Yes, Quartararo still had a commanding 30-point advantage over 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Francesco Bagnaia, however, the Ducati rider has won the last four races and therefore starts the Aragon MotoGP as the favourite to repeat 𒈔his victory from 12 months ago.

More worrying for Quartararo is that Bagnaia has clawed back over 60 points in those four races, whi𝔉ch is why the championship fight remains wide open with🌳 six rounds to go. 

In need of help from Yamaha, Quartararo will be using the Japanese manufacturer’s new chassis during free practice on Friday, although he won’t be able to use the new and improved 2023 engine which is t✤ied to next season. 💦; 

"I wish I could put the 2023 engine in for this year but it’s not possible," said Qu🔴artararo. "But we will have the new chassis that I felt was an improvement in some areas and maybe a little bit worse in some [others]. 

"I think we will give it a try to💞morrow. I don’t know whether [it will be] FP1 or FP2. I will try the new chass🔯is and see how it is working, but I’m quite confident."

Another rider who could be set to use new items is the returning 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez, who will be in competitiv𝔍e action for the first time in nearly four months. 

Honda brought a brand new Kalex swingarm to the Misano test last week, and although Marquez wants to begin FP1 without testing new items, the eight-time world champion has stat🌜ed 💝it’s available to use should he wish.

"About the different swingarm, i🦄t is very different! It’s different and is working in a completely different way," added Marquez. 

"You can understand that it’s a different concept and it’s possible to use here in⛦ Aragon, tꦕhis is what they [Honda] say to me. 

"At the momen♛t I don’t want to test because I’m not ready toও test anything on the bike before FP1."

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Takaaki Nakagami is another Honda rider who’s 𓂃expected to debut the Kalex swingarm this weekend after stating it was a big improvemenไt over their current option.
