Marc Marquez “shouldn’t be normalised” after sensational ride with a broken wing
“He was having to compensate. But he cꦦan make the differ𝕴ence."
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez was praised for another remarkable ride in the sprint race on Saturday at the Catalunya MotoGP.
The Gresini Ducatꦿi finished runner-up behind Aleix Espargaro after three leaders all crashed out.
🍬Marquez started from 14th and endured a broken wing, but still overtook the impressive Pedro Acosta toඣ secure an unlikely podium.
“He can make it happe♚n,” TNT Sports' Michael Laverty said ⭕about the brilliant Marquez.
“Even on the last lap he was making an overtake into Turn 1, but his bike was whee♔lieing more because it didn’t have that extra downforce.
“He used the draft to his benefit.
“Throughout the race, Acosta was arg♈uably the best on the brakes. But Marc just levels him. He makes it happen, and does what Pedro𒐪 was doing. Then he protects it, and pulls it back.
“It shouldn’t be norꩲmalised. He was 14th on the grid! He worked his way through. Finishes second, up to second in the championship.
“It’s Marc doing Marc things, it💛’s so impressive to watch.”
The brokenꦛ wiꦗng did not hamper Marquez’s charge through the field.
But, afterwards, it was noted how much he o꧅vercame.
“🌌You feel like the bike is being pulled to one side,” Sylvain Guintoli said.
“It’s like a side wind, when you are cycling. You have to lean,🉐 even when you ♛are going straight. It feels like that.
“It didn’t have a massive effect because Marc still had t🌞he pace to ♏make some moves.
“But you will feel it. The wings bring stability🍬. If one is missing, you 🔴feel unstable.”
Laverty repl🐈ied: “He was having to compensate. But he can make the difference.
“He has always been good at posi🍌tioning his body to make the bike work when it doesn’t want to do something.
“He shouldn’t ♏have been on the po༒dium. It was a little lucky because three front-runners fell out.
“He was there to pick up the pieces.”
'Make your own luck'
Although Marquez was fortunate to see Raul Fernandez, Brad Binder and Pecco Bagnaia fal🎐l from the lead, he was credited for not succumbing with a similar error.
“Es🥀pecially when the conditions are tricky, you have to make your own luck,” Guintoli said.
“You have to stay in control, be cold and calculaꦦted, and not make mistakes.
“Clearly, it was so easy to make mistakes. So easy to overcook it, to blow i🎉t. We𝄹 saw many riders do it.
“The rider that keeps cool and mꦡanages the situation wins. Espargaro did that well. But Marquez from 14th? Not panicking, getting a great start, keeping his pace without the wing.
“Something like that, mentally, you switch offඣ. It wouldn’t have felt right on the straights or the exit ofꦓ corners.
“You hav☂e to keep composed. This is where to see chꦚampions.”
Marquez rose to second in the MotoGP championship,🐓 37 points from leader Joꦰrge Martin.
Martin finished fourth in Saturday’s sprint.
“Jorge still delivered solid points scoring with Pecco on the 🐼ground,” Lavert🥀y said.
“He gave away a few points to Marquez but will still be happy tonight. He 🍎will regroup and come b🗹ack tomorrow.
“Over a race ꦛdistance, Jorge will have something tomorrow.🐲”
Guintoli previewed Sunday’s grand prix: “There will be more tyre management over a longer distance. Lap times will d⛎rop.
🔯“We have more consistent tyres but no grip. People will🔯 have to manage, and be clever.”
