Reigning double MotoGP champion168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Francesco Bagnaia came intꦗo the COTA weekend looking for redemption after last year’s error while leading and zero points in the Portimao GP.

But he left Texas with only eighth and fifth places to show for his efforts after rღear grip issues in the Sprint were followed by chatter (vibration) problems ♍in the Grand Prix.

The factory Ducati star became sandwiched between title leader Jꦰorge Martin and eventual COTA winner Maverick Vinales at turn one, finishing the first lap in fifth.

Once again running the soft rear tyre despite his Saturday woes, after re-trying it successfully in warm-up, Bagnaia initially looked back to his best as he played a key role in early battle🗹s at the front.

But the Italian had faded to fifth by lap 9, whe𓆉re he remained. Bagnaia later revealed that chatter issues, which ღseem to have affected most GP24 riders intermittently this year, were his undoing.

“This morning I used the ty𝐆re from the Sprint race, just to put more laps on♕ a used tyre and understand if a soft could do all the race. And I think it was the correct choice,” Bagnaia began.

“My race started well, I was feeling good. I was thinking before lap 6 that I was able to fight for a win o𝄹r podium. But I started to have a lot of chattering, a lot of vibration on the left side, and it was very difficult to manage everything.

“We have to understand the situat♕ion and solve the problems, because like now it’s very difficult. The situation is very similar to 2022, when at the start of the season I had to race in ‘defence’.

“But I know perfectly - all my trust is in my team - th🅰at we will solve the problem and be fighting for the top again.”

Bagnaia is now 🌜fifth in the world championship, 30-points behind Jorge Mart🐠in.

Team-mate Enea Bastianini completed Sunday’s podium in third and leaves the USA as Martin’s nearest championsh🍸ip rival.
