168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Marc Marquez and 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Francesco Bagnaia will come together again at the Circuit of the Americas, ♔for the first time since their clash.

Bagnaia wiped out Marquez at the Portuguese MotoGP last time out, in a battle for fifth-position.

Instead, they ended up in the gravel an🐷d point-less allowing Jorge Martin to escape Portimao as the championship leader.

The clash between ✅Marquez and Bagnaia, although a racing incident, is the first test 𝓡of Ducati’s management this year.

It was always likely🏅 that the addition to the Ducati ranks of a star like Marquez would cause some friction with title rivals.

Gigi Dall’Igna was extremely careful in 🌟his post-race debrief not to apportion any blame to either rider.

What have they said behind-closed-doors to Bagnaia and Marquez to avoid a repeat incident? Have they said any🦂thing at all?

They certainly won’t want to see t𒁃wo of thei๊r main men in the gravel again.

Marquez and Bagnaia also denied any ill feeling bet♊ween them.

“We have a good relationship with Pecco,” Marq🎃uez sꦐaid. “No problem.

“He knows what he did. He knows what mဣistake he did.

“I accept that these things happen in races.”

Bagnaia insisted it was bad luck: 🌌“It’s something that, unluckily, can happen.”

Marquez debuts at favourite track on a Ducati

Marquez ha☂s won at the Circuit of the Americas in Texas seven times.

This year, he returns on a Ducati for t🙈he fi༺rst time.

Ma♊ny within the paddock believe that, after two﷽ productive rounds, this weekend will reveal if Marquez is a true title contender.

Gresini prepared for Texas🌸 b🌃y releasing imagery of Marquez as ‘The Martian’, from Matt Damon’s movie.

But despite his extra-terrestrial skills o🅰n this track, he will find stiff competition.

Enea Bastianini, wh🐭o has quietly found form this year, won in Texas for Gres🌠ini in 2022.

Last year LCR Hondaℱ’s Alex Rins won ahead of VR46’s Luca Marini showing the possibility of a su🐲rprise result.

Marquez hasn’t won a MotoGP raꦅce since October 2021 in Misano.

Journalist Robert Jone🦂s told the Crash MotoGP podcast: “He has to be eyeing up a win.

“Now, with the added element of a sprint, if Marquez doeඣsn’t win at least one of the races he would leave COTA disappointed.”

Peter McLaren added: “Everything is there f꧋or Marc to do well. Qualifying will be key.

“It will be a big part of the weekend for everybody but especially for Marc to avoid f✅ront tyre pressure problems.

“If he can get to the front early? You wouldn’t count out him ge🔯tting to t🏅he front and disappearing!”
