168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Marc Marquez and 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Francesco Bagnaia wܫill come together again at the Circuiꦦt of the Americas, for the first time since their clash.

Bagnaia wiped out Marquez at the Portuguese MotoGP last time out, in a battle for fifth-position.

Instead, they ended up in the gravel and point-less ☂allowing Jorge Maไrtin to escape Portimao as the championship leader.

The clash between Marquez and Bagnaia, although a racing i𝓀ncident, is the first test of Ducati’s management this year.

It was always likely that the add▨ition to the Ducati ranks of a ꦅstar like Marquez would cause some friction with title rivals.

Gigi Dall’Igna was extremely careful in his post-race debrief not to apportion a🏅ny blame to either rider.

What have they said behind-closed-doors to Bagn♔aia and Marquez to avoid a repeat incident? Have they said anything🌞 at all?

They certainly won’t want to see two of their main men in the gravel ꦗagain.

Marquez a𓆉nd Bagnaia also denied any ill feeling between them.

“We hav✤e a good relationship with Pecco,” Marquez said. “No problem.

“He knows what he didꦡ. He🍎 knows what mistake he did.

“I accept that these things happen in races.”

Bagnai💃a insisted it was bad luck: “It’s something that, unluckily, can happen.”

Marquez debuts at favourite track on a Ducati

Marquez has won at the Circ🍷uit of the Americas in♈ Texas seven times.

This year, he returns on a Ducati for the fi꧃rst time.

Many within the paddock believe that, after two productive rounds, this weekend will reveal if Marquez i🥂s a true title contender.

Gresini prepared for Texas by releasing imagery of Marquez 🔜as ‘The Martian’, from Matt Dam🐎on’s movie.

But despite his extra-terrജestrial skills on this track, he will find stiff competition.

Enea Bastianini, who𒈔 has quietly found form this year, won in Texas for Gresini in 2022.

Last year LCR Honda’s Aꦅlex Rins won ahead of VRꦿ46’s Luca Marini showing the possibility of a surprise result.

Marquez hasn’🐓t won a MotoGP race since October 2021 in Misano.

Journalist Robert Jones told the Crash MotoGP podcast: “He has to be eye꧋ing up a w🐓in.

“Now, with th𓃲e added element of🌊 a sprint, if Marquez doesn’t win at least one of the races he would leave COTA disappointed.”

Peter McLaren added: “Everything is there for Marc t꧙o do well. Qualifying will💯 be key.

“It will be 🐟a big part of the weekend for everybody but especially for Marc to avoid front tyre pressure probꦗlems.

“If he canꦑ get to the front early? You wouldn’t count out him getting to the front and disappearing!♒”
