Fabio di Giannantonio: “Dangerous” move by Alex Marquez, “destroyed my race”
Fabio💟 di Giannantonio’s Qatar MotoGP podium paceℱ undone by contact, penalty and a scary incident with fallen champion Jorge Martin.
An “eventful” Qatar MotoGP saw 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Fabio di Giannantonio sent spearing off-track after contact from Alex Marquez, receive a penalty for a clash with Joan Mir and clip 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Jorge Martin when the world champion fell in front of him.
The VR46 Ducati rider got off to a flying start and immediately began mixing๊ it with the front group.
But things unravelled when 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Alex Marquez made contact in an൩ aggressive attempt to retake third, sending Diggia spearing off-track and down to 21st. Marquez was later handed a long lap penalty for irresponsible riding.
“An eventful rac🌳e. My start was really good, I was there fighting for the top, because today ✤I had the pace to make a podium,” said the VR46 rider.
“Then ꧑a strange manoeuvre by Alex. A dangerous manoeuvre by Alex.
“It’s a pity because I think that a mistake like this is not great in our level of riders in this championship. It’s a bit on the limit, especially for the penalty that we r🌄eceive in case of [making] these mistakes.
“I think that we have to work for the future this because at the end, the rider that's completely destroyed my 🔴race finished in 7th [6th after a penalty for Maverick Vinales] and I lost any chance of doing a good race.”
Di Giannantonio’s comeback was briefly halted again when he was penalised for contact with 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Joan Mir and told to surrender a position.
A much bigger scare followed when Martin, whose lap times were dropping off as he entered uncharted second-half race territory on꧂ his return from injury, crashed just in front of Diggia on the exit of 🦄Turn 12.
The Italian had no chance to avoid Martin as he slid down the track and rode the rest of the grand prix worrying about the Spaniard’s condition. Martin w🎀as subsequently diagnosed with eleven fractures to his ribs.
“We had the potential to make a podium, if you look at my pace, it was amazing. But most of 🌸all, I'm so happy that Jorge Martin seems [relatively] OK,” he said.
“This is the most impor🌌tant thing because I know how dangerous this sport is. He knows. Everybody knows. And to havꦡe him OK today is a great thing.”
While di Giannantonio eventually finished out of the points in 16th, team-mate Franco Morbidelli was promoted to a podium by a post-race penalty for Maverick Vinaﷺles.
Peter h🙈as been in the paddock for 20 years and has seen Valentino Rossi come and go. He is at the forefront of the Suzuki exit story and Marc Marquez’s injury issues.
