Alex Marquez “didn't understand what happened with Marc”, “my mistake” with Diggia
Alex Marquez admits fault after Qatar contact ends MotoGP podium strea🍃k.
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Alex Marquez's impressive streak of seven runner-up finishes came to an end in a messy Qatar MotoGP, where th🅘e 🌼Gresini rider was involved in two early-race clashes.
The first was with none other than brother Marc, but the costliest occurred with F🐟abio di Giannantonio, result🥀ing in a long lap penalty.
Alex tangled with race leader Marc on🐎 the exit of Turn 1 and was initially confused about why he ran into the side of the Ducati Lenovo bike.
“I did a really good start, but I just didn't underst💛and what happened with Marc in the first corner, because he had already opened the gas,” Ale𒈔x said.
“I sawᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚ also that Franco was overtaking on the outside. So I was said ‘OK, we go’ and then I felt that smal♕l contact.
“But when I spoke with Marc [after] he said he closed the gas because he had a moment, losing a bit the rear. But nothing happened in the co🦂ntact.”
But it was the incident with di Giannantonio that 🌸carried far more serious consequences. After being passed at Turn 10, Alex tried to immediately retaliate.
“I tried to attack [back] on Turn 12 but it was not the moment, not the place. I completely made a mistake in that point. I want to say sorry to him and his team,” he admitted. “It😼 was a long lap, which I accept. It's fair.”
“Speed there even with half wings”
After seꦡrving the penalty, Marquez 𒁃dropped to 12th but battled back to seventh at the flag, which became sixth due to Maverick Vinales’ tyre penalty.
“The bike was a li👍ttle bit damaged on the aerodynamic side, but I was able also to make a good speed. It's my mistake and we need to learn for the future.”
Marquez set thꦡe fifth fastest lap of the race and found an unlikel🌄y advantage in the damage: “I was overtaking everybody [out of the final corner], the bike in that moment was like flying!
“It's true that in some brake points and in 🦩some fast corners, the feeling was not really right, but I did 1'52.8 [on lap 15 of 22] so the bike was not bad.
“The speed was there even with half wings and🐎 thౠat’s what we need to take to Jerez.”
Alex, who had🐼 been leading the world championship heading into Qatar, returns to Europe 17 points behind Marc and 9 ahead of Francesco Bagnaia.
Pete🐼r 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.
