168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Marc Marquez overcame some ea🦂rly Honda instincts to make an immediate impact on his first race weekend as a Gresini Ducati MotoGP rider.

The Spaniard set the fourth fastest lap time (+0.177s) in openiꦰng Friday practice at Lusail, then made the best of a shock evening shower to set the pace o❀n his wet Desmosedici debut in the second session. 

That would also normally have secured the eight-time world champion direct🎀 access to Saturday’s Qualifying 2. 

But the wet track under floodlights scenario had never been 🅘attempted in a MotoGP session before. 

When consulted by Race Direction, most riders are understood to have voted in favour of conv🦋erting the wet session into a free practice, for safety reasons, although the likes of Marquez and Ja༒ck Miller are rumoured to have voted against the move.

The change meant Q2 access was moved to an ext꧑ended Saturday pract🤡ice, immediately followed by qualifying itself. 

“I was looking for a solid๊ day,” Marquez told MotoGP.com. “The main target was trying to be in Qualifying 2 straight away,🎀 but they changed the schedule and we moved the practice to Saturday.

“[Anyway] ꦓI tried for the first time the Ducati bike in wet, in Qatar which was super strange, but the feeling was good and I’m happy.”

The 🍸revised 🍸Saturday schedule means some riders will have to do time attacks for three consecutive sessions (P3, Q1, Q2) in less than an hour.

“It will be a very stressful day,” Marquez said.

Marquez warned on Thursday th🅘at, under such pressure, he is still battling to bury his꧋ old Honda instincts, which again emerged on day one.

“I went out in FP1 and my instinct when I was with other riders was riding like a Honda,” he explained. “Tꦗhen I slowed down a bit and I said ‘OK, calm down’. And then in the seco🥃nd run, I start to ride like Ducati.

“And then it was better, but tomorrow also I need to control and it will be not easy. The first target is to try to be in Qualifying 2 but the times are super tight and everything can happen, but the feelings in both dry and wet conditions w𝄹ere good.

“On the dry there are 3 to 4 riders who are quicker than u👍s, but we need to keep working and keep discovering the bike little by little.”

Among those ahead of Marquez in the dry was a certain Pedro Acosta, t💛he star rookie that Marquez has tipped for race wins and perhaps even a championship challenge his season.

“I said yesterday, Pedro Acosta is a super talented rider. The [KTM] bike, as Binder showed last year, is workꦚing in a good way. And he will fight for the victories, with podiums and we will seeꦉ for the championship.

“But he's a super ta♔lented rider and he will have a lot♐ of years of MotoGP success.”

That talent 🐠was on display as Acosta produced a Marquez-style save through Turn 1 in the dry opening session.

“That was a good one! Believe me,” said Marquez.
