168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Jorge Martin saw his first chance to win the 2024 MotoGP title slip away with victory for rival 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Francesco Bagnaia in the Solidarity Barcelona MotoGP Sprint.

Martin needed to outscore Bagnaia by two-po🦩ints to secure the crown ‘early’ but instead conceded five points to his rival after a last-lap pass by the sister Lenovo Ducati of Enea Bastianini rel🐭egated Martin to third.

St♎arting fourth, Martin dived for the holeshot at Turn 1, but emerged behind the red machines after the opening cornersꦐ.

The Spaniard then went back-and-forth with Bastianini, the rider he famously clashed with on the las🌱t lap of the Misano race, before establishing himself in second.

But he couldn’t close down Bagnaia and instead fell victim to a late retaliation by Bastianini at Turn 5. The ‘unexpected’ pass left Martin shaking his head, but he later p🐲aid credit to The Beast for an ‘amazing job’.

“It was a tense Sprint. First, with the tyre choice, I was a bit nervous because they told me Pecco was with the hard frꦿont, but I didn't know if I could t🌞rust the choice or not because he did [the late change] in Malaysia.

“So finally I looked to mꦇyselꦬf and said ‘what is the best tyre you can use in the race, medium’. So I went with the medium, but for sure at the end it was a bit on the limit.  

“I started quite well but maybe I was a bit optimistic in corner one, then I saw Enea passing so it was a bit of a mess! And after th♊at I started a fight wiꦇth him. We lost a bit of time and the chance to go with the Pecco.

“I think I had the potential to go a bit faster, but I used a lot of tyre with Enea. But finally I did my best trying to control a bit the risk and I think a podium today 𝔉was really, really good job.”

The final pass by Bastianini had been “unexpected, I heard his🏅 bike from really far [behind]. I thought maybe he was crashing, so then I pulled up, just being prepared to go to the outside of the track.

“But he did an amazing job. He's doing his own battle with Marc, so I understand his battle and tomorrow will be a nice race. I hope to enjoy it and𒁃 try to understand how to be a bit more competitive.”

Martin will start the 40th and fin✨al race of the season with a 19-point lead over Bagnaia, meaning even if the reigning champion wins, Martin only needs to finish in the top nine.

“The strategy I think must be the same, to try to be on the podium,” Martin said. “I need to control a bit more th🎃e risk but today I think the battle with Enea kept me quite concentrated all.

“So this is the target, to be concentrated, to enjoy and for sure if something happens in the last lap, I have to control the risk and don't enter in a f♔ight.

“But I will do what I need to 🥀do to take this title.”

Given his points advantage, the biggest batꦡtle Martin faces on Sunday is arguably mental.

“I was quite nervous after qua⭕lifying, I didn't eat almost anything today,𓆏” he admitted. “So I was quite nervous at that point, but then I tried to sleep a little bit, have a cold shower. And for the race, I was quite calm. I was in a good moment.

“I wanted to see how my feeling was during the race and when I'm on the bike, everything is more ☂or less under control. The feeling is there. 

"The last thing that remains a bit is th𓂃e tyre choices for tomorrow. I think all of us will do the same. So just try to copy the opponents and that’s it.

“The plan is to do the same things as always tomorrow. I will tr💝y to be at my 100% and then if at the end I can manage [my points advantage], I will manage. And if not, I will push. It depends꧒ on the situation.

“For me it's♑ difficult, for Pecco it’s difficult. But if🔥 I can finally close this title, it will be really emotional.”

Sunday’s grand prix will also be Martin and the Pramac te🀅am’s last race with Dওucati.

Martin is joining Aprilia next season and looking to take the number one plate with him, while P⭕ramac is🐷 switching to Yamaha.
