168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Francesco Bagnaia stuck to his strategy in the Spanish MotoGP to out-duel 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez and secure his second grand prix win of 2024.
Bagnaia, who ma꧟de a stunning double overtake on Marco Be🦄zzecchi and Jorge Martin on the outside of turn six [lap one], then took the lead from Marquez before the opening lap was over.
The world champ꧅ion then made a mista❀ke at turn 13 on lap two, giving title rival Jorge Martin the lead, however, Bagnaia was superb from that point forward.
Despite being slower than Marquez late on, Bagnaia used simi𒅌lar tactics to Aragon 2021 when he snapped back at Marquez every time the Gresini rider made an attempt to take the lead.
Discussing his strategy, Bagnaia said: “When I saw that Ma𓆉rc was behind🍌 I pushed for two laps and I did 37.8s, but I saw that he was gaining.
“So I thought to🗹 not stress too much the tyres in that moment because he was catchin✃g. I just tried to have a bit more tyre for the last three laps.
“As soon as he made the second attempt at corner nine I tried to push ✱again from that moment. And the ಞ37.4s arrived. It helped a lot to grow a bit of a gap in the last lap.”
Bagnaia, who has already crashed out of a race this season (Portimao) following contact with Marquez, was in no mood to back down as the pair collided again at turn🌟 ten🌟 in Jerez.
That came one day after Bagnaia was taken down🦹 during a collision wit♕h Brad Binder and Bezzecchi.
Oth🙈er accidents took place during the grand prix, but Bagnaia does not believe racing is too aggressive in MotoGP.
Asked if he’s comf♐ortable with how close racing is at the moment, Bagnaia said: “Yes because what happened yesterday wasn’t what happened iღn Portimao. Sometimes the battles are more intense.
“Wౠe can have contact because it is harder to have a normal overtꦡake right now because everyone is very strong under braking.
“It is easy to brake hard like this and the guy who is on the inside is going wider, sꩲo you have to try to close the line. It is something that can happen right now.”
The caveat to that being respect should always be given, as Bagnaia believes that’s fundamental to providing good racing.&nbs൲p;
For me, respect is always the most im🔴portant thing,” added the world champion. “When th🐭ere is respect there is a show and fun.
“Without respect it is impossible to have a nice battle and to en🎶joy it.”
