168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez is keeping his 2019 COTA defeat at the forefront of his mind to avoid complacency ahead of this weekend’s MotoGP round.

The new factory Ducati r💯ider has been in dominant form, wi൲nning all four races from pole position so far this season.

Now, h💦e arrives at one of his strongest tracks, determined to maintain his♛ momentum.

COTA has historically been Marque꧅z territory, but in 2019, his perfe⛄ct record at the Texan circuit came to a dramatic halt.

On course for a seꦰventh c🍃onsecutive victory, he crashed out of a comfortable race lead.

An engine braking glitch on his Repsol Honda was rumoured to have contributed to the shock mistake, but Marquez is using the incident as a reminder to𝓰 keep fully focused this weekend.

“Obviously🌄 we’ve started the season in the best way possible,” Marquez said in Texas on꧙ Thursday.

“And the most important thing is that e🎉very praᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚctice, every session, I feel the bike, I feel the limits. I feel comfortable.

“Also super good with the team. Every time the connectio🌊n is be💦tter and better.

“But we need to keep🧸 focused, fully concentrate because for example in my best season in MotoG❀P in 2019 the only circuit where I made a mistake was here.

“So just ♒focus a♚nd try to do our best during the weekend.”

Suzuki's Alex Rins t𒁃ook victory o♔ver Valentino Rossi in the 2019 event, while Marquez had to wait until 2021 to claim his seventh COTA win.

Starting this wee🐓kend 16 points clear of younger brother Alex, Marquez added:

“I know that expectations 🐠are higher and 🅘higher for every race. And the results don't help to calm expectations!

“So for that reason I [mentioned] 2019, because it was the o⛎nly circ🍬uit where I did a mistake.

ꦜ“I try to think in ൲a negative way to avoid that extra confidence that can create a situation that we don't like.

“So let's see how we s💟tart, let's see where are the opponents and from that point try tꩲo do our best.”

Bad weather could p𒐪rovide an extra element of unpredictability with rain forecast 🍨for Friday morning’s opening practice.
