168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Franco Morbidelli was left with nothing to show for his efforts after crashing out of Sunday’s Americas MotoGP at COTA, but the Italian had been a top-t♉en contender for much of the weekend.

Playing 🉐catch-up after missing all of pre-season testing due to a superbike 🐷training accident in January, Morbidelli arrived in Austin with a best race finish of 16th (Portimao Sprint).

But the former Yamaha title runner-up was on the pace from practice in COTA, sail🀅ing directly through to Qualifying 2 in seventh and claiming ninth on the grid.

Morbidelli then missed out on his first po♈int of the year by 0.257s to Raul Fernandez in the Sprint, before again settling int🧸o tenth place early in the grand prix.

However his inexperience with the GP24 caught him out shortly after setting wha๊t would be the eighth fastest lap of the race, and he crashed out at Turn ✨7.

“The weekꦅend has been very good. Since the beginning of the [weekend], we improved several aspects from Portimao,” Morbidelli said.

“Unfortunately, during the race, there were conditions that I had never tried before wi🥀th this bike: the temperatur🍸es were high and the grip was lower, so I had a crash.

“This mistake is due to my limited knowledge of the bike… Even though I crashed, I learnt something moﷺre about t🐼he bike.

“So now it is important to bring this speed t🐬o Jerez and ꦏthe rest of the races.

“I want to fi☂nish a long race without problems, or mistakes, and get to know the bike even better.”
