After injury scuppered his Sepang MotoGP test, 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Raul Fernandez was on top form in Qatar as he finished f🍷ifth fastest.

Less than a tenth down on Aleix Esparga♉ro and half a tenth faster than Maverick Vinales, Fernandez showed his potential aboard the RS-GP23 machine, which he will swap for a 2024-spec bike midway through th⛦e year.

But Fernandez was quick to point out that trying for a fast lap was not the main๊ aim at Lusail.

“We didn’t really focus on a fast lap, we just tried the soft tyre,” said Fernandez. “The key for this test was not to create any dangerous situations, so when I used the soft tyre, it was not in order to try to push, but to understanꦦd it because I never used this kind of compound before on this bike.

“So, this was important for us. Anyway, I still didn’t want to focus on a single fast lap. I’m just happ🏅y about the work we did.

“The pace was very good, especially when working with t🌜he used tire. For us it was ꦍgreat, also seeing that I don’t feel 100% fit yet, which hopefully is going to improve for the GP.”

While Fernandꦬez spent much of day-two at the front of the field, team-mate Miguel Oliveira was unable to demonstrate the same speed.

Oliveira was the onl🌠y Aprilia rider not inside the top 10, and although it was a better test for the Portug𝕴uese rider than Sepang, he was still ‘not fully satisfied’.

Olivei🍎ra said: “It was a better day. I’m not fully satisfied, but at least we took a good step forward. It’s just a shame that we got to a good feeling too late.

“Finally, it was four days with the same bad feeling and today with a slightly diffe♏rent bike, I could finally start to make some steps and be competitive.

“I couldn’t make the best of the whole bike because your braking points, the way you ride, if you get a good biꦑke day by day, you can fine-tune those points.

“Also, during 🌃today, we were building up a good speed, then lost some time with one bike, but then with the time-attacks everything worked, more or less, ok.”
