168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fabio Quartararo started the 2025 MotoGP season in po🐓sitive fashion by finishing P﷽ractice for the season opening Thai Grand Prix inside the top-10, and therefore qualifying for Q2 without the need to go through Q1 on Saturday.

Quartararo was eighth-fastest on🦹 Friday, less than half-a-second behind Marc Marquez who was fastest on the factory Ducati.

While Marquez and Ducati may remain out of reach for the 2021 World Champion and the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Monster Energy Yamaha team at the moment, Quartararo 🦩was pleased to make it into Q2 from Practice and avoid Q1 in Thailand, something that was a rarity for him and Yamaha in 2024.

“But the goal was to be in the Q2, we are, and also only 0.2 secon☂ds ღfrom P3," he said.

Quartararo said that Yamaha’s progress over the winter meant that being in Q2 is now the targ🃏et for every Friday afternoon Practice session.

“Already it was the goal last year, the end of the season was quite great, we were almost e🙈verywhere in the Q2,” he said.

“But it’s much better to be in Q2 from Friday, a🐓nd this is the thing that is more dꦉifficult because the track is changing day-by-day, and usually when we are in Q2 from Friday we always improve a little bit on Saturday.

“So, hopefully it will be the same tomorrow.”

The French rider added that he had an improved front feeling in practice for the Grand Prix compared to the test tw📖o weeks a🤡go, where he had struggled with the front tyre.

“[I had] a little bit better feeling than the test on the f🌃ront – still not✨ really comfortable,” Quartararo said.

He added: “We didn’t change anything. But with this soft [comp🍒ound front tyre] today it was feeling a little bit better.

“Maybe the tyres fro🗹m the test were here for quite a long time and gave a strange feeꦑling.

“But today🦂 the soft was better, the hard was feeling really similar to the test, so it’s not going t🉐o be super-easy because our bike is really making the time with the front and we are not really able to do it. So, let’s see, but I think we made a good job.”
