Although the RNF Aprilia duo failed to finish as high up the leaderboard as day-one, Fernandez was within a couple of tenths of factory riders 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Aleix Espargaro and 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Maverick Vinales, while Oliveira split the two Spaniards. 

Fernandez has looked back to his best since joining Aprilia💫, while Oliveira’s seamless transition from KTM has put him in position to be a threat from race 🐈one.

Despite crashes for both riders on the f🌟inal day of pre-season testing, Fernandez and Oliveira feel that they’re in a good place heading into next week’s season-opener.

Fernandez said: "I’m reall🔜y happy about our test, especially about today. We had a great day and have been working alone on the pace. The speed is very good. 

"In the last moment, when I trဣied to do the time attack, I had a small crash. For that I want to apologi♊ze to my team. 

"But anyway, also thanks to them, we did a really good job. I’m very happy, we 💃have an amazing bike and I think 2023 is going to be a very nice season for us. 

"Aprilia worked really well last yea💫r, they created a fantastic bike and I’m very satisfied overall."

Fernandez is yet to finish in the top ten of a MotoGP race, but after putting a dismal 2022 ca🐽mpaign with Tech 3 KTM behind him, such a result could come sooner rather than later.

For Oliveira, winning races early on in the season could present a challenge given 🥂🧔the form of many Ducati riders in pre-season, although the Portuguese rider has shown a knack for getting it done when expectations were not there for him to do so.

"Aft🔥er today, we are in a good place to start the first Grand Prix," added Oliveira. "Though we would like to be a bit more in fr🍷ont in the standings, our pace was quite strong and we have been there during the whole day which is good. 

"Unfortunately, in the afternoon today during the time attack, I had a s🎐mall crash, I was pushing and th🍒ere was nothing I could do. 

"We have some work to do, I just need to start the raceꦦ weekend to see where we are."
