While Alex Rins gained direct Qualifying 2 access on Friday at the Catalan MotoGP, Monster Yamaha team-mate 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Fabio Quartararo’s afternoon was more complicated.

An early accident later contributed to the Frenchman missing ten crucial minutes as he waited for a change of chain length, while yellow flags then cost him a final shot at the top⛦ ten.

“We are happy for Alex that he got into Q2 at his homeꦰ GP, which is where he should be,” said team director Ma♕ssimo Meregalli. 

“[But] had it not been for Fabio's crash, delays in the box, and the late yellow flags, we think Fabio had the pace and speed to also be inside the top 1🌺0.”

The Frenchman, among seven fallers in the afternoon (Brad Binder and Fabio di Giannantonio crashed twice), said that the left side of th🐼e tyre was proving tricky to warm up despite the high track temperature.

Incidents and yellow flags aside, Quartararo felt he still cannot exploit the extra grip from new soft🌺 tyres and was left 14th (+0.790s).

“The pace was pretty good. But missing Q2 is not the best,” he said. “I can make ’39.6 on the pace, so why do I do [only] ‘39.3 on the time attack? This is something that I c🌌annot understand.

“Alex, if you check the pace and the one lap, makes a big difference. But for us, no.♌ E♑ven in the test in Mugello the one lap was also a problem for us.  We have to analyse why.

“Of courseꦗ, there is low fuel and that is what makes me gain [some] lap time. But I don☂'t know why we cannot make a step like everyone else.”

Meanwhile, Quartararo praised the introduction of the new Yamaha aero as “a great decision” that helps when enteri🎀ng the cornersꦰ. 

“But we are working on other areas that can ma🐽ke us win much more time," he added.
