168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Aleix Espargaro was one of the standout riders in the Qatar test as he backed up his potential by finishing just behind last season’s MotoGP runner-up.

Espargaro was ou🅘tside the top ten for parts of FP1, but when lap times began to heat up so d🌄id the Spaniard.

Espargaro moved just ⛦ahead of Pedro Acosta, whom he had a close call with ꦆon the run to turn one.

In a repeat of Fabio Di Giannantonio and Francesco Bagnaia’s moment 🥀during the grand prix last season, Espargaro got sucked in by the slipstream and nearly ran into Acosta.

Discussing the moment afterwards, Espargaro said: “I was surprised. He almost removed🌜 all the stickers off my fairing on the 🉐straight.

“Then I didn’t have clean air and I couldn’t stop the bike. We know which area we 👍have to work.”

Regarding his performance, Espargaro was very hap🍷py with his dry running effort before r𝄹ain surprisingly fell in the evening.

“In the first practice it was quite good and the la♛p times were quite decent and we did a good job,” added Espargaro.

“In the afternoon we were just cleaning the track. The rain and under the lights; the🍎re was ꦿnothing really important to understand.

“It was very strange. Hopefully it will not raꦯin for the qualifying or the race.”

With ꦛdry track time limited, and a very busy schedule to follow on Saturday as the final 🐟practice will now count towards Q2 places, Espargaro said having a good feeling was key.

Espargaro said: “[It was] Very important. In the first session in the dry it was very hot and I felt better than in the test duri🧔ng daylight.

“Hopefully tomorrow we can do a good job because practice three will be 🍬very important to go through to the Q2.”
