LIVE UPDATES: Aleix Espargaro wins Aprilia's first-ever MotoGP race

Aleix Espargaro secured Aprilia’s first-ever MotoGP pole after a brilliant battle with Jorge Martiও♌n in Argentina.

Espargaro, who dominated Argentina MotoGP practꦬice, had all eyes on him heading into a session that promised so much. 

Looking for Aprilia’s first-ever MotoGP pole, Espargaro we🐷nt top by over three tenths following the initial flurry of laps.

There were immediate problems for Suzuki as Joan Mir’s #1 bike needeꦡd to have its tyres removed and transferred over to his s♚econd GSX-RR machine. 

The issu💝e involved the bike cutting out which💟 was soon taken care of.

On-track, Vinales momentarജily went top before Martin set a new benchmark of 1:34.425s. However, Espargaro soon bettered the Pramac Ducati rider’s effort with a stunning time of 1:38.125s. 

While Espargaro set a time that looked unbeatable, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jack Miller became the latest cras෴her at turn oꦕne following a front-end washout.

As the final flying laps began, more handbags started between Quartararo 🐎and Miller after the Ducati rider was seen touring on the racing line.

After c🐼lashing during the Indonesian Grand Prix, tension will certainly be high between the pair heading into tomorrow’s race.&ꦕnbsp;

Miller is likely to be given a penalty due to it costing Quartararo dearly on his lap, while it n🅠early resulted in contact🌼 too. 

At the front, Martin, who had three personal best sectors, took over 🌺at the front following a brilliant sector fou📖r. 

The Spaniard gained over three tenths to go fastest by -0.256s, but as was the case throughout the daꦺy, Espargaro fought back 𒁏immediately.

While grip looke🐼d high around Termas de Rio Hondo Circuit, both practice sessions saw riders struggling with bike shaking on the exit of turn 11, something that was again on show d🌸uring qualifying.
