168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Maverick Vinales recovered from a Friday crash to finish eighth on the practice timesheets for the French MotoGP, securing direct passage into Qualifying 🔯2 for the home Tech3 KTM team.

The Spaniard had picked up where he left off after a fourth place at Jerez and th൲en second at the post-race tཧest by being just 0.005s behind Marc Marquez at the time of his front-end crash.

“It was a good Friday, already from FP1. I'm happy with the rhythm. Still, we need to adjust a little bit more the bike. I'm a little bit too s💞ideways in some parts of the track and that's the reason why I crashed,” Vinales told MotoGP.com.

Quick to rejoin on his spare RC16, Vinales managed to improve on his earlier best ✃to end the session directly behind fellow KTM rider Pedro Acosta.

But it ꦜwas his race pace that gave Vinales the greatest confidence heading into Saturday’s Sprint.

Told that Francesco Bagnaia had tipped Vinales and Fabio Quartararo to be in podium conteꦿntion tomorrow, the former Suzuki, Yamaha and Aprilia race winner꧟ replied:

“Yes, I feel today on paper we were very fast on the rhythm. We need a little bit more for one lap, but we know what we need to adjust for tomorrow. I feel quite confident that on terms of rhythm I'm able to fight at the front,” said Vinales, the only KTM rider to lea𓆏d a r🧜ace this season, in Qatar.

Still in the early stages of adapting to the RC16 after switching from Aprilia, Vinales insists the bike is finally starting to feel like his ow🍸n: “As you see today, I’m still understand💦ing the bike, I'm learning the limits, so still there is a long way to go but we are on a good level.”

A place on the front two rows is his goal for qualifying, but otherwise Vi꧙nales insists he remains focused on fine-tuning.

“I will try for sure I will push at the ma𝄹ximum of the bike, at the maximum of everything. We will see where we are, but anyway, I don't look too much to the position. I'm looking to the feelings and the feelings are good.”

Team-mate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Enea Bastianini again missed out on an automatic Q2 spot, finishi💖ng 13th.

“Today was a positive day, during which we improved lap by lap, and I feel satisfied with our progres൲sion… Every track this year is a reset for me because the KTM behaves differently from what I was used to in the past, but we 𒁃are working on it.”
