168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Francesco Bagnaia narrowly held on to a direct Qualifying 2 spot for the Argentine MotoGP, but not without a scare.

A late crash at Turn 2 with just minutes remaining in Friday practice left the Ducati Lenovo rider watching from the sidelines as🏅 his rivals improved their times.

Bagnꦡai🉐a, who had been sixth before the fall, was eventually pushed down to tenth, clinching the final automatic Q2 spot by the narrowest of margins.

M🉐uch to his relief, he escaped unscathed and remained optimistic despite finishi🦋ng 16th and 10th in the two track sessions.

“A lot!” Bagnaiaဣ told MotoGP.com, when asked if h🔯e felt relieved after the dramatic conclusion to Friday practice.

🌠“I was already seeing myself out of Q2. It could have been a♍ shame.

“But I’m happy. Happy bec﷽ause my feeling was much better this afternoon.

“We did a good step in terms of setup of the bike,ꦐ and it helped me a lo🔜t.

“Happy because finally I feel much better on braking and entering [the coꦦrners]. And tomorrow we will try to do another step.”

Third in Th♏ailand, Bagnaia is♛ under pressure to respond after new Ducati Lenovo team-mate Marc Marquez dominated the Buriram season opener with a perfect double of Sprint and Grand Prix wins.

Marquez then picked up where he left off by🤪 leading both Friday sessions in Argentina.

But with grip levels rapidly improving at the dusty Termas de Rio Hondo circuit, Bagnaia emphasised that redi🐬scovering confidence on the brakes wasꦐ essential for his chances.

“The grip changed also during the session be𒀰cause in the last part it was much better,” he explained. “I think it will be like this all weeken♓d.

“Tomorrow in the Sprint race we will do the best lap i🌳n the last laps and also in the [Sunday] race. So the important thing is that I have a good feeling back on braking. This was my main target.”

Asked if he feels ready to battle the Marquez brothers - first and second in Thailand and separated only by F🎉abio di Gi👍annantonio on Friday - Bagnaia replied:

“I feel ready to f💙ight. Who it will be, will be. But I feel ready to fight.”
