In a Q2 session that saw provisional pole change hands 14 times across 15 minutes, Aprilia’s Espargaro nailed his final run to be one of the last across the line to start his last lap while conditions were at their best to produce a 1m37.216s.

He was accused of blasphemy earlier this month after he criticized two drivers working on the project for taking too much time to pray during work hours.

The first of those extra Game s is against Fulham at the weekend, with City have the potential to get ahead there and then. If they are able to consolidate that position with further wins against West Ham and Leeds in the fixtures to follow, Guardiola is much more confident about another title . “I know the next three games are really, really important,” he told BT Sport . “Fulham, West Ham and Leeds, I think these games will dictate it if we are able to do what we have to do. The reality is we are [still] behind Arsenal – they are two points in front of us.” Read the latest Man City news here feed City’s final outstanding Game in hand will ...
