After injury scuppered his Sepang MotoGP test, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Raul Fernandez wꦏas on top form in Qatar as he finished fifth fastest.

Less than a tenth down on Aleix Espargaro and half a tenth faster than Maverick Vinales, Fernandez showed his potential aboard the RS-GP23 machine, which he will swap for a 2024-spec bike midway🐈 through the year.

But Fernandez was quick to point out that tryingꦉ for a fast lap was not the ma꧃in aim at Lusail.

“We didn’t really focus on a fast lap, we just tried the soft tyre,” said Fernandez. “The key for this test was n🌞✱ot to create any dangerous situations, so when I used the soft tyre, it was not in order to try to push, but to understand it because I never used this kind of compound before on this bike.

“So, this was important for us. Anyway, I still didn’t want to focus on a single fast lap. 🍌I’m just happy about the ꦛwork we did.

“The pace was very good, especially when workꦗing with the used tire. For us it was great, also seeing that I don’t feel 100% fit yet, which hopefully is going to improve for the GP.”

While Fernandez s🌳pent much of day-two at the front of the field, team-mate Miguel Oliveira was unable to demonstrate the same 𝕴speed.

Oliveira was the only Aprilia rider not inside the top 10, and although it was a better test fo🌳r the Portuguese rider than Sepang, he was still ‘not fully satisfie🌠d’.

Oliveira said: “It was a better day. I’m not fully ꩲsatisfied, but at least we t🐽ook a good step forward. It’s just a shame that we got to a good feeling too late.

“Finally, it was four days with the same bad feeling and today w♋ith a slightly different bike, I could finally start to mak🔜e some steps and be competitive.

“I couldn’t make the best of the whole bike because your braking points,🍌 the way🐷 you ride, if you get a good bike day by day, you can fine-tune those points.

“Also, during today, wꦕe were building up a good speedღ, then lost some time with one bike, but then with the time-attacks everything worked, more or less, ok.”
