Jerez was a track of two halves for 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez during Friday practice for the Spanish MotoGP.

The Gresini rider was second quickest to Brad Binder in Sector 1 an🐓d fastest of all in Sector 3, yet only 17th in Sector 2 and 12th in Sector 4.

The Spaniard felt the afternoon wind was a factor. But - despite those obvious areas of improvement - Marquez was still under Francesco Bagnaia’s lap record heading into the final sectoಞr and finished a close third on🍬 the timesheets.

“We’re losing a bit at turn five and in the final sector but one thing is for sure: the adaptation process with the Ducati machine is over, now it is time to do some fine-tuning to race with👍 the best,” declared Marquez, who used his Austin set-up to dominate opening practice before team-mate and younger brother Alex put new rubber in the final minutes.

“The evolution is already done꧑𓆉,” the #93 told the official MotoGP website. “As we showed in FP1, I felt good immediately with the bike.

“The most important thing is that on the race pace, we were there. On the time attack, also we were there 💖in the top th𒅌ree.

“So tomorrow, the important thing is to try to be in the top six positions in qualifying to have some chance in the Sprint and main race꧅.”

Returning to the scene of his career-changing 2020 accident, Marquez, who is targeting his first Sunday podium🧸 on a Ducati, added: 

“This year I'm enjoying [again]. I'm dancing with the top group. And let's see if we can keep going like th𒉰is.

“Of course, to win we still need to have some evolutions to my riding style. But to be up there in the top five, which is the tar🍰get, we are there.”

Marquez's words could also be seen as a further message to Ducati that he is ready f🐼or full factory machinery in 2025, an aim he stated publicly on T♛hursday.

After his perfect start to the weekend, Alex Marquez was one of nine riders to fall in the afternoon but salvaged the final top ten place for direct Qualifying 2 accesꦫs.

“Too bad for the afternoon crash and especially for the traffic encountered during the time attack, otherwise we would have been much higher in the practice timesheets,” Alex said. “[But] we needed to reco൩ver the feeling and the confidence, and we did it.

“To be racing in fr𓂃ont of the home crowd obviously𝓀 helps in being fast straight away from the morning. We need to be as close as we can to the front of the grid because it’s not easy to overtake here, so our full focus is now on tomorrow’s qualifying.”
