168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez's crew chief has insisted that he did not have a technical problem before the Qatar MotoGP.

Marquez did not clarify when asked if he was experiencing a pro𒈔blem with his ride height de🎉vice on the starting grid - before a restart was triggered by Raul Fernandez.

The delay of approximately 10 minutes allowed engineers from every team to get a💮n additional look at the bikes.

TV replays appeared to show Marquez fiddling with his dashboard or handlebars during the💮 de𓃲lay.

But Frankie Carchedi, his crew chief, confirmed on social media: "No, bike needed stands and warmers on because the bikes were left fo༺r about seven minutes before they started."

When asked by TNT Sports afterwards if he experienced a tech issue, Marquez said: “My biᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚggest problem? The tyre management was for the front.

“Most of the riders manage the rear but I managﷺed the front.

“My riding style, I push the front a lot. Still we need to find the correct balance to save the front. I was riding in a 🌌good way.”

The restart was an anti-climatic moment before the 2024 MotoGP ღseason-opener caused by Trackhouse rider Fernandez.

It forced every rider on the starting grid to re-foꦿcus and prepare again.

Ma♚rquez reacted to Fernandez’s e💞rror: “It’s the first race and everybody is super nervous.

“But you know as a rider that𓄧 if you stop the bike on the grid, then you need to go out, as soon as possible, so at least the others can restart the race.”

Marquez’s first MotoGP round as a Gresini Ducati rider concluded with P5 in the spಞrint race and P4 in the 🍌grand prix.

Although the two wins were shared by Jorge Martin and Francesco Bagnaia, last year’s titꦯle rivals, there is hope for Marquez.

“Yes, I am ꦑsuper happy about my weekend,” he said.

“And happy with the t🦄eam too, because thꦏey did good work. I was looking for [the top five].

“When I did a good start and a good ꧟first lap, I understood that maybe it was possible.

“But honestly I was always watching the podium because I was super close. For most of the race I♋ was riding in fourth position.

“It was difficult but I tried to manage the tyres in a good way. In the laꦬst laps I pushed, but the others pushed t🦩oo. It was not possible.

“But we understood a few things, I learned more about the race weꦛekend, about how to manage the tyres. We need to keep going step by step.

“For me, Portimao w𝓀ill be important. Why? Because 🌜in the Malaysia and Qatar tests I took a lot of time to get into rhythm.

“Let’s see in Portimao if I can be, straight away, on a goo𒐪d pace. In Qatar it helped me that we had a test here two weeks ag🌠o. Portimao will be different.”

MotoGP returns in Portimao on March 22-24.
