168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Marc Marquez overcame some early Honda instincts to make an immediate impact on 𝄹his first race weekend as a Gresini Ducati MotoGP rider.

The Spaniard set the fourth fastest lap time (+0.177s) in opening Friday practice at Lusail, then made the best of a shock evening shower 🧸to set the pace on his wet Desmosedici debut in the second session. 

That w♛ould also normally have secured the eight-time world champ🌄ion direct access to Saturday’s Qualifying 2. 

But the wet tra💟ck under floodlights scenario had never been attempted in a MotoGP sessi🏅on before. 

When consulted by R❀ace Direction, most riders are understood to have voted in favour of converting the wet session into a free practice, for safety reasons, alt🏅hough the likes of Marquez and Jack Miller are rumoured to have voted against the move.

The change meant Q2 access was moved to an extended Satuꦦrday practice, immediately followed by qualif♌ying itself. 

“I was looking for a solid day,” Marquez told MotoGP.com. “The main target was trying to be in Qu♔alifying 2 straight away, but they changed the schedule and we moved the practice to Saturday.

“[Anyway] I tried for the first time the Ducati bike in wet, in Qatar w🃏hich was super strange, but the feeling was good and I’m happy.”

The revised Saturday schedule means some riders will have to do time attacks for three consecutive sessions (P3, Q1, Q2) in less t🤪han an hour.

“It will be a very stressful day,” Marquez said.

Marquez warned on Thursday that,🐻 under such pressure, he is still battling to bury his old Honda instincts, which again emerged oꦍn day one.

“I went out in FP1 and my instinct🐎 when I was with other riders was riding like a Honda,” he explained. “Then I slowed down a bit and I൲ said ‘OK, calm down’. And then in the second run, I start to ride like Ducati.

“And then it was better, but tomorrow also I need ℱto control and it will be not easy. The first target is to try to be in Qualifying 2 but the times are super tight and everything can h𝓰appen, but the feelings in both dry and wet conditions were good.

“On the dry there are 3 to 4 riders who are quicker than us, but we need to keep working and keep discovering the 📖bike little by little.”

Among those ahead of Marquez in the dry was a certain Pedro Acos💦ta, the star rookie that Marquez has tippe𒉰d for race wins and perhaps even a championship challenge his season.

“I said yesterday, Pedro Acosta is a super 𒈔talented rider. The [KTM] bike, as Binder showed last year, is working in a good way. And he will fight for the victories, with podiums and we will see for the championship.

“But he's a super talented rider and he will have a lot of years of MotoGP succ🍎ess🎀.”

That talent was on display as📖 Acosta produced a Marquez-s🅘tyle save through Turn 1 in the dry opening session.

“That was a good one! Believe me,” said Marquez.
