168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Marc Marquez's crew chief has insisted that he did not have a technical problem before the Qatar MotoGP.

Marquez did not clarify when🧜 asked if he was experiencing a problem with his ride height device on the starting grid - before a restart was triggered by Rauꦛl Fernandez.

The delay of approximately 10 minutes allowed engineers from every team to get an addit🦄ional look at the bike꧑s.

TV rep💙lays appeared to show Marquez fiddling with his dashboard or handlebars during the delay.

But Frankie Carchedi, his crew ch🦂ief, confirmed on social media: "No, bike needed stands and warmers on because the bikes were left for about seven minutes before they started."

When a𓄧sked by TNT Sports afterwards if he experi🍰enced a tech issue, Marquez said: “My biggest problem? The tyre management was for the front.

“Most of the ꧅riders manage 🍬the rear but I managed the front.

“My riding style, I push the froꦑnt a lot. Still we need to find the correct b♊alance to save the front. I was riding in a good way.”

The restart was an anti-climaticꦿ moment before the 2024 MotoGP s💙eason-opener caused by Trackhouse rider Fernandez.

It forced every rider on the starting grid to re-focusཧ and prepare again.

Marquez reac🍌ted to Fernandez’s error: “It’s the first race and everybody is s🧜uper nervous.

“But you know as a rider that if you stop the bike on the grid, then you need to go out, as soon as possible, so at least the other🍌s can restart the race.”

Marquez’s first MotoGP round as a Gresini Ducati rider concluded with P5 in the sprint race and ꦏP4 in the grand p๊rix.

Although💎 the two wins were shared by Jorge Martin and Francesco Bagnaia, last year’s title rivals, there is hope for Marquez.

“Yes, I am ღsuper happy about my weekend,” he said.

“A🔯nd happy with the team too, because they did good work. I was looking for [the top five].

“When I did a good start and a good first lap, I understood that maybe it was pᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚossible.

“But honestly I was always watching the podium because I was superℱ close. For most of the race I was riding in fourth poꦛsition.

“It was difficult but I tried to manage the tyres in a good way. In the last laps I pushed, but the others pus♔hed too. It was not possible.

ꦓ“But we understood a few things, I learned more about the race weekend, about how to manage the tyres. We need to keep going step by step.

“For me, Poജrtimao will be important. Why? Because in the Malaysia and Qatar tests I took a lot of time to get intꦫo rhythm.

“Let’s se𝐆e in Portim﷽ao if I can be, straight away, on a good pace. In Qatar it helped me that we had a test here two weeks ago. Portimao will be different.”

MotoGP returns in Portimao on March 22-24.
