Aprilia’s 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Maverick Vinales was the top non-Du🎃cati rider in qualifying for the both French MotoGP and then both races.

But the COTA winner was disappointed to drop from third place🔯 in the Sprint to fifth in the grand prix, despite pegging the victory deficit at fo🃏ur-seconds in both the half and full-length contests.

The gran😼d prix didn't start well when a scare at turn one saw Vinales straight line the chicane and slip to fifth.

“I braked, to [dis]engage all the devices, but then the bike shaked so much and I could not stay on the track,” Vinales explained. “When I re-entered, 💃maybe I gave up too much because I went from 2nd to 5th. But I made a mistake, so it was OK. After that, I tried to keep the rhythm.”

After Pedro🌠 Acosta passed him, then fell, Vinales overtook team-mate Aleix Espargaro for fourth.

Although Vinales couldn’t keep Marc Marquez at bay in the middle stages, Fabio di Giannantonio’s subsequent long lap put the RS-GP rider back into fourth. But 🐲a recovering Enea Bastianini took that place from him on the penultimate lap.

“We battled w🤡ith Marc, with di Giannantonio and I felt I could go forward to the front guys. Looked like we were closing the gap, but from lap 17 [of 27] I started to struggle a lot with the rear tyre and was more conservative,” said Vinales.

“I saw I had a lot of room behind, so I t✨ried not to make any mistakes. So in a bad weekend, these points were really important.”

Vinales was the only non-Ducati rider in the top seven and, althoug💫h fifth in the world championship standings, is only ten points from second place Francesco Bagnaia.

But what does he need to challenge th﷽e front-running Ducatis again?

“Obviously, we go to Montmelo and the expectation will be very high, but we nee🐼d to [think] conser💎vative because maybe the Ducati has improved a lot and they might also be strong in this track,” Vinales said.

“But for the rest of the tracks, 𒅌we need to check how to make this next 🉐step.

“Some tracks will be better or not. I thought this weekend should be really good but the guys were telling me maybe it's not the best for the biꦰke and a꧟t the end they were right.

“Bu💝t I tried to rid♌e the best possible and I'm happy that at least [after the top four Ducatis] I was the first one.”

Espargaro fin♋ished ninth on Sunday after losing 🥀time in tangles with Enea Bastianini and Franco Morbidelli.
