168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Francesco Bagnaia saw his title defence take another small hit as he lost out on victory at the French MotoGP.

Bagnaia led most of the race before losing the lead to Jorge Martin on lap 2𓆉🗹1 of 27.

A lap earlier, Bagnaia produced anothe💟r masterclass in defence as he allowed Martin to g🥂o into turn two ahead, knowing the Pramac rider would go wide before completing a cutback.

But Martin made no such error in his second attempt at thಞe same corner, which was the last change of lead.

Ba🍬gnaia stayed close to Martin, however, instead of going forw💙ard Bagnaia then lost the second to Marquez on the final lap.

“I was trying to do the maximum but we must consider the weekend in a🍰 positive way,” said Bagnaia post-race.

“Friday wen𓂃t in a perfec💛t way and then there was a little issue in the sprint which didn’t allow us to finish the race.

“Today, these two were just faster. I tried to do the maximum but in hte last few lap🥃s I struggled to have something more which was the opposite to Jerez.

“But in any case we improved a bit in this track. Last year I crashed an🤡d two years ago I crashed, so it was important to finish the race and we did it in a fast way. 

“Happy about it but with a thirꦺd position I can never really be satisfied. Let's move on to Barcelona and try to improve a bit.”

Once M🧸artin overtook Bagnaia it looked as though the championship leader was going to pull away.

But Bagnaia was extreme🌜ly quick in sectors one and two which allowed him to stay close, even though he admitted he didn’t have the🍨 pace needed overall.

“I was 💞really strong in♉ sector one and two, Sector two a lot,” added the reigning world champion.

“Corner seven I was quite strong but then I was losing a💝 lot in the braking for corner nine. I saw that behind Jorge he was able to open the gap.

“It was really strange and I didn’t have the feeling to brake hard and put more speed in th🎶is corner but we will see why.

“𒆙Also, ✨Marc [Marquez] overtook me there. I was thinking that I was braking hard but I wasn’t able to stop the bike and use the front brake.

“Then he pa🧸ssed me. I think it💟 was just that they were faster.”
