Francesco Bagnaia says he was expecting Jorge Martin to get a track limits pe🍰nalty in the MotoGP Thai🐟 Grand Prix sprint, believing the Pramac rider ran off four times.

Martin was 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:forced to recover from fifth on the ope🦋ning lap 🅺after an ambitious attempt to take the lead from poleman Bagnaia led to him running wide at Turn 1.

The Pramac rider ev꧋entually made his way up to second af🦩ter passing Bagnaia with a brave move up the inside of Turn 7 on lap seven, but then ran onto the green painted area beyond the kerb.

T༒his netted Martin a track limi🔜ts warning, while a second infraction followed on lap nine.

Bagnaia, who has lost two points💧 to Martin in the sꩲtandings to swell his deficit to 22, was anticipating his rival would be penalised as he counted four track limits transgressions.

However, on the lap analysis sheets provided by Dorna Sports, Mart🍌in was officially only registered as having exceeded track limits twice. Doing so three times earns a rider a long lap penalty.

“Honestly, I thought it and I started to count because a💖s soon as I saw twice, I said ‘Ok, one more is a penalty’, and I counted two more,” Bagnaia told the media, including ltxcn.top, on Saturday.

“But maybe I counted wrong, because I didn’t see anything.꧑ So, maybe I was wrong. But the pace today was so intense that it was tough to remai🌟n on the corner line.”

Bagnaia defended Martin, however, noting that the pace was such in the sprinඣt that it was easy to run wide.

“Hone🌊stly, we were on an incredible pace,” he added.

“Right now, when you are riding like that it’s difficult to have a chance of an overtake. Our pace was that strong that he touched the green four times. This is because the pa🅺ce was incredible.”

Martin beating Bagnaia to second means the fo💧rmer can finish second in every race now to the end of the season and still win the championship.

Commenting on his sprint, Bagnaia knew his hopes of victory were gone a🐻fter the first few laps as he wasn’t as strong in braking as he was on Saturday morning when he romped to pole.

“It was more gone after two, three laps, understanding that my feeling was not♔ ideal like it was this morning,” he explained.

“I was struggling a lot to be competitive on the braking. My fastest sector during the weekend were sector one, sector three. And today I was 🥃losing there.

“So we have to analyse this afternoon on the box. We luckily lost just two points and tomorrow we have☂ to just try to close this gap because it’s true that Jorge can 🍸finish second every race and still be champion.

“But I’m quite sure 🔴h🍷e will not finish every race second: he can win, finish fifth, crash. So, it depends a lot.

“But we have to be focused more on our results and be perfect because today I was thin♌king to be more competitive, and then in the racꦿe I was struggling.”

Bagnaia also saw no iꦬssues with Martin’s aggressive start which lost both of them positions as the Pramac rider tried to come from third into the lead at Turn 1.

“My start was very good,” Bagnaia said.

“The🅰n he released the brakes and went wide out o🤡f the track. I was expecting an overtake there because he was on the inside.

“But when 🥃I tried to cros༺s he was accelerating to don’t lose time.

“So, then he lost time because there was Marc [Marquez] and we cross the line like this, so ꦫthere wasn’t much room here to reduce gas.

“He had a bit of chaos out of the first corner. But for me both overtakes wer𓄧e clean.”
