168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez turned around a messy FP1 to enjoy one of his best Fridays of the MotoGP season in Austria.

The Gresini rider, who felt he has been playing catch-up during recent events, came into the Red Bull Ring again tar📖geting a clean weekend.

18th on the morning timesheets didn’t look good but Marquez's lowly position didn't represent his speed, having 'lost' much faster laps, or fܫeeling wi💞th the bike.

Marquez duly leapt up the timesheets to lead in the afternoon session, on his way to 4th place and direct Qualify♐ing 2 access.

“In FP1, I was happy because the feeling was there. But there were many yellow flags, red flag, sometimes I touched the green in the run-off area and so most of the laps were cancelled,” Marquez told Moto👍GP.com

“But i⛦n the afternoon, we started in a good way and the most important thing is that I feel muc𒆙h more comfortable with the base at this circuit.

“That means step-by-st🐈ep I get more and more confidence because the feeling with the bike was better.

🦹“It looks like we are in the top four-top five [group] and now it will be important to be in the top six in♉ qualifying.”

He confirm𓆉ed: “This was one of the best Fridays of the season. It’s true that Sachsenring was good, but unfortunately in the afternoon I had the🍃 massive crash.

“But today was a very good Friday. I already said I needed to approach FP1 a little bit different because in the past I’ve had some cꦇrashes that I didnᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚ't understand.

“Today we approached in a different way and also the bike setup works be🅘tter, so the team did a great job.

“It’s only Friday, but honestly speaking, I felꦦt like I was two steps behind the others in the last races and now I'm one step behind.

“So we need to keep working on☂ the small details, but the last step is the most ꧙difficult!”

Casting an eye over his rivals, Marquez said: “Especially Pecco was super fast. Martin also was very fast and Bast🌄ian♋ini, he’s tenth but on race pace he was fast. Also Morbidelli, it looks like he’s riding in a good way.

“So let's see. We n🎀eed to try to understand if we can fight with them tomorrow.”

Marquez heads into Saturday’s Sprint ra♒ce fourth in the world championship, 13 points behind double Silverstone winner Bastianini.
