168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Francesco Bagnaia will seek to even the score with 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Marc Marquez at the Circuit of the Americas this weekend.

Their Portimaoꦛ disaster left both riders in the gravel, the🎀n point-less and losing crucial ground in the championship fight.

Ba𝓡gnaia caused them both to crash by trying to overtake Marquez into fifth.

The incident was due to Bagnaia wanting to stamp his authority on Ducati new boy Marquez, insists MotoGP commentator Matt Birt.

“People inside the paddock an🦩d fans around the world said that the sport is lacking 🔥the next big rivalry, and a bit of needle,” Birt said.

“We didn’t 👍need to wait long until Marc was causing chaos in🌸 his second race at Ducati!

“Portimao was a classic ex𝔍ample of two proper heavyweights flexing their muscles.

“They didn’t want to be beaten by each other.

“U🅠nfortunately two heavyweights flexing their muscles… they both end up on the floor. Not good for the championship.

“Pecco says ꦡMarc was too aggressive closing the line. Marc says Pecco was t꧑oo optimistic with the gap that was there.

“It is already a headache for Ducati management 🌌behind-the-scenes.

“It’s what we want as ne﷽utralꩲs, two of the best riders going at it hammer and tongs!

“For me, it was t♔he right call💝 [a racing incident]. I’d go 60-40 in the blame game on Bagnaia.

“It has certainly spiced up this weekend…”

The ওfall-out is that Ducati must manage relations between their star man and reigning MotoGP champion Bagnaia, a🍃nd their esteemed newcomer Marquez.

The dominant Italian m🍌anufacturer will not want a repeat of their two riders ending e𝔉ach other’s hopes again.

“Poten🅠tially a humongous headac🍃he for Ducati,” Birt said.

“But they knew this when they signed Marc. They know the rider that he is. He’s all-i🔯n, very agg𝔉ressive.

“This🌌 was, for me, Bagnaia not wanting in the second race of the season to be beat⛎en by someone who is coming to take his crown.

“ꦕPecco has been the undisputed top dog at Ducati. Then at round two, Marc has come in…

“They have different opinions on what ha🌺ppened. It is the kind of juicy rivalry that we’ve been waiting for.

“I can’t wait for this weekend because they’ll be fighting at the front in the sprint and in t𒁃he grand prix.”

The MotoGP of the Americas in Texas is traditionally Marqu🦹ez’s favourite track.

He has won seven times at this circuit ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚwith Honda, and now debuts on a Ducati in the third round of the 2024 MotoGP season.

“I would be gobsmacked꧋ if Marc doesn’t win at least the sprint or the grand prix,” Birt 🍷predicted.

“This is where Ma🦹r൩c will truly understand where he’s at, and his potential on the Ducati.

“🐲He’s never been a fan of Qat🤪ar, likewise Portimao.

“This is🌳 his manor. His back yard. This weekend is where we’ll see how explosive he🉐 can be.

“Can he p✨roduce the performan🅷ce that he did for Honda back in the day?”

Bagnaia, however, will not want to sit back and𝐆 let Marquez take all the glory༺ at COTA.

He has a habit of replying strongly to adversity.

“Look at his record,” Birt said. “Bagnaia is the epitome of Mr 🔜Consistency.

“Yes he ha🦩s dropped the ball a few times but he is fantaܫstic at bouncing back. He doesn’t dwell on setbacks.

“Since the sprint era came in, Portima𒐪o was only the second time in the new format that Bagnaia hasn’t scored at least one podium in a weekend.

“He has said it’s time for redemption at the rodeo. It will be fantastic to see how he🌃 comes🎀 out swinging.

“He wants payback on his circuit⛦. And he wants payback on the #93 as well!”

Marquez is 33 points behind championship leader Jorge Martin. Bagnaia is 23 points♎ behind Martin.
