Aprilia team-mates 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Maverick Vinales and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Aleix Espargaro put in a strong combined performance with fourth and seventh places during Friday practice for the French MotoGP.

Vinales, who identified an issue with his spare bike after a disappointing Sunday at Jerez, was delighted to be so close to the top despite some front locking - which he s💝ees as an obvious area of improvement on Saturday.

“The feeling with the front tyre wasn’t fantastic, but I was able to be fast a𓆉nyway. In terms of race pace, we are right there,” said Vinales, who also lapped just 0.269🍬s from Ducati pacesetter Jorge Martin on his time attack.

“During my 💯time attack, a yell🥀ow flag kept me from improving my time, but I was still extremely close. I’m confident that we’ll take a step forward tomorrow. I’m sure I can battle against the Ducatis.”

Espargaro meanwhile rediscove▨red the kind of spee✨d he had shown at the Qatar season opener.

“After Qatar, this is the track where I’ve been the fastest,” he said. “I feel extr💮emely good with the bike.

“I made a small mistake during my time attack in that I went long on turn 9 and lost a 💮couple tenths of a second.

“The feeling is better than I expected here. I🎃 have been fast and competitive from the start. I really enjoyed today.

“After the Jerez test, we tried to lower my body pos🎐ition on the bike and it’s better on the brakes.”
