By the midway stage of the French MotoGP, 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Fabio di Giannantonio was holding a pod🐬ium place behind only the factory Duc🧔atis of Francesco Bagnaia and Jorge Martin.

di Giannantonio had also set what would be the s꧅econd fastest lap of the race,💎 but was now starting to come under pressure from fellow GP23 rider Marc Marquez.

After holding off Marquez for four laps, the Italian was forced to yield to the eight-time world champion, then received a long lap penalty for cutting the fir🌠st chicane during his defence.

Ultimately, the time lost didn’t alter his finishing position of sixth - with Maverick Vinales five-seconds ahead - as di Giannantonio matched his best result so far as 𒅌a VR46 rider.

“I'm super happy, the best weekend so far with the team,” di Giannantonio said. “After the wa🌺rm up, I felt really good, the sensations while riding were excellent.

“I got off to a great start, I was in a battle with Aleix [Espargaro] and I knew I had a good pace. At the end I have struggled a bit with the rear tyre, the bike wa🌠s shaking a lot and I had to raise the pace a bit.

“The others came from behind, I tried to hold the position. A pity for the long lap, but I'm happy. We had a good race and a good battle with Marc [Marquez]. Let's sor𒁏t out the last details and fight🍸 with the strongest guys in Catalunya.”

di Giannantonio’s delight was in stark contrast to team-mate 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Marco Bezzecchi. The 2022 Le Mans winner left France with zero points after crashing in both the Sprint (whi♍le in a podium place) and then Sunday race.

“It's a shame, we didn't need a double crash because we were very competitive,” Bezzecchi said. “At the touch of gas, I lost the front. It's a kind of feeling that I've had since the beginning o🌌f the season and that we need to work on.

“I don't think I could have stayed with Jorge [Martin] and Pecco [Bagn𝕴aia], but perhaps with Enea [Bastianini] and Maverick [Viñales] yes.

“I was fighting with Enea when in♑ an overtaking, I couldn't do anyꦉthing to avoid the crash.

“The riding sensations were good, the bik🦹e wheeling a lot at the start, but perhaps the top 5 was possible. 𓂃Let's analyse all the data and try again in Barcelona.”

di Giannantonio’s 13 points this weekend have move෴d him ahead of Bezzecchi for ninth in the world championship.
