168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez admitted he stopped pushing for the podium at the Qatar MotoGP due to concerns about his front tyre.

On his Ducati grand prix debut, Marquez secured a P4 finish (after P5) in the sprint, having pressurised Pramac’s Jౠorge Martin who clung on t🔯o finish third.

Marquez later revealed th🌟at he stopped trying to overtakওe Martin in the final stages to avoid crashing.

“Tꦐhe last two laps I gave up because I saw the chance to crash,” he was quoted by♊ .

“And the chance to tak𓄧e two more point👍s, three more points…

"I prefe👍rred to finish fourth and wait for two weeks in Portimao."

Marquez detailed his pe🐻rformance which concluded by maꦓnaging his front tyre over the finish line.

"We analysed with the team a ꦅlot of things to try to manage the start, it was bette💯r today," he said.

🌠𝓀"So, this helped the race a lot. Then I was able to manage well the tyres.

"The th💯ing was yesterday I struggled and today most of the riders were managing the rear, but I was managing the front more than the rear because every year with the other bike [the Honda] I 🍨was struggling a bit with the front tyre in this race track.

"Anyway, I need to improve my riding style in some points because still I'm not riding well. But today the race was 🧸c﷽onstant, solid.

"I did my attack in the last eight laps, and when I did the attack it was wh♛en I started to push more with the front and I finished the front꧑ tyre.”

Marquez’s first round racing with the GP23 was largely hailed a success after a fifth-place and fourth-pla🥃ce finish in the sprint and grand prix respectively.

The bad news for him is that Francesco Bagnaia, the reignin🔴g champion, is already leading the standings after winning the first Sunday race.

And Bagnaia’s nearest challenger last year, Marಌtin, won the sprint to signal his own intention to resume battling for top spot this seas꧃on.
