168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Aleix Espargaro was one of the standout riders in the Qatar test as he backed up his potential by finishing just behind last season’s MotoGP runner-up.

Espꦉargaro was outside the top ten for parts of FP1, but when lap times began to heat up so did the Spaniard.

Espargaro moved just ahead 🧔of Pedro Acosta, whom he had a close call with on the run to turn one.

In a repeat of Fabio Di Giannantonio and Francesco Bagnaia’s moment duri♓ng the grand prix last season, Espargaro got sucked in by the slipstream and nearly ran into Acosta🐽.

Discussing the moment afterwards, Espargaro said: “I was surprised. He almost removed all the stickers off my fairing on the straigh𒆙t.

“Th🎃en I didn’t have clean air and I couldn’t stop t🎀he bike. We know which area we have to work.”

Regarding his performance, Espargaro was very happy with his dry running effort befo🉐re rain surp🔥risingly fell in the evening.

“In the first practiceဣ it w🐷as quite good and the lap times were quite decent and we did a good job,” added Espargaro.

“I🧸n the afternoon we were just cleaning the track. The rain and under the lights; t𝓀here was nothing really important to understand.

“It was very str꧟ange. Hopefully it will not rain for the qualifying or the race.”

With dry track time limited, and a very busy schedule to follow on Saturday as the final practice will now count t🍰owards Q2 places, Espargaro said having a good feeling was key.

Espargaro said: “💃[It was] Very important. In the first session in the dry it was very hot and I felt better than in the test during daylight.

“Hopefully tomorrow we can do a good job bec🍰ause practice three will be very important to go through ⛦to the Q2.”
