168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Francesco Bagnaia’s collision with 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Marc Marquez at the Portuguese MotoGP “could have been avoided” - but experts agree that it ♕was only ⛄a racing incident.

Stewards investigated Sunday’s clash which wiped reigning champion Bagnaia out of the Portimao grand prix but deemed it to be a racingജ incident.

Marquez, whose hopes of a P5 finish were extinguished and who was forced to limp home in 16th, agreed that no punishment was warranted although he insisted Bagnaia⛄ was “at the limi﷽t” of an acceptable move.

TNT Sportsꦉ’ Michael Laverty analysed it: “We’d just witnessed the moment where Pedro Acosta went through, then protected his line.

“Pecco wanted to cut back under Marc. There wasn’t quite enough ro🦂om🎃.

“T🧸hese bikes are quite fat ✨with the wings on the front.

“The cut back was on. He stayed down inside. He sort of🍬 squirts it into the side of M𝓀arc.

“It’s a racing incident that coul⛦d have been avoided.

“I🅷t weighs heavily into being Pecco who caused the inꦫcident that took both riders down.

“There was a slight doo🅘r open. He should have been more cautious, if you want to keep upright.

“Obviously it will run and run…

“It was certainly👍 [Pecco’s] fault that they both ended up on the dꦫeck.”

Marquez ꧋had claimed: “It was a mistake because we were fighting for 5th, 6th position. Two more points, two less.”

Bagnaia insisted his manoeuvre “wasn’t risky”.

The big beneficiary oಞf the dramati☂c moment was Jorge Martin, who won the Portuguese MotoGP while watching two title rivals plummet out of the points.

Laverty said about Pramac’s Martin: “He got the start, got his head down, worked his tyre hard to get a gap, t𝓀hen controlled it.

“His pacඣe was metronomic. He was chased all the way, he never had a moment to relax.

“That’s what Martin is꧋ capable of. It’s weird - he’s been the sprint king, now he’s the 💦feature race king. While Pecco looked like the man in the sprint yesterday.

“The GP24 Ducatis threw a curveball in.”

Sylvainꦅ Guღintoli added: “It’s good for him to break Pecco’s dominance on a Sunday.

“Martin was comfortable with the medium tyre. He took his confidence into the race. He was aggressive, led all the w🐽ay.

“He’s definitely going to take the fig✨ht to Pecco for the championship.”

Laverty said 🃏about Pramac Ducati: “They are obviously ready to fight for the championship.

“With the mistakes from Pecco, that was exceptional from Martin to take the bull by the horns and really take 🔜control of ꦿthe race. A dominant display.”

Mar🦩tin ends the second round of the 2024 season leading the MotoGP standingsℱ.
