This weekend’s Indonesian MotoGP should show if 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fabio Quartararo’s season-best seventh place at Misano - fifth before fuel issue🦋s on the penultimate corner - was a flash in the pan🎃 or sign of real progress.

“I think it was 🦩a really great race, by far the best of the year,” Q♌uartararo reflected on Thursday in Indonesia. “We didn't expect to be that fast during all the race.

“But unfortunately at the second-to-l🧸ast corner we [had] no fuel, but I think we ca🍌n be happy. We saw the front guy quite close to us."

Dropping from fifthꩲ to seventh wasn’t the end of the world for a rider who has 🦩11 premier-class wins and 31 podiums.

“One corner earli꧃er and we'𝓰d have pitted into the box,” Quartararo pointed out. “It’s not about the position, but the race that we made. Because finishing P5 or P7 is not something that really matters. What really matters is that we have made some steps. And for the future, I think it’s quite interesting.”

“The mentality has changed quite a lot,” he added. “We have ไbeen working since February in thi💦s way, but we never really found the direction. [Then] since the test before Misano 1 we have found something that can be great and the direction is quite ‘straight’ [clear] let's say. 

"We know what we have to improve... Now [we have to do it]. And of course, for us power is something that we really miss. For one lap it’s important, b🐈ut especially in the race, I think that [more power] is even more important to fight.꧂”

Quartararo is the only rider to have finished on the podium in both previous Mand𝓀alika races. His chances of three in a row could depend on how quickly grip rises on the dirty track surface.

“We really need a lot of grip, especially on the edge [of the tyre] because on the drive area, we are OK,” he sa༺id.

“I think the first step is to s🍌ee how our bike is here because we were in Misano for nearly one month. 

"The potential [at Misano] was great but it’s quite important for us to see our potential at this track.꧃ Especially in FP1 when the track will be qu🍬ite dirty.

“I think if we 🐟can qua🎶lify in the top ten in [Friday] practice, we will have a great potential for the race on Sunday."

Alex Rins: “I was eating, biting my hands!"

Team-mate Alex Rins will re-join Quartararo𝄹 at Monster Ya🔴maha this weekend, after missing Misano 2 due to sickness.

Rins admitted it had been hard to watch from the sidelines after making big steps with the latest engine during the Misano tꦉest♉.

“I was eating, biting my hands! Because compared to Misano 1 we received the ‘proper’ engine in the test, where the number of engines do🎀esn’t count. They brought it back and I was a bit faster," said Rins, who previously spoke of improving his pace by 0.5-0.7s.

“I ওwould have liked to see my level compared to Fabio because he was in really good shape in Misano. Let’s see how it goes here, as I’m missing some laps on the bike.”
