168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Johann Zarco took top Honda honours with twelfth place on hisꦫ 2024 LCR debut in the Qatar MotoGP season opener.

The Frenchman also comfortably beat his💝 Pramac Ducati pace from last November’s Lusail event, being 5s faster in the Sprint and around 11s quicker over the full Grand Prix distance.

But the relentless rate o♊f MotoGP development meant that the time gap to the top remains substantial, with Zarco🤪 +14s in the Sprint and +18s in the Grand Prix.

Nevertheless, Zarco was able to turn the tables on Repsol Honda’s Joan Mir to finish as the top RCV rider with a last lap pass in the grand pri𓆏x. He also finished in the wheeltracks of Yamaha’s Fabio Quartararo, winner of the ‘Japanese Cup’.

“A good satisfaction, at least to ♑start the championship with few points,” Zarco told TNT Sports. “It was a different type of race than the Sprint because I had a little bit less speed, I could not fight with the others like I wanted at the beginning of the race, but at least I didn't get the big vibration that was a huge problem yesterday.

“So without any vibration, we could keep very constant, control the tyre and the fuel and then at the end♊ try to play for the best position [we could]. On the last two laps Fabio pushed a lot, he had saved a bit also of energy. I tried to follow him to overtake, but I could not.

“But at least we got good information. I think it was difficult to do much more during this weekend and let's see in Portugal, a different layout, what will be the behaviour of the bike and from this we will keep learning. Because we have good things, then we have al🌸so big things that we are losing, so we꧅ need to wait to get the improvements.”

Last year’s Phillip Island winner described the Honꦜda as a friendly bike to ride but admits the lap time is not good enough.

“I would say in🎶 feeling, it’s been a better transition [to Honda] than I could expect because there is a way to ride 🌌the Honda that's almost easier than the Ducati,” he said. “The only thing is you go slower!

“So just for this, I would say it's a pleasure ꦛto go on the bike, but as long as I'm racing, I nee🔯d to get an improvement on the lap time.”

Team𝄹-mate Takaaki Nakagami ⛄finished 19th on Sunday.
