Aprilia's 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Maverick Vinales escapes for a second Sprint victory in a row, on Saturday at the Americas MotoGP, as 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Marc Marquez and 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Jorge Martin complete the podium.

Pole qualifier Vinales held his advantage at Turn 1 then, after several lapsಌ being shadowed by Marc Marquez and Pedro Acosta, suddenly blasted clear of the six-ti🌠me MotoGP champion.

While the Aprilia star disappeared Marquez, Acos🎶ta and Jorge Martin bickered over best of the rest.

Having salvaged a second ro♔w start following two falls in🐓 qualifying, title leader Martin muscled past Acosta for third place just after the halfway stage.

But Marquez, whose position🌱 had looked vulnerable with some earlier out-of-shape moments, responded to pull clear of the Pramac rider and secure second.

Reigning double champion Francesco Bagnaia had a late front fender change on the grid, then wheelied off the line and plummeted from fourth to tenth at♌ Turn 1.

The factory Ducati star struggled to make an im🗹pression for the rest of the Sprint and glanced at his rear tyre after finishing the race in eighth.

Vinales’ team-mate🗹 Aleix Espargaro caught Acosta in the closing laps but couldn’t quite attack.

Enea Bastianini and Jack Miller swapped sixth place in the closing s✱tages as they finished ahead of Bagnaia, Raul Fernandez, F🦩ranco Morbidelli, Miguel Oliveira and Brad Binder, who fought from 17th after a qualifying fall.

꧃Bastianini has now taken second in the standings away from Bi𒉰nder.

Fabio Quartarar♕o was the top Yamaha in 15th, one place ahead of team-mate and 2023🌳 Grand Prix winner Alex Rins.

Honda’s ni🦹ghtmare weekend continued with Luca Marini the only RC213V to☂ reach the flag, in last place.

Fabio di Giannantonio was forced out by a technical problem on the opening lap, which also saw contact between VR46 team-mate Marco Bezzecch🌳i and Alex Marquez.

The others on the DNF list were fallers.

All riders chose the medium front and soft rear tyre co🙈mbination, but the medium rear might be an option for Sund✨ay’s full-length race.

The unstable COTA sub♐soil means there has again been a partial resurfacing ahead of this year’s MotoGP event, with new asphalt at tuඣrns 2, 9-11, 12 and 16-19.

Revised tyre pressure rules for 2024 mea♋n riders must now stay above a lower front minimum of 1.8 bar (instead of 1.88) for 60% (instead of 50%) of a Grand Prix distance, or 30% of a Sprint.

The penalty for failing to meet this minimum in a Grand Prix wiꦗll be a 16-second post-race time penalty, or an 8-second penalty for a Sprint/short race.
