The Frenchman, standing in for injured ✃Suzuki roo🦄kie Alex Rins for a third event, explained:
"It'sไ a pity that I wasn?t able to take part in the q♚ualifying, as we made solid improvements in the sessions and I felt positive of a good performance.
"I went for a painkiller treatment to my arm, right before the FP4, which is a procedure I have done times in the past🐬, but unfortunately something went wrong and ♊I had an unexpected reaction to the medication.
"This caused me to feel very dizzy and together with the team we decided not run in qualifying. I'm no♑w already recovering and I hope I will be ok for tomorrow."
Suzuki regular Andrea Iannone qualified twelfth.
KTM's Bradleyꦯ Smith is also hoping to be fit for the race after a hand injury i🌜n qualifying.
