A quietly confident 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Francesco Bagnaia finished Friday practice in Qatar predicting the Lusail lap record will fall in Saturday’s MotoGP qualifying.

Unlike at the three previous events, the Ducati𒉰 Lenovo rider was consistently quick, eventually finishing second behind surprise leader Franco Morbidelli and ahead of team-mate Marc Marquez.

“From FP1 I was feeling great, but I was still miss𝄹ing something, that we found this afternoon, so very happy about it,” Bagnaia told MotoGP.com, late🌺r revealing: “We did something on the bike that was helping me more to turn more.

“I’m 𒀰very haꦯppy about the pace and the feeling with both tyres.

“It's true that tomorrow the conditions will improve and it will not be easy to decide which rear tyre wil✃ꦺl be the correct one for the Sprint race.

“But righ꧟t now I'm just very happy with the feeling.

“I was always in the top three during the sess꧟ion and this is already a great step in front. We have just to continue like this.”

Despite the absence of pre-season tes🅰ting in Qatar, resulting in a visibly dusty surface, Morbidelli’s time attack was only a fraction from the official pole record.

“The tyres are working well and I think✤✱ the record lap time will drop,” Bagnaia said.

The double MotoGP champion c🃏ame close to setting a new record himself on Friday, narrowly missing out due to an error at turn 15 which lef🔯t him just 0.145s behind Morbidelli.

“Already today, I just missed a bit corner♔ 15, but I✅ was close to beating the record,” he reflected.

“It's incredible how fast we are right now considering that we didn't do any tests and the condition at the start 𒈔of the day wasn't the best.”

Michelin hℱas modified the soft rear tyre to try and creat🌼e an alternative to the medium compound used by almost all riders in last year’s Qatar Sprint and main races.
