168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fabio Di Giannantonio endured a rollercoaster of emotions in a dramatic MotoGP qualifying session at COTA, securing his first front-row since Qa🦋tar 2023 after a lap cancellation was rev🍰ersed.
The VR46 rider 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:split the Marquez brothers with a 2m🍒 1.189s flyer, just 0.101s from pole.
However, his joy quickly turned to despair when the la꧅p was deleted due to y🃏ellow flags, triggered by a Joan Mir crash.
A furious di Giannantonio was relegated to sixth on the grid - only for the decision to be reversed minutes later when race officials ruled that he had insufficient t💦ime to react to the caution.
"I was so angry… then so happy!"
“The goa🐼l of today was to be front row, I really pushed for this,” di Giannantonio said in parc ferme. “The weekend h꧙as been really good for us and in qualifying I knew I had something more.”
Holding second behind Marc Marquez after his fi✅rst qualifying run, the I𒈔talian felt even stronger on his second new soft tyre - only to see his best lap time wiped from the screens.
“I saw on the TVs around the track that my lap time got cancelled. I was so angry! So angry," he said. "Then I saw it ꦉappeared again and I was so happy be🌃cause the team deserves it.”
di Giannantonio will now hopꦜe to replicate his previous Qatar 2023 success, where he converted a front-row start into his maiden MotoGP victory.

“It was the first time that I put the new soft rear tyre, the bike changed a bit and I had some movements that I didn’t expect. A bit too aggre🌺ssive,” said Marquez, whose Ducati factory machine was visibly bucking as he pushed it to the limit.
“I’m fast, but now I need to try to ride a bit smoother. I think I can, bu🐈t let’s see in the Sprint if we can have the same feeling.”
