168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Fabio Quartararo recovered from a late crash to secure a direct place in Q2 with fifth place in Friday practice for the Spanish MotoGP at Jerez.

Quartararo, who began the ꦫweekend a strong third in FP1, pushed to the front of the timesheets midway through the ﷺafternoon session.

However, a crash at the final corner, while three-tenths un♍der his best time, upset his momentum.

By the time Quartararo returned to the trac𓄧k, he had dropped to tenth. 

A cancelled lap due to yellow flaꦓgs threatened to send him to Qualifying 1, but the Frenchman dug🌳 deep to post a 1m 36.419s with two minutes remaining, easily good enough for a crucial Q2 place.

"It was an eventful day," Monster Yamaha team director Massimo Meregalli said. "Fabio 🃏is clearly strong this weekend, and it especially showed during the Practice session, which he led for a long time."

"The pace was good,” Quartararo confirmed. “Unfortunately, I had the crash during my first real time attack, but it was still a positive day. I have confiden꧙ce, especially on the front – the feeling is incredible. But when you push too much, you find the limit, like in the last corner.”

As in Qatar, the 2021 world champion looks capable of being a front row contender in qualifyin🍷g and in contention for leading♈ non-Ducati in the Sprint, but he remains cautious about Sunday’s race.

"Today we were fast, but we need to understand why we sometimes l♔ose so much grip on a Sunday [after the Moto2 race],” he said.

On the other side of the garage, 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Alex Rins had ended FP1 inside the top ten but struggled to find clean laps during Practice as yellow flags disrupted his 🦄runs. 

The Spaniard ended the day in 15th overall, meaning he will need to p🍸rogress through Q1.

"It was a tough day today," Rins said. "I decided to ride behind Fabio during my first time attack, but I wen♋t wide straigꦏht away. In the fast corners we are similar, but there’s room for improvement under hard braking."
