168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fabio Di Giannantonio says he pulled out of the MotoGP Thai Grand Prix sprint because his 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:VR46 Ducati was “burning” him.

The VR46 rider has hadꦫ limited time on his Ducati this winter due to a shoulder injury, but was cleared to take part in this weekend’s season-opener at Buri🧸ram.

Unable to make it out🔥 of Q1, Di Giannantonio was in the hunt for points but pulled out of the sprint on lap 11 of 13.

He says extreme heat from the bike meant it was “burninඣg” him, with Di Giannantonio describing it as “hell” from lap one.

ꦚ“What happened, the bike was burning - completely burning,” he began.

“I got bu💝rned on the hands, on the legs, on the neck, completely burned - like never before. This is one of the coolest bikes.

“Even yesterday mo꧟rning I had this kind of sitꦅuation. We know that it’s not a technical issue.

“The bike was working well, everything was fine. It’s not an issue, but we have to understand why I’m the only rider that is burཧning themselves.

“Other ri𝔍ders co♔mplained that it was hot and sometimes the front lever is hot.

“But today it was not pos🦂sible to ride. On the straight I was not in the fairing, my l🐼egs were open, open arms, and when I was braking I was putting away both my feet.

“I was🍬 just removing everything from the bike because it was completely bur♎ning.

“Also yesterday morning. We improved it, but in t𝔉he race fro🌞m the first lap it was hell.

“And honestly I got a little scared because it was a little too much. So, when you are riding you start to think the worst thing - like a fire or something. It was reall𓆏y burning.”

He added: “It 🍃was too muc🌠h. I wanted to continue, then I got a almost a highside before the last corner.

“So, I said ‘Ok, I’m out of the points, I don💦’t know what’s happening, the bike is burning, I’m risking a lot, ꧅the shoulder is feeling [sore].

“So, that’s it, I can’t do anymore so let’s save some laps💙 for the race’.”

A number of riders have commented on the heat they have bꦦeen facing in Thailand this week, with several noting that they’ve never experienced anyt🌱hing like it.

But Di Giannantonio is confident his team will be able to rectify the problem for Sunday’s grand prix and he will be able t😼o complete the full distance.

“I’m really confident about the team⛎ and I’m confide𓆉nt we will fix it,” he said.

“We have to find a way to fix it, so I don’t want to think about no♉t racing because also my collea🦩gues in the same brand were doing the race without this big issue.

“But today is a pꦯity because we lost a little opportunity toඣday even with the injury.

“Now,﷽ with the team, with Dainese we are talking to find a solution together.

“We cannot remove p🎀rotection and we have to understand how we improve this situation. Like this, it’s really critical. It’s really on the limit for a person.”
