168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Marco Bezzecchi looked set to back up his Jerez MotoGP podium wit💛h a Sprint rostrum at Le Mans on Saturday, as he shadowed race leader Jorge Martin for the opening ten laps.

But with Marc Marquez starting to close on the duo, Bezzecchi p🌳ushed to respond and suddenly lost the front on entry to the Esses, with 3 laps to go.

“I felt reallꦕy good, everything was under control,” said the VR46 rider, winner of last year’s French Grand Prix.

“I had a great pace, Jorg🤪e (Martin) was c✃loser and I understood that Marc (Marquez) was coming from behind and I tried to push to open the gap a bit.

“I made a mistake at turn 9 and couldn't recover.

“I didn't brake too late, but I ൩leaned the bike a bit earlier compared to the lap before, and doing this, the front just closed.

“🌳It wasn't necessary, a real sh🃏ame to have missed the podium.

“I can't be happy, but it w🎉as important to confirm ourselves as competitive here too.

“Tomorrow, I think the pace will be different, theꦫ🧔re will also be the weather to understand, but we can do well.”

The Italian’s exit means he is yet to score a Saturday point this season but team-mate Fabio di Giannantonio - who started just ahead of Bezzecchi in♒ fourth - at least broke his 2024 Sprint drought with seventh place.

But he felt much more was possible.

“In qualifying I had an ex💯cellent feeling, I felt I had a mar🌠gin that I wasn't able to make the most of due to the yellow flags. In the race however, I immediately started to have a particular feeling,” di Giannantonio said.

“It's a shame, I have struggled, we need to analyse the data an𝕴d understand, our potential was certainly different. 

"Overall I finished the Sprint in the poi♈nts for the first time this season and I know I have the pace to be with the best tomorrow. We just need to understand what the weather will do.”

Rain is forecast for Sunday.
