As 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Francesco Bagnaia led an early Ducati 1-2 ahead of 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez in third, GASGAS Tech Factory Racing officially confirmed their 2023 MotoGP line-up, with Augusto Fernandez joining Pol Espar🧔garo

Despite showing early promise, Marquez made a quick return to pit lane as he was bumped down to fifth by 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fabio Quartararo and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Aleix Espargaro

Continuing his mixed Friday at the Aragon MotoGP, Espargaro suffer𝔉ed a second crash of the day after going down at turn 14. 

A corner known for front-end crashes, that’s 🌠exa꧙ctly what happened to the Aprilia rider. 

Lacking pace in FP1, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Maverick Vinales bounced back immediately in FP2 as he went q📖uickest on combined times from Bagnaia during the opening stint. 

A time of 1:48.842s was set by the Spaniard which was just 0.011s quicker than the Italian. In third, Quartararo was🍷 𝓀only +0.031s off top spot. 

After using the standard 2022 Honda during this morning’s FP1, Marquez was seen using✤ the new Kalex swingarm in FP2. 

Also liking the new swingarm was 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Takaaki Nakagami, with the LC☂R Hoဣnda rider just one place behind Marquez in seventh. 

Trying to push on the pace with just over ten minutes remaining, Quartararo ran off-track at turn12.&🎐nbsp;

With most of the field electing not to set a time attack run in FP1, the closing stages of FP2 were dra𝔉stically different as the entire field began to find improvements.  

Nakagami was the first rider to start lighting up the timing screens, however, the Japanese rider lost time in sectors three and four which resulted in ♋him going💛 fifth quickest.

Marquez was the next rider who looked setꩵ to claim top spot, however, the six-tim🍃e MotoGP champion lost three tenths in the final corner after momentarily losing the rear of his RC213V.
