Marc Marquez may have lost out to Andrea Dovizioso by just 0.023s in Sunday's Qatar M🍬otoGP, but the Repsol Honda rider didn't want to dwell on the possibility of being handed victory by a post-race protest.
Speaking before the protest against the wing on Ducati's swingarm had been rejected by the FIM Stewards, but168澳洲5最新开奖结果: later referred to the MotoGP 🧸Court of Appeals, Marquez said:
"I ju💧st tried to do my 100 percent on the track. Today there was one 𒉰rider faster than me and it was Dovizioso. So he beat me."
The protest ov♈er the wing was made against the GP19 machines of Dovizioso, team-mate Danilo Petrucci (sixth) and Pramac's Jack Miller (DNF) by the factory Aprilia, KTM, Honda and Suzuki teams.
Dovizioso hadn't had time to try the new aerody𓆏namic parts until Sunday in Qatar and, straight after the race, said𝕴 he couldn't feel any difference when using the rear wing and a further aero tweak on the front wheel.
It had been thought that the swingarm device directed air onto the rear tyre to help prevent overheating of tౠhe rubber, but this was denied🍃 on Saturday by Petrucci, who nonetheless said he couldn't reveal the real purpose.

"I can’t tell you because 🎃Gigi gets angry," Petrucci said. "We saw on television that they said it was to cool down the rear ty🥂re, but in fact that is not the real reason.
"There is also another [aero] part on the front. I asked what is its purpose, but෴ unfortunately I cannot te💫ll you as it is my contract.
"There are som♊e small changes riding th🐼e bike but not as big as we expected."
Meanwhile, Marquez also didn't want to blame his heali🎉ng shoulder for the💎 final-turn defeat.
"No [it didn't limit me]," he said. "For the p🦩hysical condition, the race was easy because the pace was very slow in the beginning🐼. For me it was much better, also for the tyres.
"With the shoulder, you feel like t✨he musc𝐆les are working in a different way, but for riding style, it's okay."
Another piece of 🧸Ducati tech, the holeshot device, was also used on Sunday.
"Yes… It was good, but maybe forও Jack even better," said Dovizioso, as the pair rocketed to first and second at turn💯 one.
The horizontal lines o🎐n the barrier clearly show the rear of the bike squat down when the holeshot device is activated.
