Enea Bastianini’s first MotoGP ‘double’ of Sprint and Grand Prix victories at Silverstone also carried the factory Ducati rider past 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez for third in the world championship.

🌃Bastianini is now 49-points from title leader Jorge M🐠artin and 46 behind team-mate and reigning champion Francesco Bagnaia.

But with 370 points still up for grabs ‘T▨he Beast’ has plenty of time to make it a three-way world championship battle and potentially take the #1 plate to Tech3 KTM next season.

Before the summer bre🌼ak, Marquez had already alluded to the growing threat from Bastianini, whose renowned🔯 tyre-saving ability then took him to a first MotoGP win since Sepang 2023 at Silverstone.

“His riding style is quite strange,” explained Marquez on Sund🔥ay evening at Silverstone. “In the beginning with a new tyre, he struggles a bit more than Pecco and Martin. But always with the used tyre, he's extremely fast because he's able to turn the bike with not a lot of [lean] angle.

“He's doing so well there and at the same time he's braking late and he picks up well the bike. In this race track, honestly speaking when I was behind him, he was riding super goꦚod. He never smoked the tyre. He was just efficient, just fast, but with not a lot of movement.

“So yeah, he made a massive difference. And as we’ve seen in the past, he's a rider that when he has his ℱda♊y, he is unbeatable.”

Th꧑e big question i🍬n terms of the title is how many more of those days Bastianini will be able to deliver this season.

Unlike the title leaders, Bastianini has finished every race, although ignoring ไthe long lap penalty in Catalunya - resulting in a big post-race time penalty that dropped him out of the points - could come💝 back to haunt him.

Marquez: GP24s ‘super-fast’ at some tracks

Meanwhile, Marquez now needs to overturn a 13-point 🌞deficit to Bastianini if he is to finish in the title top three.

But the eight-time world champion, who takes over Bastianini’s factory ride next year, warned that at some trackಌs - like Silverstone - the GP24s have a clearer advantage o🔯ver his GP23.

“For me, it's not about the rear tyre, it’s about the evolꩵution of the biไkes,” Marquez said of Sunday’s all-GP24 podium.

“Last year here my 🌜brother Alex and Fabio di Giannantonio, who sta⛦rted at the back, were the fastest guys on track and Aleix [Espargaro] won with Aprilia.

“To💜day I finished in front of Aleix and Aprilia [6th]. I fꦅinished in front of Diggia [5th]. And I finished in front of my brother Alex [7th].

“So [my] performance is there, but it looks like 🌠the ‘24 bikes in some racetracks are super-fast. Especially this one where you have long straights and with ✤that [factory-spec] rear device, with more top speed, the difference is a bit bigger.

“But as we sh🔯owed today, if we work in a good way - even if this weekend we were a bit delayed [behind with the set-up] - we can be on a good level to fight with theꦑm. But always on the limit.”

Pressed on th🤪e size of the performance gap to the GP24s, Marquez saidꦇ:

“At the moment, on ave🧸rag𝕴e, we are 4-5 seconds slower in the race. So we need to improve more than two or three tenths per lap if we want to fight with them.

“That is a lot. Sounds not🍸 so bad, but it is a lot!

“[Austria] will be difficul𝓰t. But our target is that top four-five and - if we can - figh💛t for the podium as we did in another races.”
