168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Fabio di Giannantonio matched his season-best result with fourth place in the Australian MotoGP, his penultimate event before heading 🍨for shoulder surgery.

The VR46 rider hailed Phillip Island as perhapsღ his best race of the year.

Ho🦄wever, he couldn’t help wondering if the 2.8s gap to Francesco Bagnaia and a podium might have been bridged with better qualifying and more suitable engine maps.

Fortunate to avoid injury when h🥃e was struck by debris from team-mate Marco Bezzecchi’s Saturday clash with Maverick Vinales, Diggia rose from twelfth on the grid to ninth on the opening lap ♛of the grand prix.

The Italian then spent much of the race embroiled in a big battle with Enea Bastianini, Maveric⭕ওk Vinales and Brad Binder.

𝕴Once he had switcheꦡd back to his original engine map, di Giannantonio charged past all of them, setting his best lap of the race on the penultimate lap.

But Bagnaia and a podium remained out of reach.

“I'm super happy [but] honestly, a bittersweet feeling,” said di Giannantonio, who was 12.997s behind fellow GP23 rider and race winner Marc Ma𒀰rquez.

“Because 🌺I've done an amazing race, maybe our best race of the year so far, but with a better position on the grid, m🧜aybe we could fight Pecco for the podium, because the pace was not that different.

“Yesterday too, I felt that I had the rhythm and the level to do 🌺a good job. So really happy. But also, I really wanted a trophy.

“I go home without a trophy, 𓂃I'm angry🃏 about that!”

Explaining what happened wiꩲth the engine maps, d🎐i Giannantonio said:

“We planned to use all the maps that we 🐈had, but when I switched to t𓂃he other maps, the bike was just going slower. It was not necessary to switch maps.

“So once I came back in the right map,꧋ the bike was working well again, and I was able to make my rhythm, which I knew I could do.

“So at the end, I was really, really fast.

“Also for that, maybe without changi𓃲ng maps, I could be mu꧟ch faster and maybe try to catch Pecco at the end.

“But we have to be happy. We have to see all the positives, that after the injury we made our best performance of the year, so it m🌌eans tha༺t we are back in the top level, even if the shoulder is not 100%.”

“I൩t's true that it wi𝓀ll not be a full GP25 bike [at the Valencia test], but it's a pity that I cannot try the new bike,” di Giannantonio said.

“A pity ♌also to not do the next races, because when you do this kind of performance you don't 🅰want to stop.

“But also youౠ have to be clever and you ha🐈ve to accept what the future holds for us.”

Team-mate Bezzecchi wasꦅ second in the early stages, dropped to seventh after a long lap penalty, then spent the rest of the race in last pla꧑ce after remounting from a fall.

di Giannantonio♈ is pr🌊esently ninth in the standings, two places and 16 points ahead of Bezzecchi.

After surgery, the Qatar 2൲023 winner will make his MotoGP comeback at next year's Sepang pre-season test.

VR46 is yet to announce di Giannantonio's replacement for the last two r𒁏ounds, with WorldSBK names such as Andrea Iannone, Danilo Petrucci and Nicola Bulega as well as Ducati test rider Michele Pirro among the list of rumoured candidates.
