Jorge Martin says he♍ would have crashed without Marc Marquez doing so in front of him in the MotoGP Thailand Grand Prix because he was able to anticipate lo𝐆sing the front.

The championship leader finished second in 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Sunday’s wet Thai GP at Buri𝐆ram while title rival Francesco Bagnaia dominated for a vital win.

Martin 𝕴led briefly in the early stages but ran wide at Turn 3 on lap five and dropped behindꦑ Bagnaia and Marc Marquez.

Marquez cr💖ashed on lap 14 at Turn 8 while running second, with Martin having his own big front end scare directly behind hi♈m.

Speaking after the race, Ma🦋rtin says he was able to save his own crash because he saw Marquez go down iജn front of him - and would have lost the lead in the championship without it.

“From the beginning I was feeling super good, but straight away I saw that the feeling the feeling wasn’t the warm-up feeling,” Martin, whose champiꦆonship lead has been cut to 17 points, began.

“I was sliding a lot from the re✅ar. I was even increasing that gap a💝nd at that point I saw they had something else.

“I went wide in corner three and Pecco and Marc overtook me. Then I tried to stay close to them because I thought about a 🌳potential move at the end of the race.

“But as soon as Marc crashed I also lost the front the same as him. But I was able 🍌to save it.

“Iꦦ went wide, I was able to save that crash and at that point I was able to control the ꦍdistance to Jack [Miller] and to Pedro [Acosta] because they were coming strong.”

He added: “I had a lot of moments during the race.𝄹 I was always re🌼ally close to crashing.

“So, I was always ready to save it. I saw Marc lose the front, so theꦆn I was preparܫed to lose the front also.

“So, that’s how I saved it. I think wi🐈thout Marc in front of me I would have crashe🍰d.

“So thanks to that… I’m sorry for him for s🐟ure, but thank🍰s to the crash I was able to understand and anticipate a bit.”

The rainfall prior to the race heaped tension on 💞the title challengers, with Martin noting that “I don’t want anybody to feel what I felt before the race: I t♊hink being Pecco or me at this stage of the championship in these conditions is not really good.”

But despite the sc♋ary race for Martin and losing out to Bagnaia, he praised 🐟his rival and felt it was “a really good weekend” only to lose three points in the standings.

“Yeah, trust me it was a really lo🦄ng race,” he said.

“The last few laps I was thinking ‘fuck, I just want it to be 𒁏dry’.

“I tꦍhou🦋ght that in dry I had something more than Pecco at the moment, so I wanted it dry.

“He was super strong. I mean, h♒e’s a great champion.

“He’s not a three-time world c♌hampion for nothing. He’s strong in all the conditions. I just tried to give his pace and just losing three points is a really good weekend.”
