Quartararo’s lead at the top of the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:standings, with six races to go, has b🎐een cut to 30 points at a time when Bagnaia’s forღm is red-hot.
“It was heartbreaking to watch,” BT Sport’s Laverty said about Yamaha ܫride𒊎r Quartararo.
“Fabio is performing mira🤪cles, as we say every weekend.ཧ But fifth was the best he could do!
“He still rode an ex꧟ceptional ra🤡ce but he’s still not there.

“Then it comes down to Valencia, mano-a-mano at the final rou🦹ꦦnd! What a weekend!
“I hope it doesn’t come down to team orde🦋rs but Ducati’s strength in numbers will come to the 𓆉fore in these last six rounds.
“Pecco is sublime. But it’s all the ⛎Ducatis. Every tim⛄e, they will be between Pecco and Fabio.
“We have some tracks where, on paper, Ducati are strong. And it’s not just one Ducati. He’s𒅌 got a fight on his hands.”
