Valentino Rossi’s lap to qualify the No.46 WRT BMW third on the grid in the LMGT3 class for the 2025 2꧋4 Hours of Le Mans has been hailed as “mega”.

The MotoGP legend is taking part in his second 24 Hours o🌜f Lꦬe Mans this year in the BMW M4 run by the WRT squad in the LMGT3 class.

The No.46 car, which he shares with Ahmad Al Harthy and Kelvin van der Linde, has looked solid this season in the World Enduraꩵnce Champion🍌ship and has been competitive throughout Le Mans practice up to Thursday.

Al Harthy got the 🀅🔥car into Hyperpole by topping Wednesday qualifying, with van der Linde topping Hyperpole 1 on Thursday.

But Rossi 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:produced a 3m54.966s to qualify the No.46 BMW third behind the No.21 Vista AF Corse car and the pole-win🍃ning No.27 Heart of Racing Aston Martin.

“I mean, I hope I motivated them all,” Al Harthy said when asked about his W♕ednesday qualifying after Hyperpole.

“They were amazing. Kelvin did an amazing job, much harder s💃ession obviously.

“🌳And for Vale to put that time in, ag♊ain I say this WRT BMW team is about team work, getting everything together.

“But this guy [Rossi], honestly, what a mega lap. What a mega l🌸ap, so happy.”

Rossi said of the result: “I’m very happy. We did a very good strategy because Kelvin started before [in H1] and I did the Hyperpole with th𝓀e pros.

“So, 🌳to stay there I’m very happy. I did a very good lap. It’s a great way to start. We will start in P3, which is a great place, and we will see.”

The No.46 car was running in the podium battle at last year’s 24 Hours of Le Mans before a termi🌸nal crash when Al H🐭arthy was behind the wheel took the BMW crew out of the race.

This year in the WEC the car made it to the podium in second at Imola, though a♉ tangle 🌸while Rossi was driving ultimately denied it what looked set to be a nailed-on win.
