168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Maverick Vinales has thrown down the gauntlet to the Ducatis ahead of the sprint race at the Americas MotoGP.

Pramac Ducati’s Jorge Martin smashed the lap record at the Circuit of the Americas on Friday in practice to top the 💜timesheets.

But Aprilia’s in-form Vinales was notably in second-p🐓lac♉e.

Vinales had gone fastest in the first F🐈riday ꦰsession with a time of 2m 3.294s.

And, last time out in Portimao, Vinales won the spꦚrint race. His form and hꦡis confidence in Texas now feel ominous.

“We left Portimao fighting for the top and ꦉwe started in Austin at the same level, or eve🐻n better,” Vinales reacted to practice.

“That’s huge, a fantastic feeling. I’m𒊎 really happy with the feeling that I have on the track.

“Honestly, to have this𝄹 flow on the track is amazing. You enjoy it a lot.

“It’s a track wh𒆙ere you expect a good performance.

“There are things to improve, as always.

“But, honestly, I feel on point💛. I just wanted ♔to go out and do more time attacks!”

Vinales detailed the areas where he can improve w💙ith his Aprilia for Saturday.

“Brakes, especially with the soft tyre,” he said.

“With the medium t𒀰yre, I am well set. For the race, I am okay.

“With the soft tyre, there🎃 a💟re a few things to keep working.

“I feel confident☂. I feel ready to go. That is important.

“Of course, Ducati will be there. That is clear.

But we can be the guys to fight against them.”

Vinales’ teammate Aleix Espargaro was sixth in practice, undꦇerlining Aprilia’s steadily improving fortunes this season.

But the form of Vina🍃les is particu♑larly significant.

“No matter the track, no matter the section, when I have the balance on the bike that ꦓI like, I am able to be fast,” he warned.

“Another thing that’s important is that I have recovered my speed over oওne lap.

“Now, I feel very strong over one l♛ap. I just feel in my best mo⛄ment.

🃏“I will keep working with this momentum because it’s very important.”
