Bezzecchi<\/a> told Sky Italia.<\/p>\n\u201cSo we achieved our first goal, which was to get to Q2.<\/p>\n
\u201cObviously, I’m not feeling perfectly comfortable yet, but I managed to work on my riding a bit during this afternoon’s session and set a decent time.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Italian, who starts the weekend eleven points clear of team-mate Jorge Martin, explained that the one-line nature of the circuit adds to the complexity.<\/p>\n
“It’s a tough track, for better or for worse, with very few options for interpreting many of the corners,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn other words, there’s only one way to do them: either you do them that way or you don’t go [fast].<\/p>\n
\u201cThis makes it all ultra-competitive because perhaps there’s less opportunity to express yourself with slightly different lines and perhaps make a bit more of a difference.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut at the same time, the gaps are reduced.<\/p>\n

\u201cFurthermore, the grip is quite good, despite the weather being a bit unstable.\u201d<\/p>\n
Assuming conditions remain dry, Bezzecchi plans to focus on braking precision and bike stability during Saturday morning practice.<\/p>\n
“I need to fine-tune my riding a bit because there were two or three points where, especially under braking, I wasn’t precise enough,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThen I’ll definitely try to work on the bike’s overall stability when we’re on the soft tyre, which is always our base tyre.”<\/p>\n
Martin was sixth fastest with Trackhouse Aprilia rider Ai Ogura making it three Aprilias in the top ten.<\/p>\n
