“It was a good day,” Martin told MotoGP.com. “In the morning, I felt super good, better than usual. Everything was working perfectly and I was really comfortable with the bike🃏.

“In the afternoon, with the soft [rear] I started to struggle a bit to stop the bike. I had to change a𒀰 lot the setup but we were coming closer and closer to the top. So finally it was good.

“Th♚en my time attack was good. Still missing two tenths, but I think tomorrow I can put everything together. In general, I feel we have everything right here and I am happy for the work done.”

Repsol Honda’s Joan Mir was unable to ride on Fridayಌ due to “intense gastroenteritis”. Alex M🌜arquez then cancelled his Friday evening media debrief due to not feeling well.

Martin confirmed he i♛s also reco෴vering from sickness.

”Today was much better. For sure, in 🍌the afternoon I felt I was struggling to keep the pace physically, but I think tomorrow I will be 100%,” Martin said. “Yesterday I was at my 20%, so tomorrow🐼 will be better!”
