168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Jack Miller believes “the pace is there” despite a late Friday practice crash sending him into Q1 at the Spanish MotoGP.

The 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Pramac Yamaha rider was on course to secure direcꦛt Q2 access when a Turn 7 tumble, during his final time attack, ended his hopes.

“It’s a shame, but the pace is there. The feeling on the bike was ꦓgood right from the morning," said Miller, who began the day promisingly with sixth in FP1.

"On my firs🎃t lap with the new tyre, I was behind Marc but we hit a yellow flag, s🥃o we had to abort. That still ended up being my best lap.”

On his second attempt, Miller pushed again, this time behind former Ducati team-mate Francesco Bagnaiaꦐ. 

The Australian saved a front-end tuck at Turn 1 but then overloaded the front again wh🥂ile cha♓sing the red machine.

“On the second tyre, I was following Pecco and tucked the front at Turn 1, but I managed to save it. Still, I lost some time and had to push hard through the nextꦺ two corners to close the gap,” he said.

“I was feeling strong. But I came into Turn 7 a bit hot, didn’t get much stopping from the rear, forced the front a little, and the bike just gave up - down I wenꦡt. 🎐;

"We just need a bit more support from the engine braking, and I’m confident we’ll get that sorted♋ for tomorrow.”

Miller’s best time was only 0.235s off the Q2 cut, whil🐼e Monster Yamaha’s Fabio Quartararo underlined the potential of t🐻he M1 at Jerez by leading the session on his way to fifth.

“This old-school circuit really 💃see▨ms to suit the Yamaha,” said Pramac team manager Gino Borsoi.

“We’re obviously disappointe🔯d by Jack’s 🀅crash, which cost him a Q2 spot that was well within reach.

“But his pace, both over one lap and 💛in race trim, is very encouraging. That gives me a lot of confidence heading int🌌o the Sprint and Sunday.”

On the othe🐈r side of the Pramac garage,ꦑ Augusto Fernandez ended the day in 20th.

“We had to make some setup changes, and that gave me a better feeling,” Fernandez said. “But we’re still not getting much support from the re൲ar,🐬 which is making things tricky. 

"The front end feels great - you can see that from Fabio’s pace - and we’re narrowing the gap.”
