168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Fabio Quartararo came close to following up a first MotoGP front-row qualifying since 2022 with a Sprint pod𝓀ium on 𝔍Saturday in Qatar.

Quartararo’s scorching qualifying lap🎃 briefly put the Monster Yamaha rider on pole position, until Marc and Alex Marquez responded.

Nonetheless, he was the only non-Ducati in the top five and slashed ✤1.2s from his 16th place qualifying lap at last year’s event.

"It was really nice!” Quartararo said.

“I knew in qualify🔴ing that I was going to set a good lap time, but I didn't know it was going to be that good. I made zero mistakes on the fast lap, and I felt fas♉t.

“Our bike suits this track quite well, and we need to take the benefit from thiꩵs. I have to throw everything at it.”

The 2021 world champion continueꦏd that approach in the Sprint, going toe-to-toe with fo🤡rmer team-mate Franco Morbidelli for third place.

“During the Sprint, I tried my best,” Quartararo said. “It’s super c꧙omplicated to prepare and overtake when already in the drive area they pull away.

“I'm📖 🐷braking super late but the problem is I cannot keep the acceleration with [Morbidelli] to prepare and overtake.”

Another Ducati then joined the fight in the form of rookie Fermin Aldeguer, who snatched fourth from Qu♒artararo when the Frenchman saved a front-end slide at the ve𝔍ry last corner.

“Unfortunately, on the last🧸 lap I lost the front three times be🍃cause I really wanted to fight for the podium. In the last corner, I completely lost the front, and Fermin overtook me,” Quartararo said.

“🧔But I think we can be really ꦐhappy about the day we had today. During this Sprint I learned a lot. There are some areas where I can push tomorrow, and in other areas I need to save the tyres to keep them in good shape.

“We did a good job today, so let's analyse the data well, and, hopefully, tomorrow we can manage to have a great pace and a grea꧂t start again."

Quartararo comꩲpleted the Sprint 12-seconds faster than on his way to a twelfth place finish a year ago.

Team-mate Alex Rins fought back from a bad start to finish in twelfth place after being ♌among th൲ose to gamble on the soft rear tyre.

"I lost a lot at the start. We have to check why,” he said. “Apart from that, today was a good day. We went directly from Q1 to Q2. In Q2, I was abl🌌e to do a good lap whilst ridin🥂g alone, so I was quite satisfied about this.

“But in the Sprint, I couldn't do so much after the problem at the start. I got stuck behind Bezzecchi, Marti෴n, and Binder.

“I was riding on the soft tyre, and this was the right choice for me, but it did mean I was riding a bit on the limit in the last few laps. It's clear that for tomorrow we will be choosing the medium."
