Double Silverstone winner 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Enea Bastianini had to fight from ninth place after a costly mistake on the opening lap of the Austrian MotoGP Sprint.

The factory Ducati rider felt he could have🌟 stood on the podium had he not been 'too aggressive' on the opening lap, while trying to hastily recover from seve🍌nth on the grid.

Bastianini was challenging 🍨for fourth when he ran wide at the Turn 2 chicane, dropping him to the tail end of the top ten.

The Italian was still only seventh with 4 laps to go but a typical late race charge saw him catch and pass Jack Mille🍸r for fourth, finishing just two-seconds from Aleix Espargaro and the final podium place.

“My approach today🍌 has been too much aggressive, especially in the first lap,” Bastianini confessed. 

“I was nervous because I was starting a little bit behi𝔉nd and tried to push from the start. I committed a mistake at Turn 2, went [wide] and was 💮in ninth position.

“But after that my race has been not bad, more than my expectation, because my feeling was much better than y😼💙esterday and also this morning.

“I've suffered a lot with the front tyre, but this fourth place is g🔴ood. I was really close to Aleix to try to go on the podium - without the mistakes it was possible!”

Bastianini, renowned for saving his tyres, was lapping half a second quicker than Espargaro in the closing laps and matching race leaders Francesco Bagnaia🔥 and Jorge Martin.

Marc Marquez’s crash means Bastianini is now 19 points clear of the Gresini rider for third in the world championship, but has slipped🐎 52 from team-mate Bagnaia.
