World championship leader 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jorge Martin surprised himself with a new COTA lap record on day one of the 2024 Americas MotoGP.

The Pramac Du🌃cati rider was saving energy for a long weekend at one of the most physical tracks on the calendar, but blasted 0.6s clear of the field after fitting new tyres in the closing stages of the afternoon hour.

Aprilia’s morning leader Maverick Vinales later cu🌼ꦰt Martin’s advantage to just 0.076s but third place Marc Marquez was 0.409s adrift of the Pramac Ducati.

“I’m feelꦍing good,” Martin said. “For sure I didn’t expect to be this fast today because normal🤡ly it’s a track that I struggle at.

“I was really smooth, trying to control my ไphysical condition, because I want to keep some energy for Sunday. So I wasn’t pushing at 100%, but then when I did, I did some amazing laps.

“So I’m really happy. Tomorrow will be a challenging day, people are super fast💖 and will improve. So let’s ಌtry to improve also… I feel ready.”

Martin’s closest title rival Brad Binder failed to mak🍎e the top ten and will ne🌳ed to take part in Qualifying 1.

Fran🧸co Morbidelli completed a strong day for Pramac with seventh place as he continues to make up for lost testing time.
