168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Francesco Bagnaia stuck to his strategy in the Spanish MotoGP to out-duel 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Marc Marquez and secure his second grand prix win of 2024.

Ba🐻gnaia, who made a stunning double overtake on Marco Bezzecchi and Jorg✤e Martin on the outside of turn six [lap one], then took the lead from Marquez before the opening lap was over. 

The world champion then made a mistake at turn 13 on lap two, giving title rival Jorge Martin the lead, however, Bagnaia was superb from that point 🎉forward.

Despite being slower than Marquez late on, Bagnaia used si🌜milar tactics to Aragon 2021 when he snapped back at Marquez every time the Gresini rider made an attempt to take the lead.

Discussing his strategy, Bagnaia 💛said: “When I saw that Marc was behind I pushed for two laps and I did 37.8s, but I saw that he was gaining.

“So I thought to not stress too much the ⛦tyres in that moment because he was catching. I j♛ust tried to have a bit more tyre for the last three laps.

“As soon as he made the second at꧋tempt at corner nine I tried to push again from that moment. And the 37.4s arrived. It helped a lot to grow a bit of a gap in the last lap.”

Bag🥀naia, who has already crashed out of a race this season (Portimao) following contact with Marquez, was in no mood to back down as the pair collided again at turn ten in Jerez.

That came one day after Bagnaia was taken down during♚ a collision with Brad Binder and Bezzecchi.

Other acc🐟idents took place during the grand prix, but Bagnaia does not believe racing is too aggressive in MotoGP.

Asked if he’s comfortable ꧒with how close racing is at the mome💃nt, Bagnaia said: “Yes because what happened yesterday wasn’t what happened in Portimao. Sometimes the battles are more intense. 

“We canꦗ have con🐓tact because it is harder to have a normal overtake right now because everyone is very strong under braking.

“It is easy to brake hard li🥂ke this and the guy who 🧸is on the inside is going wider, so you have to try to close the line. It is something that can happen right now.”

The cavea🔯t to that being respect should always be given, as Bagnaia believes that’s fundamental to providing good racing.&nbs🦩p; 

Fo꧋r me, respect is always the most important thing,” added the world champion. “When there is respect there is a 🌟show and fun.

“Without respect it is impossible to have a nice battle and to e🤡njoy it.”
