usually produced great⛦ results, however, coming through the pack after a tough qualifying has also led to mistakes in earlier rounds.

Miguel Oliveira - 21st
Winner of the Thailand MotoGP last time out,🃏 Oliveira’s hopes of becoming a back-to-back race winner have all but ended after a disastrous q📖ualifying.
Granted, KTM has lacked pace compared to its rivals this weekend so a victory challenge w🐻as never really on the car♚ds - that’s unless rain falls which is not expected.
Overhauled by Brad Binder late on in Q1, Olive꧅ira was also out-qualified by Tech 3 KTM rider Remy Gardner.
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Franco Morbidelli - 24th
With only s🗹tand-in rider Tetsuta Nagashima behind him, qualifying for the Australian MotoGP was nothing short of a disaster for Morbidelli.
After showing good race pace in FP4, Morbidelli’s struggles over one♚ lap continued as he finished a second off Zarco’s b♓est time in Q1.
The Italian has failed t🍷o show improvements as the year has gone on which is going to put him under real threat w﷽hen it comes to keeping his factory Yamaha seat beyond 2023.
