MotoGP title leader 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jorge Martin failed to sc🌄ore points in a Sprint race for the first time at Mugello on Satuဣrday.

The Pramac Ducati rider, on the podium in 5 of the 6 Saturday races this season, blotted his copybook by crashing ouᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚt of third on lap 8 of 11.

But ♈he felt it was far from a normal accident and that 'something is not right'.

“It was a difficult day overall from the morning. I could do this fas♕t lap [for pole] but we are far away from the top pace,” Martin told MotoGP.com

“In the Sprint I had the podium under control but I just missed aꦜ lot of front gr🎀ip, after three laps I felt like the tyre is really, really used.

“It's a really strange feeling, but it is what it is. We need to understand why [and] make for sure a big change on the front because if not to🌄morrow will be dif🐬ficult.

“In the crash, I braked a bit earlier than the lap before. I was even slower trying to be calm on that corner because th☂e lap before Iಌ went wide.

“And ev♛en then I crashed, so for sure something is not right and we need to s🌺olve it for tomorrow.”

Martin had earlier escaped punishment when a re-pass on Enea Bastianini for second place at the same Turn 1 saw contact that left the factory Ducati rider, whose seat Marti🌄n is tipped to take over in 2025, down and out.

The FIM Stewards judged it as a racing incident.

“He overtook me, went wide and I clo🎃sed the line. I didn't seeও him at all,” Martin said.

“I think it was really, really close but he was wide, sℱo that's wꦗhy I went on the inside.

“I d꧙idn't even realise that he crashed. I just ꦚwatched it on the television.”

Bastianini, tipped to 🌠lose his factory seat to Martin next season, said: 

"When I saw that Jorge (Martin) was riding a bit on the limit, I tried to overtake him and we wꦚent a bit wide, then he dove in and that’s when the coming 🍸together took place. 

"Unfortunately, the race ended too soon and it’s a shame because we had what it takes to do well. I think the incident could have been 🌱avoided, but what matters is thaꦦt we focus on tomorrow knowing we have the pace to do well."

Martin heads into Sunday𒁃’s grand prix with a reduced 27-point advantage over reigning champion and Sprint winner Francesco Bagnaia, w🍰ith Gresini’s Marc Marquez closing to 32 points behind.
