After injury scuppered his Sepang MotoGP test, 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Raul Fernandez was on top form in Q🔯atar as he finished fifth fastest.

Less than a tenth🧜 down on Aleix Espargaro and half a tenth faster than Maverick Vinales, Fernandez showed his potential aboard the RS-GP23 machine, which he will swap for a 2024-spec bike midway through the year.

But Fernandez was quick to point out that trying for a fa🔥st lap was not the main aim at Lusail.

“We didn’t really focus on a fast lap, we just tried the soft tyre,” said Fernandez. “The key for this test was not to create any dangerous situations, so when I used the soft tyr𝐆e, it was not in order to try to push, bꦫut to understand it because I never used this kind of compound before on this bike.

“So, this waಌs important for us. Anyway, I still didn’t want to focus on a single fast lap. I’m just happy about the work we did.

“The pace was very good, especially when working with the used 💎tire. For us it was great, also seeing that I don’t feel 100% fit yet, which hopefully is going to improve for the GP.”

While Fernandez spent much of day-two at the front of the field, team-mate Miguel Oliveira was unable to demonstrate the same s🅷peed.

Oliveira was the only Aprilia rider not inside the top 10, and although it was a be🐽tter test for the Portuguese🐽 rider than Sepang, he was still ‘not fully satisfied’.

Oliveira said: “It was a bett👍er day. I’m not fully satisfied, but at least we took a good step forward. It’s just a shame that we got to a good feelin🌃g too late.

“Finally, it was four days with the same bad feeling and today 🦩with a slightly different bike, I could finally start to make some steps and be competitive.

“I co🍌uldn’t make the best of the whole bike because yo⛄ur braking points, the way you ride, if you get a good bike day by day, you can fine-tune those points.

“Also, during today, we were building up a good speed, then l🦋ost some time with one bike, but then with the time-attacks everything work🧸ed, more or less, ok.”
