Double Silverstone winner 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Enea Bastianini had to fight from ninth place after a costly mistake on the opening lap of the Austrian MotoGP Sprint.

The faཧctory Ducati rider felt he could have stood on the podium had he not been 'too aggressive' on the opening lap, while trying to hastily recover from seventh on the grid.

Bastianini was challenging for fourth when he ran wide at the Tur💫n 2 chicane, ꦆdropping him to the tail end of the top ten.

The Italian was still only seventh with 4 laღps to go ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚbut a typical late race charge saw him catch and pass Jack Miller for fourth, finishing just two-seconds from Aleix Espargaro and the final podium place.

“My approachꦡ today has been too much aggressive, especially in the first﷽ lap,” Bastianini confessed. 

“I was nervous because I was starting a little bit behind and tried to push from the start. I c🍒ommitted a mistake at Turn 2, went [wide] and was in ninth position.

“But afte🎀r that my race has been not bad, more than my expectation, because my feeling was much better than yesᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚterday and also this morning.

“I've suffﷺered a lot with the front tyre, but this fourth place is good. I was really close to Aleix♊ to try to go on the podium - without the mistakes it was possible!”

Bastianini, renowned for saving his tyres, was lapping half a second quicker than Espargaro in the closing laps and matching race l𒈔eaders Francesco Bagnaia and Jorge Martin.

Marc Marquez’s crash means Bastianini is now 19 points clear of the Gresini rider for third in the world championship♔, but has slipped 52 from team-mate Bagnaia.
