World championship leader 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jorge Martin surprised himself with a new COTA lap record on day one of the 2024 Americas MotoGP.

The Pramac Ducati rider was saving energy for a long weekend at one of th🎃e most phꦏysical tracks on the calendar, but blasted 0.6s clear of the field after fitting new tyres in the closing stages of the afternoon hour.

Aprilia’s morning leader Maverick Vinales lat🎃er cut Martin’s advantage to just 0.076s bu🦹t third place Marc Marquez was 0.409s adrift of the Pramac Ducati.

“I’m feeling good,” Martin said. “For sure I didn’t expect to be this fast today because nor✅mally it’s a tra🐻ck that I struggle at.

“I was really smooth, trying to control my physical condꩲition, because I want to keep some energy for Sunday. So I wasn’t pushing at 100%, but then when I did, I did some amazing laps.

“So I’m really happy. Tomorrow will be a chall♊enging day, people are super fast and will improve. So let’s try to improve also… I feel ready.”

Martin’s closest title rival Brad Binder failed to make the top🗹 ten and will need to take part in Qualifying 1.

Franco Mor🙈bidelli completed a strong day for Pramaღc with seventh place as he continues to make up for lost testing time.
