168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Francesco Bagnaia narrowly held on to a direct Qualifying 2 spot for the Argentine MotoGP, but not without a scare.

A late crash at Turn 2 with just m🍌inutes remaining in Friday practice left the 𝔉Ducati Lenovo rider watching from the sidelines as his rivals improved their times.

Bagnaia, who had been sixth before the🅠 fall, was eventually pushed down to tenth, clinching the final automatic Q2 spot by the narrowest of margins.

ꦬMuch to his relief, he escaped unscathed and remained optimistic despite finishing 16th and 10th in theಌ two track sessions.

“A lot!” Bagnaia told MotoGP.com, when asked if he felt r✅elieved after the dramatic conclusion to Friday practice.

“I was already seeing myself out of Q2. It could have been a shame🔜.

“Buไt I’m happy. Happy 𓆉because my feeling was much better this afternoon.

“We did a good step in terms of setup of the bike, and🌸 it helped me a lot.

“Happy because finally I feel much better on braking and entering [the corners]. And tomorrow we will🗹 🐓try to do another step.”

T♔hird in Thailand, Bagnaia is under pressure to respoꦿnd after new Ducati Lenovo team-mate Marc Marquez dominated the Buriram season opener with a perfect double of Sprint and Grand Prix wins.

Marquez then picked up where he left off by leading ꦆboth Friday sessions in Argentina.

But with grip levels rapidly improving at the dusty Termas de Rio Hondo circu🏅it, Bagnaia emphasised that rediscovering confidence on the brakes was essential for his chances.

“The grip changed alsoꦆ during the session becausไe in the last part it was much better,” he explained. “I think it will be like this all weekend.

“Tomorrow in the Sprint race we will do the best lap in the last laps and also in the [Sunday] race𝓰. So the important thing is that I have a good feeling back on braking. This was my main target.”

Asked if he feels ready to battle the Marquez brothers - first and second in Thail𒆙and and separated only by Fabio di Giannantonio on Friday - Bagnaia replied:

“I feel ready to fight. Who it will be, will be. B🔯ut I feel readyౠ to fight.”
