After the illusion of a front-row start in qualifying, it was back down to earth for 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Marc Marquez in the Solidarity Barcelona MotoGP Sprint.

Struggling to feel comfortable on his final Gresini appearance, the eight-time world cha💝mpion warned on Friday that a top five looked like his best-case𓄧 scenario.

A tow from reigning champion and future team-mate Francesco Bagnaia put Mar🐷quez 🍃onto the front row in qualifying, a result he admitted was ‘not real’.

But ജcontact with Pedro Acosta in the opening turns of the Sprint left Marquez in seventh, where he finished.

Even without that tangle, Ma𓆏rquez felt he couldn’t haveᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚ done much more.

“After qualifying I was a bit more optimistic, but then in the Sp🔯rint race, with that tricky first lap, we came back to our position,” said Marquez, who ruled out any bike damage from the contact.

“We have the pace to be from 5th to 10th and we were in 7th position. Honestly speaking without that first lap, our position w�ꦕ�as 6th, not better.

“So for tomorrow we need to improve, if not the race will be sup🍸er long.”

He added: “I'm fighting, not against the bike, b﷽ut against the circuit.

“In May the feeling was not bad. I could feel the li🃏mit of the track, but this weekend, I start in the opposite way. Step by step I try to be more competitive, but I'm struggling.”

Marquez's woes mean he has lost third in the world championship to Enea Bastianini by five points heꦚading into the final grand pr💯ix.

Bastianini finished second, between Bagnaia and Jorge Maඣrtin, in the Sprint.

Quizzed on Sunday’s title decider, which will see Martiꦅn need only a ninth place if Bagnaia wins, Marquez said:

“I think P9 for Jorge is easy, but racing is ra🉐c꧒ing.”

And his advice?

“P🅰ecco needs to do what he did today… And Jorge needs to do what he did today!” Marquez laughed.
