Once 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Alex Marquez established himself at the top of the Tuesday MotoGP testing timesheets in Ba✱rღcelona, only two riders were able to interrupt the Gresini rider’s reign.

The first was fellow Ducati rider and outgoing double world champion Francesco Bagnaia. But the other was a bigger surprise, Yamaha’s 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Fabio Quartararo.

Although Marquez swiftly responded, Quartararo - who𒉰 had new aero, plus a revised chassis, swingarm and engine to test - kept second place until the chequered flag fell on the 2024 campaign.

“It’s only test, but I forgot!” Quartararo said of seeing✨ his name on top. “Normally we ꦍhave to turn the page!

“It feels good to see your name on top. Even if 𝔍it's just test, you go home with a good feeling.

“We are still really far away from the top guys but at least today I could 🐬enjoy, make a great pace and do some good laps.”

Returning to the circuit where he finished eleventh in Sunday’s season-ending grand prওix, Quartararo set a best lap of 1m 39.199s to finish 0.396🐠s behind Marquez.

The Frenchman said that the revised chassis had offered the clearest improvement, aiding on corner entꦿry.

“We improved a little bit with the new chassis in som🐻e areas,” he said. “On traction, we didn't improve yet but the plan is to bring s🐓omething completely different and a bigger step in Malaysia.

“We improved [on corner entry], where we go from straight to full lean angle. This was the biggest improvement. Now we have to improve from 💦lean angle to pick up.

“But already we found the direction to improve the entry. So no💞w we have to find🌞 a way to improve the exit.”

Quartararo added: “We also tried a new engine. We tried a top fairing. Basically the plan was not to be better, but just to feel the same. And the new swingarm,𝐆 the same thing.

“The way was not to i♎mprove, but to see if we can use to red🔯uce a little bit the weight.”

T🔯uesday also marked the first time that Yamaha 𒆙had four MotoGP riders on track since 2022, with Jack Miller and Miguel Oliveira making their debuts for the new Pramac Yamaha team.

“It's great to have four rider💖s, four factory bikes,” Quartararo sa♌id. 

“Also riders coming from two di🍃fferent manufacturers and engineers coming from different manufacturers and I think that we make some steps during today's practice.”

Asked what he had been seen discussing with Miller, Quartararo replie💦d: “I spoke only for a few minutes about how his feeling was, and also he didn't put yet the ha💃rd front.

“I think that to underꦜstand our bike, one day is not enough. But it is quite imp🌜ortant to know and hear their feedback. Because I think this bike has some really strong points, like the front feeling, but also a lot of weak points that we have to improve.”

Factory team-mate Alex Rins was eighth quickest.
