After a quiet performance in the Sprint race, the reigning MotoGP champion began to make a charge in the Grand Prix as he battled past 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Alex Marquez for second place.

But after battling hard with the Gresini rider for two laps, Bagnaia then crashed at the penultimate corner shortly after opening up 𝐆a six tenths advantage. 

After a sensational end to last season, coupled with a very strong pre-season and his double win at the season-opener,🧸 mistakes seemed to be erased from his game prior to losing the front-end at turn 13.  

"I heard what Bagnaia said as soon as he goܫt back," Tardozzi told . "He made a serious mistake. There are still 19 races and I believe that already from Austin, Pecco will have the opportunity to make up for🅰 it."

"I think he was at the limꦗit in 🌄that corner, Bezzecchi had more than a 5 second advantage and I don't think he thought of going to catch him. 

"Maybe he was unde💮r a bit of pressure because he had Marquez just six tenths behind him and with Morbidelli coming back, we signalled it ꦇto him."

The good news for Bagnaia is that even though mistakes seem to still be a chin🔥k in his armour, the pace he’s showing will continue to put him in the hunt for victories at most events.

Given how he dealt with the pressure of being in a title fight last season, more mistakes would be a surprise from Bagnaia going forward, which Tardozzi believes to be true as well after his𝓰 factory Ducati rider ana♉lysed and learned from his error. 

Tardozzi added: "It seems incredible to say it today but I think Pecco has matured from the mistakes he made in the first part of last yea🤡r. 

"Today he repeated it, he anꦯalysed it in detail with his engineers. He is suffering particularly from this crash because he was aware that it shouldn't be done, he had to bring home points. 

"You have to bring home points in the first par🍃t of the season and then attack in ✃the second part as I said all winter. 

"Unfortunately he made a mistake but we can't crucify ℱhim, we have to support him and help him."
