168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Marc Marquez entered the Austrian MotoGP with strong hopes of a podium finish after showing strong pace in S🅰aturday’s Sprint, but they were gone after only a few hundred metres.

The problems for Marquez began as he pulled up to the grid, as his front ride🥃 holeshot device didn’t engage as he braked to pull up to his grid slot. 

ꦜWith little time before stopping in his third-place grid position and the lights going out, Marquez was unable to♐ sort out his start device before the lights went out, and he had to start without it.

It meant that Marquez was at a huge disadvantage off the line than his rivꦯals, and 🌺he fell backwards off the line. 

Contact then with Franco Morbidelli as they braked for the first turn sent both of th𒁃em into the turn one run-off area. Marquez rejoined the track in 14th place, from where he recovered to fourth 🌟by the end. 

As the only rider lapping in the mid-1:30s in the closing stages of the race,♍ with the exception of eventual winne🌳r Francesco Bagnaia, it’s arguable that Marquez lost out on a chance to fight for victory against Bagnaia due to his issues at the start.

MotoGP.com pit lane reporter Simon Crafar explained: “When you pull up to the line before the start, you have to use the brake🐈s 🅰hard, that’s why you see them stoppie [to] engage the front device. Marc’s was not engaged.”

It was the moment when Marquez pulled up 🦩to the grid, before the race had actually started, that he lost the race in Austria.

ဣ“He [Marquez] lost the race,” said Alex Lowes on TNT Sports. “It was a shame. As soon as I saw his bike was not ready, his device was not activated, his race was over.

“Five or si🌜x good passes from Marc shows that he would’ve been in a battle with the second group. He would have been in a ba༒ttle with Bastianini for the podium.

“It’s good to see from Marc but the race was over in the first 10 💮seconds for him.

“You saw how disappointed he was because it was a 🅰chance 🥂to be on the podium.

Michael Laverty explained the difficulty with starti▨ng a modern MotoGP bike without the start device.

“It’s like riding a road bike ofꦛf the line. It’s going to take tꦛhree seconds to 100km/h,” Laverty told TNT Sports. 

“𓆉The rest are going one second faster in that few ♐hundred metres.

“The game was over for him. He was lucky to stay on. For most riders the contact from behind [with Morbidelli] would be enough to [take a] hand off the handlebars. But he was quite strong and sturdy, in this instance🐠.

“He had to fight back. He dug deep. He may have had a podium on the cards today but the game was🌳 over when he lined up, and the launch device didn’t engage.”
