168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Marc Marquez took his sixth podium in a row behind 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Francesco Bagnaia in Saturday’s Mugello MotoGP Sprint.

The Gresini Ducati rider crossed the line 1.🍰469s behind the reigning world champion for his seventh runner-up result of the season, when counting Sprints and Sunday Gra🅷nd Prix races.

It begged the question of when, having not taken a MotoGP win since his 59th and final victory for Repsol Honda at Misano 2021, Marquez🍌 will stand on the top step.

“Yeah, many second places in a row. But don't worry!” Marquez told MotoGP.com. “I mean, I hope it will a🤡rrive, but if I need to finish second in all the Sprint races from now until the end, I'll sign!

"It's true that still we miss something but the positive thing is th🤡at we are there in the top three.”

Marquez also highlighted, perhaps for the first time, that he’s going ‘bar-to-‘bar with the newer 2024 D🐠ucatis, despite riding the older GP23 model. He also warned he is now fast 'everywhere'.

“I’m super happy, especial☂ly because Mugello, like Barcelona, I come with some doubts,” he said. “But with this bike I need to forget the circuits that I was struggling [in the past]. With this bike I feel OK everywhere.

“I'm fighting there with Bagnaia, Martin again. Also, Bastianini w🐽as super fast, but had c🧸ontact with Martin. We are fighting there with the 24 bikes. So this is something that makes me proud.”

Fabio di Giannantonio was tꦉhe next best GP23 rider, in seventh place on Saturday.

A Marquez victory on Sunday would mean the #93 claꦓiming Ducati’s 93rd grand prౠix win, extending a pattern of the 27th by #27 (Casey Stoner), 63rd by #63 (Bagnaia), 72nd by #72 (Marco Bezzecchi) and 89th by #89 (Jorge Martin).

൩The eight-time world cham💝pion will be promoted from fourth to third on the starting grid by Bagnaia’s penalty, but insisted: 

“Honestly I prefer to start fourth than third because the difference is super small andౠ in fourth you are in 𒈔a better position on the brake point.”

Marquez said B🌳agnaia clearly remains the rider t🍸o beat tomorrow but also feels the other factory Ducati of Bastianini will also be in contention.

“Pecco has another pace. He's the only one that is able to keep very constant pace. He’s super fast, super constant, al⛦ways in the very precise. So it will be difficult,” Marquez said.

“Also in this race track about physical condition, it's very demanding. So let's see. I think Pecco and also Basti♛anini are the fastest guys out 🦄there.”

A crash from third place by pole qualifier and title leader Jorge Martin means both Bagnai🤪a (-27 points) and Marquez (-32 points🐷) have gained ground on the Pramac Ducati rider.

KTM's Pedro Acosta completed𝄹 the Sprint podium in thirdಌ.
