168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Jorge Lorenzo has blamed 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Francesco Bagnaia for the incident with 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Marc Marquez at the Portuguese MotoGP, insisting he should h🧔ave allowed his🐷 rival to pass.

Race Direction deemed the collision a racing incident, which b♛oth riders and now Lorenzo agree with, although Marquez made it clear that Bagnaia’s manoeuvre was only borderline ac꧅ceptable.

Bagnaia’s attempt to dive up the inside of Marquez in Portimao in a battle for P5 caused both rid💧ers to c🐈rash.

Bagnaia did not restart, and M💙arquez insteaಌd finished P16.

“Marc is an aggressive rideﷺr, but in this specific moment in my opinion he is not at fault,” Lorenzo told .

“Because the person overtaking th🍨e person in front does not have a complete 360° vis💝ion of what is happening.

“Instead, the one behind, in this case Bagnaia, could see Marquez's intention which was to reꦆturn to the line.

“So, in this case in my opinion Pecco was the one who could have avoided this fall simply by letting M༺arc pass in that corner in front of him and find himself further ahead.

“Instead, he saw a small space, he opened the throttle a little more t🥂han normal to squeeze in, but the space there was minimal, they both had the same intention, which was to𓆉 start first in that corner, and in the end they touched.

“In this case, in my opinion, Marc is not at fault and Pecco could have ꩲavoided the collision.

“But it is right not to penalise either of them.”

Questioned if Bagania should have been punished, Lorenzo replied: “No, but if Pecco had accepted Marc's overtaking to tr🦹y again later, in my opinion no one would have crashed.”

ꦿJorge Martin was the biꦏg beneficiary of the incident.

He won the Portuguese MotoGP and now sits at the top of the standings aft෴er 🎐two rounds.

B꧙ut Lorenzo insisted that Bagnaia a🌱nd Marquez will still rejoin the title scrap.

“Yes sure. Only two races have passed aౠnd there is still a lot to go,” Lorenzo said.

“Pecco demonstrated a coldness and serenity. Maybe he made s꧃ome mistakes, like on Saturday in that braking that made him lose the victory and a small error in calculating the risk in that action 𝓡with Marquez.

“But Pecco continues to be ꦺa great champion, a very calm and cerebral rider. “Marc, on the other hand, is doing very well in Ducati, which is not easy.

“He has the🦋 2023 bike and therefore is a bit inferior in condition, even if minim🐭al.

“In my opinion, Marc 🐟is feeling better and is goin♛g faster.

“ཧTherefore, Pecco and Marc will be among the favourites for the world championshi🌟p.”

Jorge Lorenzo backs Enea Bastianini to challenge

Lorenzo also backed Bagnaia’s fact𒐪ory Ducati teammate Enea Bastianini to fight for the title.

Bastianini’s debut season in red was wrecked by injury but, aꦅt the weekend in Portimao, he claimed pole position as a remꦑinder of his talent.

“Enea was very unlucky last year,” Loren🐽zo remembered. “Furthermore, Enea wasn't happy with last year's bike.

“Now he has recovered perfectly, pe🍃rfect physical conditions and a bike that feels better: we have found a competitiv🌠e Enea again.

“Maybe he is not yet showing his true potential in the second part of the raꦜces in which he is certainly the strongest, but slowly finding confidence in himself we will see a talented Bastianini who will fight for victories and certainly forඣ the world championship.”
