Alex Marquez “didn't understand what happened with Marc”, “my mistake” with Diggia
Alex Marquez admits fault after Qatar contact ends ⭕MoཧtoGP podium streak.
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Alex Marquez's impressive streak of seven runner-up finishes came to an end in a messy Qatar MotoGP, where the Gresini 🌳rider was involved in two early-race clashes.
The first was with none other than brother Marc, but the costl⛄iest occurred with Fabio di Giannantonio, resulting in a long lap penalty.
Alex tangled with race leader M🌟arc on the exit of Turn 1 and was initially confused about why he ran into the side of the Ducati Lenovo bike.
“I did a really good start, butꦗ I just didn't understand what happened with Marc in the first corner, because he had already opened the gas,” Alex said.
“I saw also that Franco was overtaking on the outside.🌳 So I was said ‘OK, we go’ and then I felt that small contact.
“But when I spoke with Marc [after] he said he closed the gas because 🎃he ꦇhad a moment, losing a bit the rear. But nothing happened in the contact.”
Butꦜ it was the incident with di Giannantonio that carried far more serious consequences. After being passed at Turn 10, Alex tried to immediately retaliate.
“I tried to attack [baꦕck] on Turn 12 but it was not the moment, not the place. I completely made a mistake in that point. I want to say sorry to him and his team,” he admitted. “It was a long lap𓄧, which I accept. It's fair.”
“Speed there even with half wings”
After serv📖ing the penalty, Marquez dropped to 12th but battled back to seventh at the flag, 💟which became sixth due to Maverick Vinales’ tyre penalty.
“The bike was a little bit d🌳amaged on th♍e aerodynamic side, but I was able also to make a good speed. It's my mistake and we need to learn for the future.”
Marquez set the fifth fastest lap of 🅘the race and found an unlikely advantage in the damage: “I was overtaking everybody [out of the final corner], the bike in that moment was like flying!
“It's true that in some brake points and in some fast corners, the feeling was not really right, but I did 1✤'52.8 [on lap 15 of 22] so the biﷺke was not bad.
“The speed🐼 was there even with half wings and that’s what we need to take to Je🐟rez.”
Alex, who had been leading the world championship heading into Qatar, return💟s to Europe 17 points behind Marc and 9 ahead of Francesco Bagnaia.
