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 Ducati rider was saving energy for a long weekend at one of the most physical tracks on the calendar, but bl𒁏asted 0.6s clear of the field after fitting new tyres in the closing stages of th🌜e afternoon hour.

Aprဣilia’s morning🍸 leader Maverick Vinales later cut Martin’s advantage to just 0.076s but third place Marc Marquez was 0.409s adrift of the Pramac Ducati.

“I’m feeling good,” Martin said. “For sure I didn’t expect to be this fast to𒆙day because normally it’s a track tha✱t I struggle at.

“I was really smooth, trying to control my physical 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 challengin♔g day, people are super fast and will improve. So let’s try to improve also… I fe𒈔el ready.”

Martin’s closest title rival Brad Binder failed to make the top ten and will need to take ꦿpart in Q💝ualifying 1.

F▨ranco Morbidelli completed a strong day for Pramac with seventh place as he continues to make up for lost testing time.
