Reigning champion and title leader 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Francesco Bagnaia will start second on the British MotoG𝄹P grid after his pole hopes ended with a bizarre visor sticker issue.

After breaking the lap record, Bagnaia was looking to keep clear of his rivals on his final run when the sponsor banner across t🅰he top of his visor became detached and dangled in front of the visor.

The It🌠alian reached up🍸 to rip it away but his final lap was lost.

Aprilia’s Aleix Espargaro then snatched pole positio♋n away by 0.208s.

“A bit [frustrated] because honestly the potential was there to do the pole position,” Bagnaia said in parc ferme. “We have to s⛎ay that Aleix did an amazing sector 4 and all the weekend is very fast. We also know the Aprilia in this track is fast.

“So we have to be happ♔y because we had the chance to do a very good fi🎉rst attempt.

“But then I lost the sponsor banner on the helmet. It went in front𝔉 of my eyes and I'm very angry for that because it's something that whoevꦅer has to manage these kind of things has to be more precise.

“Losing the possib꧒ility to do a better result in the qualifying for things like this is not good.”

The visor incident was not Bagnaia’s only gripe with numerous riders seen cruꦓising🃏 on track in search of a tow at the end of Qualifying 2.

“We have also to say that the situ💦ation in qualifying right now is quite ridiculous considering that ten MotoGP riders can go slow like this to follow other riders,” Bagnaia said.

“I think we are at the top of🍷 our sport. If we are here, it's because we can do things alone and it's quite ridiculous the situation.

“But until anyone [Stewards] will say so꧙mething, it will be continue like this.”

Bagnaia will starꦬt 🍨this afternoon's Sprint race ten points clear of Jorge Martin, who qualified in fourth place.
