168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez has lost fourth place in the Dutch MotoGP due to a post-race penalty for low🅷 tyre pressure.

With Francesco Bagnaia and Jorge Martin soon escaping out front, Marquez was seen waving Fabio di Giannantonio past to lead a group of ri😼ders fightin💦g for third on lap 8 of 26.

Marquez’s actions were presumably due to fears that he would 🔯be under pressure unless he followed another rider for a large part of the race.

Revised tyre pressure rules for 2024 mean riders must stay above a front min𝔉imum of 1.8 bar for 60% of a Grand Prix distance🀅 or face a 16-second post-race time penalty.

Despite then remaining in the podium battle until the cജlosing stages of the grand prix, Marquez failed to reach theꦯ minimum number of ‘legal’ laps.

It is thought that Marquez and Gresini migh𓆉t have tried to argue that Enea Bastianini’s turn one pass on the #93, which caused Marquez to sit up and run wide on lap 21, was a mitigating circumstance🌄 that contributed to the Spaniard falling below the 60% threshold.

Some riders also spoke of the wind causing an unexpected los🐠s of tyre temperature dur🧔ing the grand prix, which was held in an air temperature 3 degrees lower than the Saturday Sprint and a track temperature 10 degrees lower.

Ultimately, Marquez was ruled to have been running a front tyre pressure 'lower than ꧒the parameters advised by the official supplier' and the FIM Stewards duly applied the standard 16-second penalty.

That penalty drops Marquez from fourth to tenth in the Assen classification, also meaning the loss of 7 world champion🎐ship points.
