Marco Bezzecchi stuck up for Fabio Quartararo after crash at Spanish MotoGP: “Nothing crazy, we all fight”
Quartararo was stuck between Bezzecchi and 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Miguel Oliveira - he made contact with the Italian, bef🤪ore wiping the Portug🍌uese out of the race.
Quartararo was hit with a long lap penalty for the Turn 2 inc꧑ident, which he insists was unfair, and he has now received 🔥the backing of Bezzecchi.
“From ✅my side, I felt somebody hit me,” the Mooney VR46 rider said. “No♌thing crazy, but I felt it.
“The reason? I don’t know.
“It’s difficult to know specific reasons.
“Everyone 🉐fights for the same, we all want to win, so we all fight for it.
“The first four laps are very, very imporꩲtant. The first four cor🐻ners are key for the race.
“For example, on the second🗹 start, I was a little more careful. But I compl⛦etely destroyed the race.
“It’s normalꦜ to sometimes have these kin🍷ds of crashes.”
Bezzecchi insisted ﷺhe was never in danger of falling due to Quartararo: “I felt something but nothing crazy.”
Bot🅘h of the races in Jerez this weekend produced a red flag. Oliveira was left with a dislocated shoulder from the incident involving Quartararo and Bezzecchi.
“Too aggressive? 🍬For m🐽e, it was a situation that was difficult to avoid,” Bezzecchi said about Quartararo.
“The only🍷 thing he could do was to 🦹brake a little bit earlier.
“Because he was in the middle ofꦉ me and Miguel, from what I saw.
“But I didn’t have time to look.
“Maybe braking a litt𝐆le bit♉ earlier. But it’s difficult. The space is not so much.
“It’s a mistake that can happen. I don’t want to say anything [bad] about Fa🌳bio.
“There are some track🧸s which are more difficult than others. In 💟Texas, no problem.
“Here, the first corner can be done in many ways. On Saturday I we♎nt wide I gained four or five positions.
“The pack can be wider here.
💝“From my side, it’s difficult to judge. I prefer to ride.”
Bezzecchi entered the fourth round of the championship🌠 leading the MotoGP standings, having won his first grand prix in Argentina, also the first win for the Mooney VR46 team.
Valentino Rossi was even in Jerez to oversee♒ the graduates from his academy and the te꧅am that bears his name.
But a costly fall later in the Spanish MotoGP meant that Bezzecc꧑hi surrendered his lead in the championship to Francesco Bagnaia, the reig🐻ning champion and a fellow VR46 Academy graduate, who won the race.
“It was a mistake that I made,” Bezzecchi reflected on the end of his race. 🍷“I braked straight. I leaned earlier than the lap before.
“I lost the front.
“I was finally feeling bett🐎er because I passed Alex Marquez, which I’d spent the race [trying to do].
“As soon as I fina𝓰lly pass him, I made my best lap. I wꦆanted to close the gap to escape from him.
“And I made a small mistake, unfortunately.”
