Reigning MotoGP champion and title leader 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Francesco Bagnaia admits he heads into this afternoon’s Aragon Sprint race “still missing something” compared to 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez.

The factory Ducati starꦗ qualified on 𝓰the front row in third, losing out to Pedro Acosta by just 0.002s.

But both were over 0.8s behin🎃😼d Marquez’s pole time on the 2023 Ducati, with the Gresini rider topping every session so far this weekend.

“It was a very tough morning. Honestly, the [track] conditions weren't the best and we did the maximum we co⭕uld, but we are still missing something compared to Marc,” Bagnaia said.

“Marc is doing different lines, different things. Because taking eight-🧜tenths in a qualifying is something unbelievable. So we will check, understand and if it will be p♓ossible to do a step, we will do it.”

Bagnaia starts this afternoon’s Sprint five points clear of Jorge Martin who salvaged 🀅fourth on the🅺 grid after a fall in qualifying.

Marq🔯uez meanwhile will be chasing his first ever MotoGP Sprint victory and first ‘MotoGP win’ of any kind since Misano 2021.

“It's true that eight tenths loo🦩ks a lot, but we cannot forget that in other race tracks I was eight tenths behind the pole,” Marquez warned.

“So yeah, I feel🧔 super good and now we need to manage our confidence and keep especially the sa💞me mentality, because the track is quite slippery and it's easy to do a mistake.”

Althou💛gh a distant 83 points behind Bagnaia, Marquez looks to have a good chance of gaining ground on Enea Bastianiღni for third in the standings this weekend.

The Italian, currently 22 points ahead of Marquez, starts the pair of Aragon races from just 14th on the gri𝐆d.
