Joan Mir expressed his frustration at how 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez's overtake attempt in the sprint race at the Spanish MotoGP was handled by stewards.

Gresini’s Marquez, desperately on the com♔eback trail after crashing from the lead, made contact with former Repsol Honda teammate Mir as he tried to overtake at the final corner.

Marquez was punished by the stew𒈔ards by dropping one place, and he finished sevꦍenth, but Mir fell a few places down to 10th as a result of the contact.

"He came int✨o my line, he kicked me out of the track to get that position,” Mir was quoted by .

“So, this is so💖mething at the moment you ca꧙nnot do. Or if you do, you have to be penalised.

"I'm not pissed with the manoeu🌺vre from Marc, because if he waited three seconds more we 🌊pass the corner and in the straight he overtakes me.

"So, this is something that I don't really understand being in 𓃲that position.

"If we fight for the podium I understand. But man, it's unbelievable how they value these types of things, and they are so irregular with penalties. Iꦜt's unbelievabl𝓀e.

"In the end, I'm a rider who in the past liked to overtake with contact. It's so☂mething that I do becau✱se nowadays with the aero it's very difficult to overtake.

"So, with a bit of contact, we have to have th﷽is margin in the overtakes. But one thing is the margin to touch and open your line, and the other thing is to kౠick the rider out of the track.

"This is a completely different story.🐲 They have to judge as they did in the past."

L🌞ast year at Portimao, Mir was slapped with a double long lap penalty for the following day’s grand prix 𒊎after he made contact with Fabio Quartararo in the sprint race.

Mir insisted “I want to understand” how🌊 the FIM stewards could come to a softer decision for Marquez on Saturday in Jerez.

“How is this possible that [for] one rider you say one thing, and for the same move or even worse it's [only] demot💫ed one position,” he said.
