Both Alex and Marc Marquez, after being among the protagonists of today\u2019s on-track action, could not capitalise when it mattered the most as they finished Practice in 11<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0and 12<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0place, respectively.<\/p>\n<p>Nothing is irreversible, however, although there will be a little bit of extra pressure in tomorrow\u2019s Q1 after nearly missing out of a direct seed in the final moments of the afternoon session. Alex crashed out (uninjured) at turn ten, with his tumble bringing out the yellow flags and, at the same time, taking Marc\u2019s last opportunity away.<\/p>\n<p><strong>11<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0&#8211; ALEX MARQUEZ #73 (1\u201939.113s)<\/strong><br \/>\n\u201cObviously the crash didn\u2019t help but it\u2019s also true that feeling-wise it has been the best Friday of the season so far. We knew the Ducatis would suffer a bit more compared to other bikes, but it\u2019s part of the game. We need to work ahead of tomorrow but the goal is to make it into Q2.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>12<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0&#8211; MARC MARQUEZ #93 (1\u201939.153s)<\/strong><br \/>\n\u201cI must admit that I wasn\u2019t feeling very comfortable already in the early stages of the afternoon session and then I couldn\u2019t make the most of the soft tyre. It\u2019ll be hard tomorrow as we know that Q1 is the worst session of the weekend, but we\u2019ll give it all and see how it goes. This is not one of my favourite tracks and <span dir=\"ltr\">this Friday<\/span> confirmed my worries.
