The Ducati rider positioned himself behind th𒅌e championship leader, who slowed on the exit of turn four after running wide, before gesturing and attempting to wave the Italian rid▨er through. 

But M🦩arini remained unner෴ved as he slotted in behind Quartararo once again. 

After topping FP1, 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Marc Marquez was again showing impressive pace as he led the early stages from 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Marco Bezzecchi and 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Brad Binder

Like Quartararo, Bagnaia and Binder also had moments at turn four💧 as they ran wide.
