168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez has played down his chances of leaving the Gresini team with a podium finish in this weekend's Solidarity Barcelona MotoGP.

The Spaniard fought his way from 14th on the grid to the rostruജm in both of May’ꦡs Catalunya races, since which he has won four times on the Ducati.

But Marquez was only eighth quickest in Friday practice for the s𒅌eason finale, as the thi⛦rd-best Ducati GP23 rider behind Marco Bezzecchi (second) and brother Alex Marquez (seventh).

“It was not a surprise, e🐟very time I ride here in Circuit de Catalunya, I'm struggling more than usual” Marquez said. “Now I have extra work, to try to improve, to try to feel better.

“The only positive thing today is that we are in Q2 and that we improved from FP1 to Practice. So let's see if tomorrow we ca🐟n do another step.

“The target will be trying to be close to🐻 the top five positions because this GP the podium will be super diffic💧ult.”

Marquez revealed that he seems to be suffering more than mostܫ in the cooler tempera☂tures.

“It was a very strange condition,” he said. “It's the same for everybody but on my personal side, I♔ feel much wo♒rse than in May.

“It was d✱ifficult to understand where is the limit. You can lose the front super quick. If you push too much the tyres, you 🌺destroy it because the cold temperature.

“So everything is tricky. ♏But we have a lot of tyre options. Michelin did a good job and let's see which one is the best for the races.

“But in terms of pace, as happened in𒁏 the last GP here, I'm not super far. When the tyre drops, I feel better than when the tyre is new.”

Marquez is one point ahead of Enea Basti𝓀anini in the battle for third in the world championship. The It♌alian also struggled on Friday, finishing in tenth.
