168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fabio Quartararo came close to following up a first MotoGP front-row qualifying since 2022 with a Sprint podium on Saturda༺y in Qatar.

Quartararo’ꦰs scorching qualifying lap briefly put the Monster Yamaha rider on pole position, until Marc and Al🉐ex Marquez responded.

None𝔍theless, he w𒅌as the only non-Ducati in the top five and slashed 1.2s from his 16th place qualifying lap at last year’s event.

"It was really nice!” Quartararo said.

“I knew in q꧃ualifying that I was going to set a good lap time, but I didn't know it was going to be that good. I made zero mistakes on the fast lap, and I felt fast.

“Our bike suits this track quite well, and we need to take the benefit fr🐭om this. I have to throw everything at it.”

The 2021 world championꦫ continued that approach in the Sprint, going toe-to-🐎toe with former team-mate Franco Morbidelli for third place.

“During the Sprint, I tried my best,” Quartararo said. “It’s super complicated 🅺ꦬto prepare and overtake when already in the drive area they pull away.

“I'm braking super late but the problem is I cannot keep the acceleration with [Morbidell🐟i] to prepare and overtake.”

Another Ducati theဣn joined the fight in the form of rookie Fermin Aldeguer, who snatched fourth from Quartararo when the Frenchman saved a fron🧸t-end slide at the very last corner.

“Unfortunately, on the last lap I lost the front three times because I really wanted to fight for the podium. In the last corner, I completely lost the front, and Fermin overtook me,” Quartꦑararo said.

“But I think we can be really happy about the day we had today. During this Sprint I learned a lot. There are some areas where I can p๊ush tomorrow, and in other areas I need to save the tyres to keep them in good shape.

“We did a good jo🐻b today, so let's analyse the data well, and, hopefully, tomorrow we can manage to have a great pace and a g𓄧reat start again."

Qꦓuartararo completed the Sprint 12-seconds faster than on his way 𝄹to a twelfth place finish a year ago.

Team-mate Alex Rins fought back from a bad start to finish in twelfth place afteꦚr being among those to gamble on the s🍬oft rear tyre.

"I lost a lot at the start. We have to check why,” he said. “Apart fro෴m that, today was a good day. We went🌃 directly from Q1 to Q2. In Q2, I was able to do a good lap whilst riding alone, so I was quite satisfied about this.

“But in the Sprint, I couldn't💞 do so much after the problem at the start. I got stuck behind Bezzecchi, Marꦆtin, and Binder.

“I was riding on the soft tyre, and this was the right choice for me, but it did mean I was riding a bit on the limit in the last few laps. It's clear that for tomorrow we will be choosing the medium."
