The precise error that caused 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jorge Martin to crash out of the Spanish MotoGP has been analysed.
Championship leader Martin crashed out of the lead at Jerez, at the halfway stage, with Frances𓂃co Bagnaia directly behind him.
Bagnaia held off Marc Marquez for victory, to further punish Martin’s first💖 e💮rror of the season.
“[Bagnaia] put the pressure on Jorge,” Sylvain Gu൲intoli analysed for TNT Sports.
“He was in his slipstream, on his side a little bit on the straightsꦉ, on the approach to Turn 6.
“That pressure made Martin make a mistake.
“He was trying to cover and he was going to 𝕴the right side of the track, then coming back to the left, that stopped 𒀰the rear slip. That’s why he crashed.
“Jorge is trying to cover the෴ inside. So he’s going to the right of the track.
“He starts coming back to the left, braking. That means his r🍎ear tyre steps out of shape really, really late.
“Then recovers the grip, and that pus🌊hes the front🦋 and makes him crash.
“If he was on the racing line, on the left, t🐼hat wouldn’t have h🌺appened.
“On the left he would have got rear slip, rear slide, on braking ver✤y early on, then carrying it into the corner.
“He wouldn’t🥃 have inconsistency of 💟rear slip, and no push to the front tyre.
“꧑It was Pecco putting pressure on Jorge, and making him make a mistake.”
Michael Laverty said about Martin: “He looked like he was so strong. On the brakes into Tur👍n 6, he was probably the strongest rider out there.
ജ“But he asked too mu🦩ch. The front tyre locked on him.
“Jorge has been the man in contro🅠l this season. Thi🗹s is his first indiscretion.
“He’ll be feeling it tonight. Frustration, more than🍌 anything.
“But he 𒁏can hold his head high. He hasn’t got the MotoGP podium around Jerez but he was certainly fast enough for it.”
Pramac rid♛er Martin remains at the top of the MotoGP standings despite aꦬ point-less grand prix at Jerez.
He is now 17 points ahead of factory Ducati rider🐲 B𝐆agnaia, the reigning champion who edged him to last year’s title.
