Reigning double MotoGP champion 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Francesco Bagnaia looked set to celebrate♏ his first Sprint victory since Austria last August as he controlled the𝄹 pace at the front of Saturday’s Portimao race.

The factory Ducati star grabbed the lead from the KTM of Jack Miller on lap 2 and was keeping just out of 🐈reach of his pursuers when he crossed the 💞line with four laps to go.

But Bagnaia then made a ‘huge ℱmistake’ by underestimating the effect of the reducing fuel load in the hard, downhill braking zone for Turn 1, running wide and dropping to fourth.

Asked w🅠hat had happened, Bagnaia smiled: “I f**ked up!”

“I started well. Was attacking. Then I could open and manage the gap, so everything was pওerfect.

“But I didn't consider the fact of the fuel consumption and that the first corner is a bit strange because the steep downhill makes the rear get [higher]. And I was braking♔ always the same.

"Then I just tried to avoid a cra🌄sh by going wide, but I lost everything."

The issue of the rear starting to flo𝕴at more under braking as the fuel load decreases 𓄧is something “I feel a bit more” with the GP24 and “much more in this track.

“It was something that I had to 💜consider, but I didn't!”

Insisting it had not been a lapse of concentration, the Italian added: “I think I’ve managed🎃 much more high-pressur🙈e situations…

🐎“I was fully focused on keeping the same pace, keep🗹ing the same gap with the guys behind.

“I trie💝d to do a slower lap in 39.0 [on lap 7 of 12] thenꦫ I did a 38.7 to open the gap again, [controlling] like I was doing in Qatar.

“To be as constant as possible you have to do always the same thing - but as soon I braked… So for tomorrow it’s something that I will consider more. But everytꦆhing will change with the medium rear tyre [instead of the soft], so it will be another story.”

After re-joining Ba🦩gnaia remained in fourth, 4♔.155s behind Aprilia Sprint winner Maverick Vinales.

"In the last four laps I was just trying to arrive withꦑout making any more mistakes because I did already a huge mistake. So it was im𝐆portant to finish the race with the maximum points possible. 

“For sure it was better to win tod🍷ay, finally, because it's a long time that I wasn't feeling like this in a Sprint race.

“This kind of 💙mistake is not helping, but we have to take🌞 the positives and see that we were able again to fight in a Sprint race with a soft rear tyre that hasn't been my best feeling.”

Bagnaia continues to hold the early world championship lead, now by two𝔍 points over Jorge M🐟artin, third on Saturday.

Team-mate and pole q🃏ualifier Enea Bastianini couldn’t engage his front holeshot device at the start and spent almost the entire race in sixth.

“I deactivated the ༒front device at th🍌e start,” he said. “When I arrived on the grid then it just pops [back up]. I braked a lot and it deactivated. My error.

“Then the bike wheelied a lot, also because the electronics settings ar🌌e designed to be used with the holeshot [device⛄].”
