168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Johann Zarco produced a thrilling latꦏe lap under the Friday floodlights in Qatar to snatc🍨h Honda's only guaranteed spot in Saturday's Qualifying 2 pole position shootout.

The Frenchman looked set to join HRC riders Luca Marini and Joan Mir in the uncertainty of Q1 until he edged out Yamaha's Alex Rins by just 0.030s in a dramatic last-minute charg🐼e.

"I'm really happy. That last laꦺp was amazing and thrilling," Zarco said.

After an earlier technical issue limited his FP1 running, Zarco bounced back impressively in the cooler evening conditions at Lusail, maximising grip from the 💯softer tyre.

“I could feel that the soft rear tyre had somethi🦹ng extra to give over one lap," he explained. "I made a mistake on my first attempt but nailed i🉐t on the second."

"We'v🅠e improved the bike's control, and this track gives us a lot of grip," he added.&n🉐bsp;

"It feels like we h🅷ave more potential tܫhan we did last year. We've made a big step forward today."

Meanwhile, fellow Honda riders Marini (12th) and Mir (13th) now face the challenge of fighting for the final pair 💖of Q2 places in Qualifying 1.

Zarco's late burst also left Aprilia as the only manufacturer without at least one rider in the top ten, with Trackhouse rookie Ai Ogura the leading RS-GP in 15th.
