After injuring his right foot when he was brutally taken out at Turn 1 of the Silverstone Sprint, 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Marco Bezzecchi was lucky to avoid another incident at the start of Sunday’s British MotoGP.

Bezzecchi had been launched from his GP23 when friend, fellow A🌄cademy member and 2025 VR46 replacement Franco Morbidelli lost control under braking and hit the back of his Desmosedici on Saturday afternoon.

“[Morbidelli] came to visit me after the session. He apologised. It’s a mistake that pissed me off of course. But what can I say? It had already happened, so I accep꧑t his apology and I'm sure he didn't do it on purpose," Bezzecchi said.

"So in the end, everything is OK."

Morbidelli r🐈eceived a double long lap penalty by the FIM Steward✤s for 'riding in an irresponsible manner, causing a crash'.

The Sunday sta🦄rt then saw Brad Binder - starting two rows ahead of Bezzecch♌i - slow to a crawl due to a clutch issue with his KTM.

“I alm♉o🤡st hit Brad who had an issue with the bike,” Bezzecchi explained. “Jack [Miller] moved at the last second and [then] I almost hit him. So I went a bit backwards.”

The evasive action cost the Italian several places and he finished thꩵe opening lap in 13th, despite Trackhouse team-mates Raul Fernandez and Miguel Oliveira crashing out ahead.

Bezzecchi then regained ground by passing Fabio Quartararo, Morbidelli, Maveri✨ck Vinales, Jack Miℱller and finally Pedro Acosta.

“During the race the pain was not too bad in the beginning with the adrenaline and ever💫ything. But in the last 6-8 laps I started to feel like less sensitivity in all the leg, but especially in the foot,” said the 2025 factory Aprilia🌊 rider.

“So it was r🐽eally tough to understand how much rear brake I was using, so this was a little bit the limit. But, apart from this, the race was good.

“The injury was painful, but I could manage. It was more t🅰he start that created a problem for me because without the [scare] with Brad probably I could have been more in front.

“I thin🔴k this was the biggest issue. The injury was not helpin🙈g but I tried to survive.”

Team-mate Fabio di Giannantonio finished in fif𒆙th place.
