Fabio di Giannantonio: “Good battle with Marc”, Bezzecchi “didn't need a double crash”
Fabio di Giannantonio hails his "best weekend" as a VR46 rider, but Marco Bezzecchi leaves Le Mans with zero🌜 points after falling in both races.
By the midway stage of the French MotoGP, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fabio di Giannantonio was holding a podium place behind only the factory Ducatis of Francesco Bagnaia and Jorge M🦩artin.
di Giannantonio had also set what would be the second fastest lap of the race, but was 😼now starting to come under pressure from fellow GP🗹23 rider Marc Marquez.
After holding off Marquez for four laps, the Italian was forced to yield to the eight-time world champion𒊎, 🧔then received a long lap penalty for cutting the first chicane during his defence.
Ultimately, the time l𓄧ost didn’t alter his finishing position of sixth - with Maverick Vinales five-seconds ahead - as di Giannantonio matched his bes💙t result so far as a VR46 rider.
“I'm super happy, the best weekend so far with the team,” di Giannantonio said. “After the warm up, I felt really goo🥀d, the sensations while riding were excellent.
“I got off to a great start, I was in a battle with Aleix [Espargaro] and I knew I had a good pace. At the end I have struggled a bit with🎐 the rear tyre, the bike was shaking a lot and I had to raise the pace a bit.
“The others came from behind, I tried to hold the position. A pity for the long lapꦆ, but I'm happy. We had a good race and a good battle with Marc [Marquez]. Let's sort out the last details and fight with the strongest guys in Catalunya.”
di Giannantonio’s delight was in stark contrast to team-mate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marco Bezzecchi. The 2022 Le Ma✤ns winner left France with zero points after crashing in both the Sprint (while in a podium place) and then Sunday race.
“It's a shame, we didn't need a double crash because we were very competitive,” Bezzecchi said. “At the touch of gas, I lost the front. It's a kind of feeling that I've had since the beginning of the season and that we need🌌 to work o🐠n.
“ꦑI don't think I could have stay🐈ed with Jorge [Martin] and Pecco [Bagnaia], but perhaps with Enea [Bastianini] and Maverick [Viñales] yes.
“I was fighting with Enea when in an over♛taking, I couldn't do anything to avoid the crash.
“The riding sensations were good, the bike wheeling a lot at the start, but perhaps the top 5 was possible. Let's anal𒐪yse all the data and try again in Barcelona.”
di Giannantonio’s 13 points this week꧑e♚nd have moved him ahead of Bezzecchi for ninth in the world championship.
Peter has 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.
