Alex Marquez admits the two ꦯcrashes he had in Friday practice meant he went into Saturday’s sprint at the MotoGP Spanish Grand Prix “blind” in terms of set-꧅up.

The 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Gresini Ducati 🍷rider topp𝓰ed both of Friday’s practice sessions, but crashed in FP1 and then lost most of the second session to a heavy fall at Turn 5.

Still expected to be a podium threat, 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Alex Marquez jumped Pecco Bagnaia at the start of 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Saturday’s 12-lap sprint from fourth oꦬn the grid and inherited second when poleman Fabio Quartararo crashed ou⛄t on lap two.

Alex Marquez remainedꦑ in💦 second for the entirety of the sprint after that and took the chequered flag just under a second behind race winner Marc Marquez on the factory team Ducati.

Maintaining his 100% record of second-place finishes in sprints in 2025, the younger Marquez brother ಌis now 20 points off the championship lead.

He admits the latter stages of ༺the race became difficult for him as the crashes on Friday left his Gresini tea🎐m “in delay” when it comes to set-up work.

As such, Saturd♒ay’s sprint was something of a venture i🌼nto the unknown for him.

“It was not easy,” Alex Marquez said.

“Two crashes yesterday, one big one.

“But this crowd is pushing me, so I mean I just did a really good start, overtaking Pecco in🍸 that point was t🌳he key of the race.

“And later on I was not feeling r🦂eally good. I mean, we are in delay in the work.

“We just mad🎃e nearly 10 laps I think with these conditions.

“So, w🐓e started the sprint race a littleꦍ bit blind.

“So, I just tried to be really concentrated,𝔍 tryin🌃g to go to the finish.

“I hope that tomorrow we will make a step like these guys did today and we will ꦿbe able to fight a bit mor🃏e.”

The Jerez sprint proved to be a strong day for the Gresini team, with rookie Fermin Aldeguer cꦑompleting the top five on his GP25 having qualified seventh.
