Luca Marini secured h🐟is first points in MotoGP last time out at Portimao with a 12th pl💎ace finish. 

The 2020 Moto2 runner-up was co🌳mpetitive throughout the weekend, spending most of the early race laps i🔯nside the top ten, before slowly sliding down the field having started in eighth position. 

Still, the 12th place finish was a big improvement in regards to the double header in Qatar where he ওfinished 16th and 18th. 

With Jerez being a short and t꧋ight layout, qualifying high up on the grid will be crucial. This was perhaps the biggest step forward that Marini made in Portugal, which could be a good sign come Sunday afternoon.

“We arrived in Jerez af🐻ter a good weekend in Port🎃imao. We start with historical European circuits that all the riders know very well from other categories,” added Marini.  

“I am very curious to race on this track with the MotoGP: compared to Portugal and Qatar, as it is shorter 𒆙so it will b🦂e more difficult to reach the pace. 

“We will start with the work done in Portimao, toꦓ try to achieve the positive feelings that I had there, and to achiev💃e the best results in the race.”

Like his team-mate Enea Bastianini, ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚMarini will be buoyed by last year’s Moto2 results at the Andalusian based circuit, as he took a victory and second place in boꦆth races. 

Marini currently sits 18th in the championship♎ standings which is last of the rookies, however, the 23 year-old is one spot ahead of his half-brother and nine-time World Champion Valentino Rossi, which will no doubt be an inte🧔resting topic of discussion at the VR46 training ranch.
