A slow start to the day for reigning MotoGP champion 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Francesco Bagnaia appeared to put him on the backfoot compared to the likes of 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Jorge Martin and 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Marc Marquez.

The reigning world champion made a very swift return to p☂it lane in FP1 before remaining in the garage for some time, as he was discontent with the behaviour of the rear tyre.

But Bagnaia managed to pull out a lap time good enough for the top ten, before 🍎the evening’s wet FP2 resulted in no changes to the overall order.

Speaking to MotoGP.com aftꦑer day-one, Bagnaia said: “For sure it was not the first day I was expecting but unluckily we didn’t have the maximum or best feeling ever on the bik💯e.

“The bike was working well but ther🐠e was something that was not working well.

“I’m not happy overall but we know that ✅our potential is much higher and we can fight for the top positioᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚns. My feeling was not the best.”

While Marquez and Martin hit the ground running on day-one, Bagnaia’s team-mate Enea Bastianini also seemed more comfortable than the two-tiဣme world champion.

Bagnaia admitted he can rely on his ‘normal’ setting to try and♛ generate more performance which is his aim heading into Saturday’s action-packed qualifying and sprint race ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚday.

Hoping to be further forward, Bagn🌱aia said: “We know the setting🍌 perfectly and we know where our potential is.

“I’m expecting t🌺o have a good feeling overall,🍰 tomorrow. The condition of this FP2 practice in the wet will not be the best for the sand but we we try to be in the top ten.”
