168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Aleix Espargaro was one of the standout riders in the Qatar test as he backed up his potential by finishing just behind last season’s MotoGP runner-up.

Espargaro was outside the top ten for parts of 🐼FP1, but when lap times began to heat up so d꧒id the Spaniard.

Espargaro moved just ahead of Pedro Acosta, whﷺom he had a close call with on the run to turn one.

In a repeat of🧜 Fabio Di Giannantonio and Francesco Bagnaia’s moment during the grand prix last season, Espargaro got sucked in by the slipstream and nearly ran into Acosta.

Discussing the moment afterwards, Espargaro said: “I was surprised. He almost removed all the s♛tickers off my fairing on the straight.

“Then I didn’t have clea﷽n air and I couldn’t stop the bike. We know which area we have to work.”

Regarding hiꦿs performance, Espargaro was very happy with his dry running effort before rain sur🍬prisingly fell in the evening.

“In the first practice it was quite good and the lap times were quite decent and we did a good job,” added Espargarܫo.

“In the afterᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚnoon we were just cleaning the track. The rain and under the lights; there was nothing really important to understand.

“It was very s𝓰trange. Hopefully it will not rain for the qualifying or the race.”

With dry track time limited, and a very busy schedule to follow on Saturday as the fin💧al practice will now count towards Q2 places, Espargaro said having ꦓa good feeling was key.

Espargaro said: “[It was] Very important. In the♏ first session in the dry it was very hot and I felt better than💖 in the test during daylight.

“Hopefully tomorrow we can do a good job because pra🌞ctice three will be very important to go thr꧙ough to the Q2.”
