168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez moved to the top of the timesheets for the first time this weekend during a sweltering morning warm-up for the Malaysian MotoGP.

The Gresini rider was just 0.003s quicker than Sprint winner Jorge Martin, w♏ho has his first chance to win the 2024 crown in this afternoon’s grand prix.

Martin will be the first satellite champion of the MotoGP era if he can raise hi🎉s current points lead over Francesco Bagnaia from 29 to 38 today.

But Bagnaia, who crashed while holding second between🧔 Martin and Marquez early in the Sprint, was also fast this morning, in third place and a mere 0.012s from the to🐲p.

Most riders were again using the soft front/medium rear tyre combination from the Sprint, which they will need 🃏to manage much more carefully over the full 20-lap grand prix... if it's dry.

While Marquez💧 and Bagnaia started warm-up with tyres that had already done 7 (soft front) and 4 (medium rear) laps, Martin bucked the trend by fitting a new medium tyre combined with a 10-lap old medium rear.

Bagnaia has hinted that he may ride tactically🐎 this afternoon, since winning the three remaining races is no longer enough to defend his crown. But the weather could also upset the order, with r🧔ain a major threat from midway onwards.

Behind the top three, Alex Marquez (Gresini) and 📖Pedro Acosta (GASGAS), both set the same lap time to finish 0.063s from Marc Marquez.

Franco Morbidelli (Pramac), Fabio Quartararo (Yamaha), Aleix Espargaro (Aprilꦕia)♉, Enea Bastianini (Ducati) and Jack Miller (KTM) completed the top ten during the ten-minute session.

Mꩵarquez had to swerve around Quartararo after they bot🐲h looked across to see the results on a big screen at Turn 1 after the session had ended.

Meanwhile, Ba🌳stianini was not amused to find his flag-to-flag practice blocked by Martin.
