Alex marks The Spanish Grand Prix appears to be at least affected by his remarkable return after two accidents on Friday.
Youth Markets, Jerez had a field square throughout the day, despite a low -speed accident and then a heavy tumble at the beginning of an hour -long practice.
After the second decline, which came as the Graceini Ducati Ryder, chased Bhai Mark as a fast -handed batsman in the pons, there was some doubt whether Alex would also be able to return to action in the session. He spent it a lot in his Gracini Motorhom, where he was nursing one hand that did not enjoy his journey through a gravel trap.
But he emerged with 16 minutes to go to the session – just to start for real push for a place in Q2 in time in time.
Eventually, he remained fast throughout the day between the crash, set the fastest time in free exercise 1 in the morning – impressively topping in all four areas. For the man who has given his brother regularly the best in this season, it was not the afternoon to sit injured.
Alex duly shot at the top of the test with a two -minute season. He was tenth of a second compared to a second Francaco gardeniaRemember his normal peerless speed only on the action of the first day of Motogp in Europe with his brother and this season.
The time of Alex was the first tour of 1M35.991s, Jerez Circuit, which has once made a Motogp bike below the 1M36S mark. And they achieved it with a set of medium tires, while all his rivals had a soft rear. As his team manager Mitchell Masaili later crashed it, “our tire plan F *** aid up”.

Marques may have a degree of fate for this lap time, as the session stood as a hurry to late accidents and interrupted or canceled the gaps of yellow flags and rivals. But there was no question on the quality of his lap, especially in circumstances.
Nevertheless, Alex, who is vested as 17 points of his brilliant brother in Standing, was not praising the media when he spoke to the media. He damaged not only his mistakes but also at the time of valuable race preparation in both sessions.
“The main objective was to be in Q2 and we managed it quite well,” he said. “But I am not happy about the day. We did not do the work and the work we needed to do.
“Today I was very confident with the bike. I was not feeling the boundary. I was trying to push it forward and I didn’t feel that I was angry. I am angry because it was a very confident mistake.”
On that subject, Alex also slipped a line used by a certain Ducati Rider in the way of a world title.
“The bike was very stable and was very good,” he said, Bagania’s words resonating after Italian was out of the lead in Kota in 2023.
“We need to control that risk a little, because Friday is like this … Ok, nothing happened today, but it can affect us for the championship.”

When suppressed, Marx reluctantly agreed that there was some positivity to his performance.
“Yes, we have done everything that we want in record, first places, morning and afternoon. But we have not done the work you really have to do on Friday. So I have a bitwatch taste.
“But we came back in a good way. The best way to say sorry to the team for mistakes is to be fast. So I was just trying to do so.”
Marx confirmed that he would not have any problem of injury over the weekend after a pair of accidents on Friday, despite the other, there would be a loss of feeling in his hands in the hands of the other.
“It was a very fast effect, and was very clean, but the stones were hurt in the 200 km/hdle stones and much more,” he said. “So this was the biggest problem.
“I could not feel my hands due to the friction caused by gravel. It was just so. I was fine, but my arms were sleeping and I did not think what was happening.
“Now I am just hurting a little, as normal. But physically I am quite fine.”
