168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Francesco Bagnaia keeps the pressure on title leader 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Jorge Martin by leading Friday practice for the 2024 Solidarity Barcelona MotoGP season finale.

Bagnaia shrugged off a shock fall after the chequered flag this morning to jump 𒁃to the toꩲp ahead of Marco Bezzecchi and Aleix Espargaro late in the afternoon.

Meanwhile, the KTMs of Brad Binder and Jack Miller were among those to miss out on the top ten and must take ♉part in Saturday’s Qualifying 1.

Aft👍er most riders stuck with the same set of soft front and mediu🌼m rear tyres for FP1, warmer temperatures saw medium and hard fronts combined with soft or medium rears this afternoon.

Before the soft-rear time attacks, VR46’s Bezzecchi was leading t🦹he timesheets on used rubber ahead of Vinales, Alex Marquez, Acosta, Martin, Bagnaia, Zarco, Binder, Morbidelli and Aleix Espargaro.

Martin - who appeared to try the biggest range of tyre options this afterno♔on - then went straight to the top on new soft rubber, front and rear.

Despit♌e his speed, Martin looked agitated in the pits, frantically waving over crew chief Daniele Romagnoli to discuss some form of issue.

Meanwhile, LCR H🦩onda’s Johann Zarco pulled out a scorching lap behind Mar🐟c Marquez to go fastest.

The final run began with Zarco, Martin, Maverick Vinales, Bagnaia, Alex Marquez, Pedro Acosta, Enea Bastianini, Marc Marque♊z, Aleix Espargaro and Jack Miller occupying the top ten places.

Marquez, ﷽Zarco and Fabio Quartararo were queued up behind Bagnaia for their last laps before VR46 Academy colleague Bezzecchi blasted to the top on🤡 his own.

But not for long.

Bagnaia dipped 0.080s under the GP23 rider, with Martin stuck in fifth after losing a lap to a big front-end save. May’s pole qual𝔉ifier and Sprint winner Espargaro claimed a late third, but seemed to 🅘feel more was possible.

Yellow flags for a late Joan Mir💮 accident and run-off by Acosta🤪 were swiftly cleared.

Bagnaia down - after the chequered flag

World championship leader 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Jorge Martin got the early edge over title rival 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Francesco Bagnaia with fi✱fth place, but Bagnaia then crashed into Turn 1 after the session had ended!

Bagnaia was cruising with his elbow on the ta꧒nk after a botched practice start when he seemed to be surprised by an outside pass from Maverick Vinales in the braking zone and lost the front.

V🍒inales later shrugged a 'what did I do?' gesture when watching a replay in the pits.

Bagnaia ha🥃d spun up, yet again, during his practice start, perhaps while trying a low front-holeshot setting.🦩 

The good news for Bagnaia was that he tr♉udged away un🦂harmed.

Riding in cool but dry 14-degree air temperatures, Nakagami - after an earlier fall - f๊itted new soft front and medium rear tyres to shoot 0.4s ahead of Pedro Acosta in the final minutes.

Acosta, like most riders, stuck with the same set of soft and medium tyres but began t🧜he weekend on the ground.

Tech3 team-mates tangle

Red flags wer✱e waved after just six minutes when Acos༺ta and Tech3 team-mate Augusto Fernandez suffered a strange collision on the exit of Turn 5.

Fernandez attempted to go around the outside of Acosta, who was caught u෴p ℱbehind Brad Binder.

But Acosta, leaning to the inside, was unaware of Fernandez’s move and the pair cla🉐shed on the e♔xit, sending both riders down, damaging an air fence and forcing red flags.

Fortunately, both riders walked away, with Acosta still shocke🌟d as he spoke to his team in the pits.

Before the red flag, VR46 stand-in Michele Pirro had been caught out in the opening ꧃minutes, also at Turn 5.

How Martin can become MotoGP champion in Saturday’s Barcelona Sprint:

• Martin wins the Sprint.
• Martin finishes 2nd and Bagnaia doesn’t win.
• Martin finishes 3rd and Bagnaia doesn’t finish better than 5th.
• Martin finishes 4th and Bagnaia doesn’t finish better than 6th.
• Martin finishes 5th and Bagnaia doesn’t finish better than 7th.
• Martin finishes 6th and Bagnaia doesn’t finish better than 8th.
• Martin finishes 7th and Bagnaia doesn’t finish better than 9th.
• Martin finishes 8th and Bagnaia is 10th or lower.

Martin holds a 24-point lead🦩 over Bagnaia heading into t🅺his weekend’s title showdown.

That means Martin can be crowned premier-class champion for the first time and make history as the first satellite rider to win the title in the ‘MotoGP’ era, if he wins the Saturday Sprint or 💫scores at least two points more than Bagnaia.

While th꧙e odds are stacked in Martin’s favour, cool temperatures and the threat of rain mean there might yet be one more twist in what defending double champion Bagnaia has called a “championsh༒ip of mistakes”.

Barcelona is a last-minut🍬e replacement for the traditional Valencia finale, cancelled following devastating flooding.

MotoGP’s visit to the track in May saw home star Aleix Espargaro announce his retirement plans on the Thursday then lead Friday practice, qualify on 🌞pole and win the Sprint - after a last lap mistake by B⛎agnaia.

Bagnaia retaliated with victory in the grand prix, where Martin finished runner-up from seventh on ♔the grid after a crash in qualifying. Marc Marquez didn’t even reach Qualifying 2 but rode from 14th to the podium in both races.

Gresini’s Marquez holds a 1-point lead over𒁏 Enea Bastianini, the rider hꦺe replaces at the factory Ducati team next year, in the battle for third in the world championship.

Fifth overall and top non-Ducati rider will also be settled this weekend, with rookie Pedro Acosta c♔arrying a 3-point lead over future factory KTM team-mate Brad Binder.

Miguel Oliveira returns to action for his final Trackhouse appearance after missing five rounds due to left wrist fractures🐓 in Mandalika.

Ducati test rider Michele Pirro has been called up to ride in 🧔place of VR46’s Fabio di Giannantonio, who recently underwent shoulder surgery.
