After all MotoGP riders opted for the soft rear tyre in Saturday’s Argentine Sprint, 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Johann Zarco be🎀lieves switching to the medium compound for this aft🅷ernoon’s Grand Prix could give him a crucial advantage.

Zar🅷co secured Honda’s best qualifying position of the post-Marc Márquez era with third on the grid, before finishing just outs🍸ide the podium in fourth place during the Sprint.

“For sure [the podium] is possible tomorrow,” Zarco said. “And maybe even more chance. Let’s see 🔯if we have a bit more temperature, because for me using the medium rear can be an advantage. I hope we will have this advanta✤ge tomorrow.”

Michelin expects all riders to stick with the meꦦdium front tyre, but the🌼 rear choice remains open, depending on track temperatures.

For Sunday morning’s warm-up session, almost all riders tested the medium rear, wit𝄹h Marc and Alex Marquez again leading the timesheets, while Zarco placed 13th fastest (+0.730s).

However, the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:LCR Honda rider began on medium rubber with 12 laps of prior use, while most others used fresher tyres with only 6-8 la🐟ps.

In terms of average pace, Alex Marquez held the edge over Sprint winner Marc, with Aprilia’s Marco Bezzecchi emergꦚi𝄹ng as their closest challenger.

A crucial factor for Zarco will be the start, after losing several positions in the Satur🌳day Sprint, allowing the podium contenders to෴ break away early.

“Maybe to stay with Marc and Ale�ꦿ�x would be nice,” Zarco said. “I think Pecco will be there also.

“Clearly Marc and Alex have been the two guys that were always in front dur෴ingꦿ the practices. If I can stay with them, maybe I can have an advantage [with that also]…”

Honda's last M🧜otoGP podium was by Marquez at Motegi in 2023.

The 25-lap grand ♊prix begins at 15:00 local time.
