Without having even completed a flying lap, the current 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:MotoGP championship l🐓eader was seen pulling off track on the exit of turn four before waving and gesturing in the direction of Marini in a bid to entice the Ita🔜lian to come past. 

Clearly unhappy that he was being fol💧lowed by ๊a Ducati rider - not the first time that’s happened in 2022 - Quartararo eventually got his wish but not before Marini spent a few laps behind the reigning world champion.

But when asked about his intentions after FP2, Marini said there was nothing behind it and that part of his reason for following Quartararo was because of how strong he was in 2019 when battling 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez. 

Marini stated: "Nothing in particular.﷽ I tried to understand his lines, how he rides here because in 2019 - in my opinion - he was the best [rider in the rac🌱e]. 

"His riding style was really perfect during the race and he just missed a little bit of tyre management compared to Marc in my opinion. In the last five laps Marc had something more. B🌳ut it was just this. 

"It’s the first time for me here in MotoGP so I wa𒆙s following him because he’s also close to me in the garage and it’s easier to start with him. But it was nothing in particular. 

"It’s better for him🍌 that I ꦐfollow him with used tyres in FP2 than in qualifying and make him nervous. 

"Marquez did this every time and nobody bothers Marquez for this. For me, things just goes on and he also follo꧋wed me. It’s just something that happens in every race [weekend] in every practice."

Quartararo was then followed by another Ducati in the form of 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fabio Di Giannantonio during the final stages 🐬of FP2, but like Marini, Di Giannantonio had no motive behind it aside from wanting to🅘 improve his overall position. 

Di Giannantonio said: "I’m trying to go alonꦚe in this final part of the season because I think now I have to fo🍸cus on myself and also prepare myself for next year. 

"At the end of the session I cras😼hed and I rejoined with the same bike that💃 was just repaired so I just needed a tow. I just asked Fabio, ‘please can we go together’ [laughs]. 

"It was just to see if he can hel𝔉p me a little bit with the slipstream. But the feeling was a little bit worse than this morning so we couldn’t improve."
