168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Francesco Bagnaia keeps the pressure on title leader 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jorge Martin by leading Friday practice for the 2024 Solidarity Barcelona MotoGP season finale.

Bagnaia shrugged of🃏f a sh🎃ock fall after the chequered flag this morning to jump to the top ahead of Marco Bezzecchi and Aleix Espargaro late in the afternoon.

Meanwhile, the KTMs of Brad Binder and Jack Miller were among those to miss out on the top tenꩵ and must take part in Saturday’s Qualifying 1.

After most riders stuck with the same set of soft front and medium rear tyres for FP1, warmer temperatures saw medium and hard fronts combined with soft or medꦛium rears this afternoon.

Before the soft-rear time attacks, VR46’s Bezzecchi was leading the timesheets on used rubꦆber ahead of Vinales, Alex Marquez, Acosta, Martin, Bagnaia, Zarco, Binder, Morbidelli and Aleix Espargaro.

Martin - wh🅠o appeared to try the biggest range of tyre options this afternoon - then 🐬went straight to the top on new soft rubber, front and rear.

Despite🎉 his speed, Martin looked agitated in the pits, frantically waving over crew chief Daniele Romagnoli to🌃 discuss some form of issue.

Meanwhile, LCR Honda’s Johann 🙈Zarco pulled out a scorching lap behind Marc Marquez to go fastest.

The final run began with Zarco, Martin, Maveric🐟k Vinales, Bagnaia, Alex Marquez, Pedro Acosta, Enea Bastianini, Marc Marquez, Aleix Espargaro and Jack Miller occupying the top ten places.

Marquez, Zarco and Fabio Quartararo were 𒐪queued up be🎃hind Bagnaia for their last laps before VR46 Academy colleague Bezzecchi blasted to the top on his own.

But not for long.

Bagnaia dipped 0.080s under the GP23 rider, with Martin stuck in fifth after losing a lap to a big front-end save. May’s pole qualifier and Sprint winner Espargaro claimed a late t▨hird, but seemed to feel more was possible.

Yell൩ow flags for a late Joan Mir accident and run-off by Acosta were swiftly cleared.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Takaaki Nakagami starts his final full-time MotoGP weekend on top of the timesheets after bizarre inci💟dents bookend ope🧸ning practice for the Solidarity Barcelona season finale.

Bagnaia down - after the chequered flag

World championship leader 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jorge Martin got the early edge over title rival 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Francesco Bagnaia with fifth place, but Bagnaia the🥀n crashed into Turn 1 after the session had ended!

Bagnaia was cruising with his elbow on the tank after a botched practice start when he 🥀seemed to be surprised by an outside pass from Maverick Vinales in the braking zone and lost the front.

Vinales later shrugged a 'what did I do?' gesture when watching𝔉 a replay in the pits.

Bagnaia had spun up, yet again, during his practi🌞ce start, perhaps while trying a low front-holeshot setting.&nbs♈p;

The good news for Bagnaia was that he trudged away unharme𓃲d.

Riding in cool but dry 14-degree air temperatures, Nakagami - after an earlier fall - fitted new soft front and medium rear tyres to shoot 0.4s ahead of Pedro Acosta in the fi♔nal minutes.

Acosta, like most riders,🌟 stuck with the same set of soft and medium tyres but began the weekend on the ground.

Tech3 team-mates tangle

Red flags were waved after just six minutes when Acosta an☂d Tech3 team-mate Augusto Fernandez suffered a strange collision on the exit of Turn 5.

Fernandez attempted to go around the outside of Acosta, who was caught up behind Brad Binder🦩.

But Acosta, leaning to the inside, was unaware of Fernandez’s move🐠 and the pair clashed on the exit, sending both riders down, damaging an air fence and forcing red flags.

Fortunately, b♕oth riders walked away, with Acosta still shocked as he spoke to his team in 💎the pits.

Before the red flag, VR46 stand-in Michele Pirro had be🌞en caught out in the opening minutes, also at Turn 5.

How Martin can become MotoGP champion in Saturday’s Barcelona Sprint:

• Martin wins the Sprint.
• Martin finishes 2nd and Bagnaia doesn’t win.
• Martin finishes 3rd and Bagnaia doesn’t finish better than 5th.
• Martin finishes 4th and Bagnaia doesn’t finish better than 6th.
• Martin finishes 5th and Bagnaia doesn’t finish better than 7th.
• Martin finishes 6th and Bagnaia doesn’t finish better than 8th.
• Martin finishes 7th and Bagnaia doesn’t finish better than 9th.
• Martin finishes 8th and Bagnaia is 10th or lower.

Martin holds🌸 a 24-point lead over Bagnaia heading into this weekend’♐s title showdown.

That means♈ Martin can be crowned premier-class champion for ♏the first time and make history as the first satellite rider to win the title in the ‘MotoGP’ era, if he wins the Saturday Sprint or scores at least two points more than Bagnaia.

While the odds are stacked in Martin’s ꦚfavour, cool temperatures and the threat of rain mean there migh🙈t yet be one more twist in what defending double champion Bagnaia has called a “championship of mistakes”.

Barcelona is a last-minute replacement for the traditional Valencia finale, cancelled following devastating f𝓰looding.

MotoGP’s visit to the track in May saw home star Aleix Espargaro announce his r💙etirement plans on the Thursday then lead Friday practice, qualify on pole and win the Sprint - after a last lap mistake by Bagnaia.

Bagnaia retaliated with victory in the grand prix, where Ma🌄rtin finished runner-up from seventh on the grid after a crash in qualifying. Marc Marqu🌠ez didn’t even reach Qualifying 2 but rode from 14th to the podium in both races.

Gresini’s Marquez holds a 1-poin💛t lead over Enea Bastianini, the rider he replaces at the factory Ducati team next year, in the battle for third in the world championship.

Fifth overall and top non-Ducati rider wil𓃲l also be settled this weekend, with rookie Pedro Acostꦐa carrying a 3-point lead over future factory KTM team-mate Brad Binder.

Miguel Oliveira returns to action for hisꦆ final Trackhouse appearance after missing five🍃 rounds due to left wrist fractures in Mandalika.

Ducati test rider Michele Pirro has been called up to ride in place of VR46’✱s Fabio di Giannantonio, who recently underwent shoulder surgery.
