168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Marc Marquez admitted that "too much confidence" was behind his crash from third place in the early stages of Sunday’s Spanish MotoGP at Jerez.

The Sprint race winner and home crowd favourite looked poised for a double victory, but after being held at bay by pole man Fabio Quartꦆararo and Ducati team-mate Francesco Bagnaia, Marquez overstepped the limit at Turn 8 on lap three.

Despite rejoining at the back of the field with🧸 a damaged bike, the eight-time world champion recovered to finish 12th and set his fastest lap of the race on lap 18 of 25.

Speaking ꦆafter topping Monday’s official Jerez test, Marquez reflected on the mistake:

"Yesterday was a crash that I was able to… Thinking well, it was one that I need to avoid. Because I went in too fast. And I realised that I was too fast. But in terms of being a bit wide, I tried to keep the lineꩵ.

"Because o🔯n those left corners, I feel super good. It was the first crash of the season in a left corner.

“So I 📖believed in myself and I said ‘OK, I will stay’ [on line]. But it was not possible, but to🌜o much confidence. I need to be more careful in the future.”

Marquez's early-season crash tally is dramatically lower than in 2024 - three falls in five rounds compared to seven last year - but two of those have been at the worst possible moment, during Su🎐nday grand prix races in COTA and now Jerez.

The other fall was a fast practice hig⛎𒁏hside in the wet at COTA.

"It's super strange because it's the year that I'm crashing less [but] two times on the Sunday," he said. "The bike is working super good because as we see wit💜hout the wings, without everything, again I was ridi🅺ng well.

"But i🗹f I want to fight for the championship﷽, I need to learn about these mistakes."

Marquez - who has won all eight races he has remained upright in this season - now sits second in the 2025 MotoGP world championship, one point behind brothe𒉰r and Spanish GP winner Alex Marquez, heading into the French Grand Prix at Le Mans on May 9-11.
