168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Maverick Vinales has thrown down the gauntlet to the Ducatis ahead of the sprint race at the Americas MotoGP.

Pramac Ducati’s Jorge Martin smashed theꦦ lap record at the Circuit of the Americas on Friday in practice to top the timesheets.

But Aprilia’s in-form Vinalesไ was notably 🌼in second-place.

Vinales had gone fastest in the first Friday session with a ti𝓀me of 2m 🎃3.294s.

And, last time out in Portimao, Vinales won the sprint race. His form and his confi☂dence in Texas now feel ominous.

“We left Portimao fighting for the top and we startꦛed in Austin at the same level, or even better,” Vinales reacted to practice.

“That’s huge, a fantastic feeling. I’m really happy with the feel🍨ing that I h🔴ave on the track.

“♚Honestly, to have this flow on the track is amazing. You enjoy it a lot♏.

“It’s a track where you e🥂xpect a good performance.

“There are things to improve, as always.

“But, honestly, I feel on point༺. I just wanted to go out and do more time attacks!”

Vinales detailed the🎀 areas where ♎he can improve with his Aprilia for Saturday.

“Brakes, especially with the soft tyre,” he said.

“With the medium tyre, I am well set. For the♕ race꧋, I am okay.

“With the soft tyre, tꦉhere a🍬re a few things to keep working.

“I feel confident. I feel ready to 🅰go. That is important.

“Of course, Ducati will be there. That is clear.

But we can be the guys to fight against them.”

Vinales’ teammate Aleix Espargaro was sixth in🌠 practice, underlining Aprilia’s steadily im𓄧proving fortunes this season.

But the ❀form of Vinales is particularly signi𝓡ficant.

“No matter the track, no matter the s🌺ection, when I have the balance on the bike that I like, I am able to be fast,” he warned.

“Another thing tha🧸t’s important is that I have r🔜ecovered my speed over one lap.

“Now✱, I feel very strong 💜over one lap. I just feel in my best moment.

෴“I will keep working with this momentumꦰ because it’s very important.”
