Jorge Martin furious after Portuguese MotoGP: “Not the first time - Marc Marquez keeps doing things”
Marquez crashed into the back of 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Miguel Oliveira on the third lap at Portimao, ruiniꦓng both of their races when he lost control under braking, but he also made contact with Martin within the sa♈me incident.
Pramac Racing rider Martin battled on with damage t🤡o his foot and ankle but eventually crashed out of the race.
Martin recalled Silverstone 2021 when Marquez crashed into him, and said: “It’s not the first time he has destroyed my race. Maybe in the future he can manage to avoid m♕e. Or Race Direction can do something.
“I have ne✨ver destroyed a race for him, or injured him.
“It’s already the second time✤. I hope he can improve.”
Marquez accepted blame ♉for the incident in Portimao with Oliveira a👍nd Martin, but Aleix Espargaro called for him to face a one-race ban.
He was instead punished with a double long lap penalty to be served at next weekend’s Argentina MotoGP, but he will now miss that race entirely after undergoing surgery on a hand injury sustained in the Po𒁏rtim🐓ao crash.
ꦿMartin insists that Marquez warrants a more severe punishment: “I don’t know. I don’t need to check on this. In the briefing they say: ‘If you keep doing things, you will get a stronger penalty’.
“He keeps doing things, no? He n🅰eeds a stronger penalty.
“But we know it’s Marc and they will do nothing.”
Martin assessed the manner of the incident: “Already on the first🎃 lap he was too enthusiastic because he lost the front. I was in first position, I had to pick up the bike so I didn’t crash.
“Th𝕴en, we had a small impact but I was in front so I couldn’t see.
“The second time, I received a big impact. I tried to avoid the crash. He wa🧜s too enthusiastic, for the second time in a row.
“I don’t know. You need to understand when yoꦺu have riders in front of you. You need to manage your braking. For sure, you can’t brake as if you’re alone.
“It’s the same for all the riders. He needs to improve th♏is.”
Martin revealed that, despite a broken toe and an ankle injജury, he expects to be fit to race in Argentina next weekend.
Beforౠe the key incident involving Oliveira, Martin and Marquez made earlier contact on the first lap. Martin recalled: “The first impact, I went half-a-lap without my right foot on the foot peg. I couldn’t [put my foot down].
“Eight or nine riders overtook me, I h♌ad to recꦓover.
“It’s difficult because I ⛦hadꦐ pace for the victory. We were close, without the impact.
“After the impact, he mo🌊ved my handlebar so I was riding in a difficult way. Even though I managed to do a ‘38.9, ‘39.0, I was fast, 🦂competitive.
“To beat Franc💟esco Bagnaia was the target. He had half-a-tenth more. Being behind, I thought I could take out that tenth. I thought I was stro🧜nger than [Saturday].
“I’m happy with my performanceꦯ, I was super-competitive. Pecco is the man to ꧂beat. I will focus on myself.”
