168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Brad Binder and home hero KTM team-mate168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Jack Miller lead&n꧙bsp;Friday practice for the 2023 Australian MotoGP at a sunny Phillip Island.

But there was more Friday drama for title leader 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Francesco Bagnaia, who suffered a repeat of last week's Mandalika practice woes - again missing out on the top ten, sending hꦇim into Saturday's Qualifying 1.

After striking straight back from his Mandalika mistake by dominating morning practice, albeit with a best time set on soft rear rubber, Bagnaia's title rival 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jorge Martin was😼 again the rider to beat as the crucial final afternoon runs began.

By contrast, Bagnaia was stillജ down in 14th. The Italian's predicament made him an obvious target for those seeking a tow (since he couldn't afford to back off) and there were no less than five riders - led by Martin, who didn't actually ꧅need another fast lap - queued up behind the #1. 

Bagnaia, who seemed annoyed by the tow&♚nbsp;seekers, was slow onto the main straight to start his penultimate lap, dropping him to 18th and piling the pressure on for his final lap. Bagnaia duly improved, but only to 11th, while Martin settled for a safe fourth.

While the cameras focused on the title leaders, Maverick Vinales and🏅 then ❀;Binder went fastest, with Miller slotting his carbon fibre chassis into a popular second by just 0.148s.

GASGAS Tech3's Pol Espargaro made it ♎three RC16s in🦹 the top five.

Out-of-work Gresini rider Fabio di Giannantonio again turned heads by༒ briefly featuring in P1 before being replaced at the top by Johann Zarco, who put in an early soft-tyre flier.

The Aprilias of Es♈pargaro and team-mate Vinales then took over, before the Pramac duo of Martin and Zarco fought back for a purple one-two headi🗹ng into the closing minutes.

After becoming the first faller this morning, Marc Marquez's confidence ওwas eroded further when he hit the ground again (at the same Turn 10) in the afternoon.

The #93 chas🍨ed Martin to leap from 17th to 5th on a soft rear, but couldn't cling to a place in the top ten and was relegated to 16th. 

A cruising Augusto Fernandez may well face a penalty for obstructing Fabio Quartararo♋ at the end of the session.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jorge Martin responds perfectly to his Mandalika mistake by dominating opening practice for the 2023 Australian MotoGP at a dry and su♔nny Phillip Island.

Martin was fastest for mu𝐆ch of the 45 minutes before returning on new soft rear rubber to blast 0.720s clear of the field (running medium rears).

Roo♍kie Augusto Fernandez was🅰 an impressive second for GASGAS Tech3 with Maverick Vinales completing the top three for Aprilia.

Reigning champion Francesco Bagnaia began the weekend in 11th afteꦜr several trips down the long lap penalty loop after braking issues into Turn 4. The Ducati tඣeam were later seen wiping Bagnaia's glove and front brake lever during a pit stop.

Marc Marquez was the first faller, suffering his 24th accident of the season when he lostܫ the front of his Repsol Honda under braking for the MG Hairpin, after Lukey Heights.

Last year's winner Alex Rins later tumbled at Turn 6, Siberia, fortunately walking away unharmed after completing his first grand ♒prix since leg fractures in Indonesia last Sunday.

Luca Marini, who retu🔯rned from a broken collarbone last weekend, suffered a big scare with an early near highside out of the fast final turn.

Reigning champion Francesco Bagnaia takes an 18-point lead over Jorge Martin into the Australian MotoGP, after the Pramac Ducati rider’s costly fall from the lead at Mandalika last weekend.

Marco Bezzecchi's Indonesian heroics, a week after breaking his (right) collarbone, means the VR46 rider has closed to 45 points from Martin. Team-mate Luca Marini, who took a debut pole position at Mandalika, also expects the condition of his broken (left) collarbone to be slightly improved.

After backing out of a planned comeback in Indonesia due to pain from his 𒁏recently fractured ribs, Alex Marquez will try again at Phillip Island - meaning all 22 riders could line up for the Saturday Sprint for the first time since the Portimao season opener.

Nonetheless, last year's Phillip Island winner Ale🔯x Rins is still recovering from leg fractures and Enea Bastianini from hand and ankle injuries.

Marc Marquez took his on๊ly podium of the season in Australia last year.

While decent weather is forecast for Friday and Saturday, rain and wind gusts reach♒ing as high as 80km/h are predicted for Sunday, prompting speculation of♚ possible schedule changes.
