With the difficult weather conditions on Phillip Island, Australia gave harsh taste to every rider in MotoGP.<\/p>\n

The temperature on the track was 16\u00b0C as it was constantly pouring until midday. However<\/a>, post-lunch the weather went on to become worst to better and the track warmed till 36\u00b0C.

However, the stormy weather<\/a> is predicated all through this coming weekend at Phillip Island is going to make the task more difficult for the riders.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
We saw riders making most of it in the rainy morning conditions in today’s FP2. Marquez on his Honda RC213V quickly regained the composure<\/a> in these conditions and finished on the sixth spot with a time of 1\u201929.421 on his 19th lap.

Jorge Lorenzo too managed to improvise his time after changes were<\/a> made. He made 1\u201941.958 in FP1 for 18th and improved to a 1\u201930.706 for 16th in FP2. He later switched to the softer tire to show better improvisation.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Marc Marquez was later saved the day from 70.8\u00b0 of the lean angle at Turn 10 on his RC213V that made the audience happy.

While Marquez stood 6th, Lorezo stood 16th in the table.<\/p>\n

Quotes<\/p>\n

Marc Marquez<\/h4>\n

\u201cOur feeling today was not bad, I\u2019m happy. In our fast lap we couldn\u2019t find the best way to have a good lap time but our rhythm is there. Honestly, I\u2019m riding better than I expected because I knew Vi\u00f1ales and Yamaha would be strong here but we are not far from them. We\u2019ll now keep working, it wasn\u2019t a bad first day. <\/em><\/p>\n

Of course the weather is still looking very complicated for the rest of the weekend so we will have to see what happens. Today we broke another record with the save. My brother did a great save in Motegi so I had to try and equal it but I think his is still best! At the end of FP2 I came up to Jorge on my flying lap while he was going slowly, we made a bit of contact but Jorge and I already spoke about what happened.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n


Jorge Lorenzo<\/h4>\n

\u201cToday we started in the wet and my feeling at the start was OK. In the afternoon I was struggling a bit with corner entry when using the medium tyre, but with the soft tyre I was able to go a second and a half faster straight away. <\/em><\/p>\n

It helped our position at the end quite a lot. Unfortunately, right at the end I didn\u2019t look back to see I had three or four riders behind me, I tried to be as far on the inside as possible but Marc and I were a little too close.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
