Qualifying fourth on Saturday at Le Mans, Gresini's Aldeguer bested polesitter 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fabio Quartararo in a hard late f♈ight to claim the final podium spot.

Aldeguer shared the podium a❀t Le Mans on Saturday with Marc Marquez and Alex Marquez, whom he has a close relationship with.

He said this experience was꧂ “very special” forꦚ him.

“At t♚he end, they spent a lot of time together and I’m very close to them,” he told the official MotoGP website.

“We have a good relationship, also all Gresini family has a nice day. It’s incredible because to be on my first podium with my idol and my team-m🎀ate is very special for me.

“For sure, tomorrow I want more, but we have to stay calm and another podium I’ღd be happy with.”

He also noted that⛄ the Marquez brothers helped him get on terms with Quartararo, as🦩 their respective battles with the Yamaha brought Aldeguer into play.

“Marc and Alex hel🤪ped me because they had a li🍸ttle bit of gap after Pecco [Bagnaia] crashed,” Aldeguer said.

“And with the battle I arrived and I said ﷽‘today I have to do a podi🍸um’.

“Two times I’ve been fourth in a sprint and n🅺ow I had to do a t♐hird.

“We are strong in the brake poꦺint, also the first and second sector.

“We have a b🔥etter bike than Quartararo, but for sure he is riding in an incredible style and it was a nice battle.”

Aldeguer’s signing by Ducati to join the Gresini team for 2025 raised some eyebrows as last year’s Moto2 campai🍸gn wore on, as the Spaniard failed to impress in the same way he did in 2023.

But he praised the Italian marque for not putting pressur𒁏e on him to perform.

“I’m soꦉ ha𝔉ppy. It’s an incredible moment for me,” he added.

“We have the speed, we have the pace to fight in the top five i💫n these last races.

“Th♏e feeling was very good and also the speed, but a little mistake, we need more experience to fight with these top fไive riders.

“But today is our day, finishing third with a nice bat💝tle with Pecco in the start and after with Fabio.

“It wa🍃s very nice. Just this. I have to say th♒ank you to the Gresini people, all of Ducati, because they helped me a lot.

“They don’t put any pres🔜sur💃e on me and this is important for a rookie rider. I’m enjoying a lot the feeling on the bike.”
