Marc Marquez fastest as clouds gather in Austrian MotoGP warm-up
Marc Marquez 🙈leads Francesco Bagnaia in🌸 warm-up for the Austrian MotoGP.
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez helped put yesterday’s Sprint mistake behind him by leading an overcast warm-up on Sunday morning at the Austrian MotoGP.
While the majority of rid🤡ers selected medium front and soft rear tyres for the Sprint, Michelin predicts all riders should choose medium front and rear for the grand prix… assuming it’s dry.
As such, most riders used the medium rear in the ten-minute warm-up, with Marquez topping the session courtesy of a 1m 29.363s on his 4th of 7 l𒉰aps.
That put the Gresini rider - who crashed from a safe second in the Sprint - 0.162s ahead of future factory Duc📖ati team-mate Francesco Bagnaia, winner of the Sprint and chasing his third Red Bull Ring GP victory in a row🐼 this afternoon.
Alex Marquez, who jo♈ined his brotheꦰr on the Saturday DNF list, was third fastest this morning, also on soft front-medium rear tyres.
Franco Morbidelli was the𒊎 top Pramac rider in fourth, with mediums front and rear, while team-mate, pole qualifier and joint title leader Jorge Martin w🐓as only 21st.
However, 𒉰Martin, whose left-hand wound hampered his start in the Sprint before a long lap penalty for straight-lining the c♛hicane, was using a very worn medium rear tyre that had done 27 laps, effectively a full grand prix distance.
To put that into context, all the riders ahea♒d of Martin fitted a new rear tyre for warm-up.
"I think we can match Pecco," said Martin, second on Saturday 🤡and 1.333s from Marquez's fastest lap this morning.
Martin, Bagnaia and M🎶arquez will again form this afternoon'🌟s front row.
Jack Miller (fifth on Saturday) and team-mate Brad Binder w🌟ere an evenly matched fifth and sixth for KTM with factory Aprilia riders Aleix Espargaro and Maverick Vinales likewise seventh and ✨eighth.
Espargaro completed the podium on Sat𒐪urday but knows it’ll be hard to break Ducati’s podium dominance this afternoon - Desmosedicis having filled the podium for the past seven GPs in a row.
But the weather could yet play a role, 😼with a big storm soaking the circuit on Saturday evening and cloudy skies overhead this morning.
A lot of riders tried bike swaps in warm-up due to the risk of rain, with rookie Pedro Acosta clipp🔯ing his second bike during his stop.
Peter has been in the paddock for 20 years and has seen Valentino Rossi come and go. He is at the fꦗorefront of the Suzuki exit story and Marc Marquez’s injury issues.
