Following a difficult MotoGP season-opener in Portimao, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Franco Morbidelli looked very comfortable on what w🔥as a very ‘green’ track.

The Yamaha rider was over six tenths clear of 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Aleix Espargaro aft🤪er the o🐻pening flurry of laps, before Jorge Martin close to within a tenth. 

After seeing the factory Aprilia duo ofꦬ Espargaro and Maverick Vinales move to the top of the leaderboard, Morbidelli lo✅oked set to regain top spot before a mistake in the final sector. 

Another rider t𝐆hat struggled throughout the opening round was Takaaki Nakagami who followed in Morbidelli’s footsteps by showing early potential aboard his LCR Honda.

The Japanese rider 🧔jumped to the top of the timingsheets, with Vinales and Espargaro remaining inside the top three. 

Martin and Nakagami then exchanged top spot as high 1m 40s lap times were being set during th⭕e opening 15 minutes. 

Showing impressive pace in what is just his second official weekend of MotoGP action, Augusto Fernandez went up to ninth place before having his lap time deleted due to exceeding track limits ꩲat the final corner.

One rider who had no such issue with track limits w🐼as Marco Bezzecchi, as the podium finisher in Portimao went up to third, splitting Martin and world champion Francesco Bagnaia. 

After seeing his teammate narrowly miss out on top spot, Vinales was next to try his luck as he set ﷽a time 🐷of 1:40.559s.

Vinales then impr♐oved again, however, so did Mo⛎rbidelli and Espargaro as both riders went quicker than the ex-Yamaha rider. 

Matching his previous bes💦t lap, Morbidelli then had a lap deleted as Vinales found time in sector four to go fastest once again. 

Vinales then put the hammer down as he found nearly two tenths, while Alex Rins became the first faller ♔of the day after losing the front-𝔍end of his RC213V at turn one. 

With his teammate sitting in second, 🅺although Morbidelli was the first rider to put new tyres on, F𓆉abio Quartararo was struggling as he remained a second down on Vinales with ten minutes remaining. 

With unpredictable weather in the air and a risk to affect Practice 2, riders began a mini🃏 time attack during the final few minutes.

Out on-track al🐈one to kick things off, Bezzecchi set the first sub 1m 40s lap afteඣr fitting a new medium rear.

A stunning pair of laps from Vinales then saw him separate himself from the pack, so much so that no rider got within two tenths of his effort come the checkered f🐷lag.

One of those🍨 who was a long way behind was Quartararo, as the Yamaha rider missed out ཧon the top ten.

Espargaro made it a Aprilia 1-2 with his f𒉰inal effort, while Bagnaia managed to remain in the top ten by the smallest of margins.
