A quietly confident 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Francesco Bagnaia finished Friday practice in Qatar predicting the Lusail lap record will fall in Saturday’s MotoGP qualifying.

Unlike at the three previous events, the Ducati Lenovo rider was consistently quick, eventually finishing second﷽ behind surprise leader Franco Morbidelli and ahead of team-mate Marc Marquez.

“From FP1 I was feeling g☂reat, but I was still missing something, that we found this afternoon, so very happy about it,” Bagnaia told MotoGP.com, later revealing: “We did something on the bike that was helping me more to turn ꧒more.

“I’m very ha🍸ppy about the pace and the feeling with both tyres.

“It's true that tomorrow the conditions will improve and it will not be easy to decide which rear tyre will be the correct one for the♌ Sprint race.

“But right now I'm just very happy with the🎶 feꦬeling.

“I was always in the top three𒊎 during the sessioꦬn and this is already a great step in front. We have just to continue like this.”

Despite the absence of pre-season testing in Qatar, resulting in a visibly dusty surface, Morbidelli’s time ♍attack was only a fraction from the official pole record.

“The tyreꦬs are working well and I think the record lap time will drop,” Bagnaia ཧsaid.

The double MotoGP champion came close to setting a new record himself on Friday, narrowly missing out due to an error at turn 15 which left him 🦋just 0.145s behind Morbidelli.

“Already today, I just missed a bit 🐷corner 15, but I was close to beating the record,” he reflected.

“It's incredible how fast we are right now considering that we didn't do any tests and 𓃲the condition at the start of the day wasn't the best.”

Michelin has modified the soft rear tyre to try and create an alternative to the medium compound used b🃏y almost all riders in last year’s Qatar Sprint and main races.
