168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Jack Miller completes a perfect Fri♓day practice double for the 2023 French MotoGP at Le Mans.

The rain showers held off, allowing those outside the top ten after morning practice - ✱including home hero Fabio Quartararo and the returning ⭕Marc Marquez - a second chance to claim direct access to Qualifying 2.

It was mission accomplished for Marquez - despite barrel-rolling his Repsol Honda in a late accident after losing the front into Turn 9, on what looked like the new Kalex chassis - but Quartararo will be among those heading into Satur🀅day's Qualifying 1.

Aleix Espar♈garo, Franco Morbidelli, Lorenzo Savadori, Joan Mir, Augusto Fernandez and Alex Marquez were all early fallers in the cool and windy afternoon conditions, with Jorge Martin also joining the lengthy falls list.

Espargaro then looked to suf🌳fer ꩲ;some kind of technical issue after leaving the pits, the Spaniard raising his hand and looking down at his factory RS-GP as he cruised back to the pits.

Time attacks beg🎃an, slightly earlier than usual, in the final 20mins. Quartararo was among the first to strike on new softs, putting several feet-off scares behind him to deliver a tidy lap that propelled the Monster Yamaha star from eleventh to fifth. 

But he'd need more to stay in the top ten and French hopes w💮ere again led by Pramac ༒Ducati's Johann Zarco (fifth).

Miller's 1m 31.449s morning best commanded the combined ti🔴mesheets until team-mate Brad Binder clipped 0.1s off the Australi♉an's time with ten minutes to go. 

The KTM one-two held until former title leader Marco Bezzecchi popped🎀 his VR46 Ducati machine to the front by 0.162s before Espargaro pounced with two minutes to go. 

But Miller responded on his penultimate lap to complete a Fr🦋iday double with the first 1m 30s lap of the weekend. 

Reps﷽ol Honda team-mates Marquez and Joan Mir continued tests of the new Kalex chassis alongside the earlier 'Marquez' frame.

Outside the⛦ top ten as the final stages began, Marquez tried to hook a tow from Francesco Bagnaia, who thwarted the Spaniard's plan by pitting. Left to ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚride alone, the #93 then outbraked himself, slapping his leg with frustration.

That meant Marquez was only 13th as the final run began when he joined a train of riders again following Bagnaia (only ꦓt꧑welfth and also needing to push) as Ducati's reigning champion left the pits.

When the Bagnaia-Martin-Marquez caravan crossed the line it was Marquez who benefitted most with&🍸nbsp;fifth, just before the fast accident (the second fall of his comeback day) - but Martin's next lap was stronger for third, while 𓂃Bagnaia also narrowly clung to a top ten place.

Maverick Vinales briefly tried the Aprilia rear wing on his way to seven�ꦿ�th.

Marc Marquez has finally been cleared to make a MotoGP return this weekend after being ruled out of Argentina, COTA and Jerez due to a delicate thumb fracture when he lost control under braking and collided with Miguel Oliveira in the Portimao season-opener.

Earlier this week, the MotoGP Court of Appeal also confirmed that Marquez will not need to serve the double Long lap penalty he received for causing that incident, having overturned the FIM Stewards attempt to shift the penalty from ‘Argentina’ to Marquez’s next race back.

The eight-time world champion is 80 points behind reigning champion and 2023 title leader Francesco Bagnaia, but with 592 points still available (92 more than the entire 2022 season) under the new Sprint (12 points) + GP (25) race weekend format.

Danilo Petrucci is returning to MotoGP action in place of the injured Enea Bastianini, riding for the same factory Ducati team with which he won in the wet at Le Mans in 2020.

After leaving MotoGP as a full-time rider following a tough year at Tech3 KTM in 2021, Petrucci competed in the Dakar and MotoAmerica before a one-off MotoGP ride for Suzuki at Buriram last season.

The Italian, 32, is currently eleventh in the World Superbike standings with a best finish of fifth place for Barni Ducati.

Bastianini, who broke his shoulder when he was taken down by Luca Marini in the Portimao sprint race, attempted to return at Jerez but withdrew due to the pain.

Miguel Oliveira is missing after suffering a left shoulder dislocation and fracture when he was caught up in Fabio Quartararo’s opening lap accident in Jerez.

Oliveira, who previously missed Argentina due to hip 🦩injuries from the impact by Marc Marquez’s Honda at Portimao, is being replaced at RNF by Aprilia test rider Lorenzo Savadori.

Team-mate Raul Fernandez, who underwent arm pump surgery following Jerez, tried to ride in Practice 1 but withdrew from the remainder of the weekend after just three laps. 

GASGAS Tech3’s Pol Espargaro remains absent due to his multiple injuries in Portimao and is again repla⛎ced by KTM test riꦗder Jonas Folger.

Jack Miller leads a KTM one-three in a dry opening practice for the 2023 French MotoGP at 💙Le Mans.

VR46 Ducati's Luca Marini split♍ the orange machines, ahead of Jerez Sprint winner Brad Binder. Both Miller an🐻d Binder were running the new square rear wing used by Dani Pedrosa at Jerez.

With wet weather a risk throughout the weekend, th💃e closing stages of the 45mins saw time attacks for a top ten place.

When the chequered flag waved, the likes of home star Fabio Quartararo and the rꦅeturning Marc Marquez were outside the top ten and will need to hope for dry conditions this afternoon to aꦫvoid a visit to Qualifying 1.

Marquez, competing in his first MotoGP session since brea🌺king his thumb in a collision with Miguel Oliveira at the Portimao season-opener, fell in the opening 15 minutes of his return to Repsol Honda, losing the front at Turn 11.

Twelftꦆh fastest at the time🍌 of the fall, Marquez immediately checked the thumb as he walked away before getting a scooter ride back to the pits.

That accident forced Marquez to switch to his second bike, fitted꧋ witﷺh the Kalex chassis, with which he went on to set his best lap of the session, albeit still in twelfth place.

Team-mate Joan Mir also tried th🍸e Kalex frame from the middle stages onwards and claimed a꧙ competitive sixth.

LCR's Alex Rins has one of Mir's former frames to try this weekend, while team-mate Takaaki Nakagami pulled off track wi🍌th smoke billowing from the rear of his bike before returning for a time attack.

World championship leader Francesco Bagnaia took the final top t🍷en place.

Quartararo had a Jerez test frame available on one of his factory Yamahas and featured at the front, but was pushed out of the top ten by t⛎he spate of late improvements.

2020 Le Mans winner Danilo Petrucci, hired to ride in place of the injured Enea Bastianini at the factory Ducati team this weไekend, wཧas 19th quickest, ahead of fellow replacements Lorenzo Savadori and Jonas Folger.

Raul Fernandez, who recently underwent arm pump surgery, only completed three laps and ๊has withdrawn from the remainder of the weekend.
