168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Luca Marini missed out on scoring a point at the British MotoGP due to a post-race tyre💃 pressure penalty.

The Repsol Honda rider crossed the line in 15th, e🐬nough to claim only his second po🔯int of the season.

But he was demoted to 17th - and pointless - f🌌or failing to meet the minimu⛦m tyre pressure regulations.

Teammate Joan Mir did not finish at Silverstone, while LCR Honda’s Johann Zarco finished 14th and Takaaki ཧNakagami was 15th.

Marini, b꧋efore his penalty, told media including ltxcn💖.top about the issues faced by his Honda: “The problem is the first laps.

“In the first lap we had a gaಞp, more or less half-a-second per lap from a good group.

“In the first lap, we take second𒈔s. We need to understand how we make the rear tyre work at the beginning of the race.

“ꦉAꦗt the beginning, I was alone with nobody in front.

“It was strange because, in this race, I struggled a lot with vibrations. “In this long race, it was much wꦓorse than yesterday.

“I needed to slow down♔ because I almost crashed at every corner. A lot of vibrations - we need to investigate this problem.

“This can sometimes happen with our bike, it happened to ot🐬her Honda riders.

“We have to understand how to avoid it.”

“Now, in qualifying, we are able to make a good lap with a soft tyre,” he s🍃aid. “With a ha🍸rd compound, we struggle.

“I would’ve liked to race with a hard front and a soft rear. But seeing everyone… medium, medium… I wanted t🌠o follow everyone so ca𝄹n follow the data. For the manufacturer it is better to have feedback.”

The spec of the engine used by Marini differs to othe𝐆r Honda riders.

“Mir, we have the same. Zarc🍷o, we have d💖ifferent ones,” he explained.

“Z🌞arco’s engine is more powerful, more horsepower, more speed on the straight.🐭 But it’s difficult to ride and I don’t like it.

“For me, for tꦏhe development of the bike in the future, it is not the𓆉 right way.

“With my engine now, we always lose two๊ tenths in the straights, but it’s the way for the future. It’s how we’ll find m♚ore performance.”

Marini has only one point in the entire season, after 10 rounds.  He is rooted to the bottom of the standings, in 23rd, behind even Dani Pedrꦅosa who took part in just one round as a wildcard.

But, Marini has found positives.

“We have improved so much. Maybe the results are the sa♉me,✨” he said.

“But it’s a big step riding the bike. The feeไling improved.

“The problem is that everyone has made a step. Eve😼r🌳yone is pushing a lot.”
