Two MotoGP test riders came away from last Sunday’s chaotic French Grand Prix in wet conditions with unexꩵpected big results for their respective teams.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Takaaki Nakagami made his first MotoGP appearance as a wildc💝ard for Honda at Le Mans having stepped away from full-time competition at the end of last year.

Qualifying last, Nakagami was one of a handful of riders to start 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:the grand prix on wet rubber and benefited from the gamble as he came through to💖 finish second-best Honda in sixth.

That marked his best grand prix result since the 2021 Styrian Grand Prix,ꦫ when he was fifth for LCR Honda.

“I didn’t expect that chaos in the Sunday race,” he told MotoGP’s official website.

“Everyone told me Sunday would be maybe ꦦwe🍃t or dry, but it was super tricky.

“It was 🌺something that I didn’t expect, those difficult conditions.

“But anyway, I think my decision was correct.

“So, it was a tough one but I’m super happy I was able to finish the race and also a gift ꦯto the team. P6, of course, I didn’t expect. So, I’m so happy.”

Aprilia’s 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lorenzo Savadori achieꦏved his best ever MotoGP result in the French GP, as he came through from the back of the grid to finish ninth.

Savadori has been deputising fo🥂r the injured Jorge Martin all season and had previously only score♚d one point in 15th at the Americas GP.

His best premier class result before the French GP was an 11th in 2023 at Assen, though Savadori bel🍌ieves he could have done even better than ninth at Le Mans had he not had a “huge drop” in grip from his medium rain tyres.

“It was a great race and a good result,” he said.

“It’s a shame about the huge drop in performance with the medium rain tyres, otherwise𒈔 we would have been able๊ to do something better.

“But in any case, some interesting tꦺhings came out o🍬f this race.

“I’d like to thank all of Aprilia, the racing department, and the team, because we are al🎃l working🌟 at 100% to grow the bike.

“I would especially like to dedicate this good result to Fabrizio Borra⛎, my physiothera𒈔pist who I have known since I was a kid, and who unfortunately has passed away.”
