After injuring his right foot when he was brutally taken out at Turn 1 of the Silverstone Sprint, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marco Bezzecchi was lucky to avoid another incident at the start of Sunday’s British MotoGP.

Bezzecchi had been launched from his GP23 when friend, fellow Academy member and 2025 VR46 replacement Franco Morbidelli lost control un☂der braking and hit the back of his Desmosedici on Saturday afternoon.

“[Morbidelli] came to visit me after💦 the session. He apologised. It’s a mistake that pissed me off of course. But what can I say? It had already happened, so I accept his apology and I'm su🙈re he didn't do it on purpose," Bezzecchi said.

"So in the end, everything is OK."

Morbidelli received a double long lap penalty by the FIM Stewards for 'riding in an irr🦋esponsible manner, causing a crash'.

The Sunday start then saw Brad Binder - starting twಞo rows ahead of Bezzecchi - slow to a crawl due to a clutch🔯 issue with his KTM.

“I almost hit Brad who had an issue with the bike,” Bezꦉzecchi explained. “Jack [Miller] moved at the last second and [then] 🧸I almost hit him. So I went a bit backwards.”

The evasive action cost the Italian several places and he finished the💎 opening lap i꧅n 13th, despite Trackhouse team-mates Raul Fernandez and Miguel Oliveira crashing out ahead.

Bezzecchi then regained ground by passing Fabio Quartararo, Morbidelli, Maverick Vinales, J🍒ack Miller and finally Pe😼dro Acosta.

“During the race the pain was not too bad in the beginning with the adrenaline and everything. But 💧in the last 6-8 laps I started to feel like less sensitivity in all the leg, but especially in the foot,” said the 2025 factory Aprilia rider.

“So it was really tough t🍒o understand hꦡow much rear brake I was using, so this was a little bit the limit. But, apart from this, the race was good.

“The injury was painful, but I could manage. It was more the start that created a probleꦯm for me because without the [scare] with Brad probably I could have been more in front.

“I⛦𝓰 think this was the biggest issue. The injury was not helping but I tried to survive.”

Team-mate Fabio di Giannantonio finished i♌n fifth place.
