Marc Marquez’s “weaker” moment during the sprint race at the Qatar MotoGP was not capitalised upon by 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Alex Marquez.

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Marc Marquez converted pole position into victory on Saturday at the Lusail circuit but not without a battle against his brother on Lap 𝔉1.

Gresini rider Alex briefly overtook b🦩ut factory Ducati star Marc reclaimed the position - it was a pivotal moment for the younger brother, he has been told.

“With Alex, that was his opportunity when Marc was a bit weaker in the first two laps,💟” TNT Sports’ Michael Laverty said.

“But he couldn’t capitalisౠe. He couldn’t make it stick🎃.

“The problem is that on the first lap you have a heavy fuel load (although ♈it was half-distance so half-fuel load).

“The bike is pushing in. You’ve got a tail wind with the ๊slipstream.

“He goes a little wide. That leaves the d🦩oor open to Marc. He should h💧ave gone back - he called it, he should have been aggressive and immediately responded.

“From there, he may have be▨en able 𝓡to hold Marc back.

“He will recalibrate and go again.”

Alex Marquez admitted: “I believe in the first laps I had more. I wanted to overtake to make aও gap, to be calm and to fight with him.

“But he was better t🔥han me, he was more brave in some parts.

“Where normally he struggles, he was super fast.”

Marc will line up on pole, with Alex second, in the grand☂ prix in Qatar on Sܫunday.

'What happened' to Pecco Bagnaia?

Pecco Bagnaia’s disastrous൲ weekend, on a circuit which was supꦿposed to suit him, continued on Saturday.

He qualified 11th after crashing, then finished꧒ the sprint in eighth.

“Unbelievable,” Sylvain Guintoli sa꧂id. “What happened?

“The last time he was on the bike he f🐬ell off in quali💫fying.

“In those circumstances, the team have to rebuild the bike or swap the bike. So maybe something wasn’t right with the feelꦆ.

“It took him too much time to get into gear.”

Bagnaia later 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:blamed his factory ꦛDucati’s fuel tank.

Hope for Jorge Martin and Fabio Quartararo?

Jorge Martin’s first sprint of the year due to injury, and his first🐷 on an Aprilia, ended in P16.

“He had to grit his teeth,” Laverty assessed. “You co🌜uld see he was having a go, riding like the old Jorge, but he couldn’t push through the pain barrier.

“He had to pull it back. But he got through it, go𒀰t some data, he was fast and matching his teammate until fatigue set in.”

Sunday’s longer𓂃 race could feature e♊xtra challengers at the front, it has been predicted.

Yamaha’s Fabio Quartararo could sustain his fight 🍒from third on the starting grid.

“The VR46 riders will think they𒉰’ve got ꧑more to give,” Laverty said.

“But it will be differe🎶nt. We expect everyone to be on the medium tyre. It’s 22 lapsꦐ.

“F🍒uel consumption and tyre consumption [are important] heꦑre. It will be a different race, it might bring Fabio Quartararo in.

“The Ducatis could blast past him bu♊t that won’t be the case, as mu🐓ch, [on Sunday]. He will have something to fight with.”
