Marc Marquez “fast, but Bagnaia and Martin are flying”
"I feel fast, I feel comfortable. But when I stopped, [I saw] two guys were flying🧔 today on the rac𝔉e track"
Two riders lapped under 1m 31s on used medium tyres during Friday practice for the Emilia Romagna MotoGP.
Unfortunately for San Marino winner 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez, he wasn’t one of them.
Instead, Francesco Bagnaia and Jorge Martin were a step ahead of the Gresini rider on both race ru༒bber and soft-tyre time attacks.
Bagnaia, runner up in both ‘Misano 1’ races, broke the lap record on his way to the top wꦺith San Marino Sprint winner Martin 0.198s be🐽hind.
Marquez was 🌸third, just 0.299s from Bagnaia, but the biggest deficit was on me𓆉dium rubber.
✅Bagnaia set a 1m 30.902s on used mediums that had done over 11 laps. Martin clocked a 1mꦐ 30.844s on tyres with a similar distance.
Meanwhile, Marquez’s medium bes🥂t was a 1m 31.2ꦉ92s, and next best a '31.490s.
“We are in the top three, so this is positive. I feel fast, I feel comfortable. ꦕBut when I stopped, [I saw] two guys were flying today on the race track,” Marquez told MotoGP.com. “Pecco and Martin were super fast.”
The step made by Bagnaia and Martin came as something of a 💞surprise after Marquez set a new race lap record on the medium just two weeks ago.
“There’s small things that I can try to improve, but it's true that this year we have𒐪 a bit of a pattern,” Marquez explained. “ When it's better grip on the race track, they are faster than me.
“The grip today was super good. You saw in the lap 𓂃times. The colder conditions mean better grip, but everything more ‘sharp’. That’s where I feel a little bit more uncomfortable, but I was able to adapt well.”
The next best GP23 rider after Marquezꦕ on Friday was Marco Bezzecchi, in seventh place. Team-mate and brother Alex Marquez was 14th.
As at Misano 1, Michelin predicts riders🍬 will choose the medium compound front tyre and soft rear for the Sprint race.
The medium rear will then come into play for Sunday's full-l🔴ength grand prix, unless temperatures are too cool.
Marc 💧Marquez's first prꦅiority on Saturday will be to avoid a repeat of his ninth place on the San Marino grid, after crashing in qualifying.
