With rain never far from the Sepang circuit which was again proved right shortly before FP2 as extreme rain led to a lengthy delay to both the end of Moto2 FP2 and the second MotoGP session getting started, Bagnaia now faces the possibility of needin𝔉g to go through Q1 which is not something he’s done much of this season.

Conditions for Saturday again appear to be unpredictable, and with Ba🐷gnaia 11th on combined times, the choice not to use a set of soft tyres this morning could turn out to be the wrong one.

Title rival 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fabio Quartararo did sneak into the top ten, however, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Aleix Espargaro did not, meaning he is also under threat. 

Speaking after FP2, Bagnaia said the decision was his as he didn’t expect ra💖in to fal༒l for FP2.

"Was my decision because I wasn’t expecting the rain. This is the main thing," added Bagnaia. "Also, it was very important to do laps wit🐽h the medium tyre and I wasn’t expecting this rain. 

"But in any case it was very important to understand whether the medium tyre can be a good tyre [for the r𒊎ace] and sincerely, I’m quite happy with what we did with the medium because in the last la🌜p I was the only one who improved the lap time on the last exit with the used medium. 

"But considering how fast th🎉e riders with the soft have gone, I think the soft tyre is quite bad for the race."

While the medium looks set to be a race tyre for some riders, the h꧙ard tyre is expected to be a competitive tyre especially if conditions are hot. 

And although 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jorge Martin’s fast💫est lap in FP1 involved him using a hard tyre on low 𝔍fuel, Bagnaia was not convinced by the potential of it.  

"Yeah 💝he did [make a good lap]. He did a 59.9 but I think this was really a ‘push’ lap on this hard ⛦[tyre]," added the Ducati rider. 

"I’ve already seen that on the data that in the second lap time, but [maꦍinly] the third lap that the spin♍ was quite high. 

"It’s difficult now because the grip level this morning was very low. Tomorrow will be better🧸 for sure. 

"The rain has als💙o cleaned the track a lot and also then, when I did two laps on the slick tyre this afternoon the grip was quite good. But it was difficult to improve the position."
