168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Pedro Acosta was once again in the thick of the podium battle during the Catalunya MotoGP sprint, finishing third behind fellow Spaniards 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Aleix Espargaro and 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Marc Marquez.

Acos𝓡ta momentarily led after an overtake on Francesco Bagnaia on lap three, before leading again when Raul Fernandez crashed from first place at turn ten.

But Acosta was unable to hold onto that position as ove꧒rheating the tyres became an issue.

Asked if he had fun during theౠ 12-lap race, Acosta said: “Not the most. It was super tough. For sure, the toughest one of the whole season so far.

“The mom🌜ent you make a mistake ꦅwith the throttle and you start to spin and overheat the tyre you are done.

“This happened when Raul went in front of me, he was pushing like hell, and I got a bit hot and I said ‘okay, I will go for it’. Tough but also a help for the g🔯rand prix.”

Acosta, who lost out to second⛦ spot on the final lap when Marc Marquez out-braked the rookie into turn one, admitted to overheating his front tyre when following Bagnaia and Brad Binder.

“I overheated the front tyre behind Pecco and behind Brad,” said the GASGAS rider. “Then I was struggling with the gas and started spin🃏ning. 

“Then it snowballed and every corner got bigger and big🧸ger. Everyone wanted to be in front to save the front tyre but then it was so difficult to be in front because when you were alone and with a big distance to the guy in front, it was quite difficult to be fast in the last sect✅or.

“Then it was easy for the other gu🃏ys to overtake you in turn one, then it was difficult to avoid sliding in turn five, it was quite tricky.”

After crashing out in Le Mans, the return to the podium was a very welcome sig🗹ht for Acosta given the difficulti🐎es in the sprint.

But when asked if he believes his RC16 will be ready to challenge for the win in today’s grand prix, Acosta remained hope🎃ful.

Acosta began by saying: “I hope! The team is going to workও but we don’t really know. The good thing is that we are getting closer.

“A track that last year the bike suffered a lot at, now we are P3. Taking out the crash from Pecco in the last lap♕ because I know somebody will ask about that, but we were fourth. Maybe 1.2s from th𝓰e win. It is not so far.”

Turn ten was Acosta’s chance! 

When Marquez came through for secꦚond, Acosta lo🧸oked lively as he seemingly wanted to snap straight back.

The reigning Moto2 world champꦐion admitted that was💙 his initial feeling and that a move was planned for turn ten.

However, Acosta soon decided against such a manoeuvre: “I was trying to prepare turn ten because it was the safest one ღbecause if I went wide I had asphalt to run wide.

“But the gap to Martin was🐼 not 🅠massive and also, after seeing Pecco crash I said we had more to lose than win, today.”
