With rain never far from the Sepang circuit which was again proved right shortly before FP2 as extreme rain led to a lengthy delay to both the end of Moto2 FP2 and the second MotoGP session getting started, Bagnaia now faces the p๊ossibility of needing to go through Q1 which is not something he’s done much of this season.

Conditions fo꧟r Saturday again a𝔉ppear to be unpredictable, and with Bagnaia 11th on combined times, the choice not to use a set of soft tyres this morning could turn out to be the wrong one.

Title rival 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fabio Quartararo did sneak into the top ten, however, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Aleix Espargaro did not, meaning he is also under threat. 

Speaking after FP2, Bagnaia said the decision was his as💫 he didn’t expect rain to fall for FP2.

"Was my decision because I wasn’t expecting the rain. This is the main thing," added Bagnaia. "Also, it was very im🍃portant to do laps with the medium tyre and ꦫI wasn’t expecting this rain. 

"But in any case it was very important to understand whether the medium tyre can be a good t🔯yre [for the race] and sincerely, I’m quite happy with what we did with the medium because in the last lap I was the only one who improved the lap time on the last exit with the used medium.&n𒀰bsp;

"But considering how fast the riders with the soft have gone, I think the soft tyre is quite bꦑad for the race."

While the medium looks set to be a race tyre for some riders, the hard tyre is expected to be a competitive tyre especially if conditio🐻ns are hot. 

And although 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jorge Martin’s fastest lap in FP1 involved him using a hard tyre on low fuel, Bagnaia was⛎ not convinced by the potential of it.  

"Yeah he did [make a good lap]. He did a 59.9 but I thinꩵk this was really a ‘push’ lap on this hard [tyre]," added the Ducati rider. 

"I’ve already seen t꧃hat on the data that in the second lap💙 time, but [mainly] the third lap that the spin was quite high. 

"It’s difficult now because the grip level this morning was very low. Tomorrow w꧅i꧑ll be better for sure. 

🌳"The rain has also cleaned the track a lot and also then, when I did two laps on the slick tyre this afternoon ♍the grip was quite good. But it was difficult to improve the position."
