"Marc will take victory in Le Mans..."
168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Marc Marquez will win on a Ducati for the first time at the next race, it has been predicted, after falling short at the Spanish MotoGP to 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Francesco Bagnaia.
Rei♌gning champion Bagnaia g🐈ot the better of Marquez in a to-and-fro scrap at the front in Jerez.
But enough can be seen in the progression of Marquez on the year-ol𒈔d De🐼smosedici to give paddock onlookers confidence that he will end his win-less streak at the next round.
“Marc will be back in Le Man꧋s. He will take victory in Le Mans,” Michael Laverty sa🙈id on TNT Sports.
“Everything is building towards it.
“Reme♕mber how he rode in Le Mans last year on that dog of a Honda? He was scrapp📖ing. He was sensational.
“Now, the confidence is going. Riding tig✱ht? He’s thinking about everything because he has had so many crashes.
“Now he’s got a seco𒐪nd-place under his belt he can relax and ride like the old Marc Marquez.”
Sylvain Guintol𝔍i assessed Sunday’s Jerez race: “The sta💮rt of the race was complicated for Marc, and this determined the race.
“He had to push a little bit, to come back. His front ಞtyre, we know, pressure went up by trying to make inroads.
“Marc said he was tight - he means riding tigh𓃲ཧt. Not loose on the bike, really getting all your positioning on the inside of the corner. He’s tight onto the bike which makes you a little slower.
“He did🌄n’t want 💞to crash straight away and throw it at the start of the race.
“At the end of the ra⛎cওe, he wouldn’t have minded. He was just going all-out to get that win.”
Laverty replied: “♈He’ll still be annoyed. He’s a winner t𝔉hrough and through.
“The victory was within his grasp. I don’t think he 🙈ꦉcould have done a lot more.
“He really worked his tyres har𓃲d. The front pressure goes ♒up. Then it becomes precarious, you could lock up and end up in the gravel again.
“He played every card🐷 that he had at his disposal.
“Pecco accelerated off the last turn a little better. Parts of the track, Pecco was beღtter. In parts, Marc was better. It was a good yo-yo over the lap,🐲 the see-saw effect.”
Guintoli said: “We know Marc is super strong in left turns. The way he made ground and lined peop🌳le up at the exit of 7 and 8, to have a go into 9. It was unreal.
“Pecco retaliating, not givi♏ng an inch to Marc, that w♊as beautiful.
“Both of them enjoyed the fighꦦt. Marc was proud to have tyreไ marks on his leathers.
“He was like: ‘It was a war, but I lost it’.”
The physical contact as Ba💫gnaia held off Marquez’s overtake attempt was the highlight of a brilliಞant battle.
It m𓂃ight have ended with both riders in the gravel, as they were in Portimao earlier this season.
“Incredibly close,” Laverty said. “The pictures show Pecco didn’t pick the bi💫ke up too much.
“He allowed Marc’s elbow to lean on his ty🌠re, and he kept turning.
“Th❀at’s riding at the Ranch. In flat-tᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚrack you do that a lot, you let someone ride on top of you.
“It’s a skill in itself. Only those two can do it, at🌠 this level.”
♋Guintoli said: “We learned that Marc is 100% back.
“He warned everybody coming here that the adaptation from Honda to Ducati was finished, he knows wh✨at the Ducati requires, the riding style.
“That’s what we saw this weekend. He was very consistent through practice, great qual🤪ifying in ജthe wet, so good in all conditions. Then he delivered in the races, as well.
“Marc is back! He has a competitive package andꦰ he’s making it work.”
Marquez is sixth in the MotoGP standings after Jerez, 32 points💛 behind championship leader Jorge Martin.
