168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Marco Bezzecchi looked set to back up his Jerez MotoGP podium with a Sprint rostrum at Le Mans on Saဣturday, as he shadowed race leader Jorge Martin for the opening ten laps.

But with Marc Marquez starting to close on the duo, Bezzecchi pushed to rওespond and suddenly lost the front on entry to the Esses, with 3 laps to go.

“I felt really good, everything was under control,” said the VR46 rider, winner of last year’s French Grand Prix🐼.

“I had a great pa൲ce, Jorge (Martin) was closer an𝄹d I understood that Marc (Marquez) was coming from behind and I tried to push to open the gap a bit.

“I made a mistake at turn 9 and couldn't recover.

“I didn't brake too late, but I leaned the bike a bit earlier compared to the lap before,⛎ and doing this, the front ♛just closed.

“It wasn't necessary, a re๊al shame to have missed the podium.

“I can't be happy, but it was important to confirm our💦selves as competitive here too.

“Tomorrow, I think the pace will be different, there will also be the weather to𒁏 understand, but we can do well.”

The Italian’s exit means he is yet to score a Satu✱rday point this season but team-mate Fabio di Giannantonio - who started jus𝓰t ahead of Bezzecchi in fourth - at least broke his 2024 Sprint drought with seventh place.

But he felt much more was possible.

“In qualifying I had an excellent feeling, I felt I had a margin that I wasn't able to make the most of due to the yell𒁃ow flags. In the race however, I immediately started to have a particular feeling,” di Giannantonio said.

“It's a shame, ⛦I have struggled, we need to analyse the data and understand, our potential was certainly different. 

"Overall I finished the Sprint in the points for the first time this season and I know I have the pace to be with the best to♎morrow. We just need to und🌞erstand what the weather will do.”

Rain is forecast for Sunday.
