“MotoGP sprint race like stepping into a boxing ring!” Let’s get ready to rumble at MotoGP Grand Prix of the Americas
The sprint race at the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:MotoGP Grand Prix of the Ameri🅷cas is on Saturday at 9pm (UK).
The half-distance and half-points rules of the new format have caused pl♔enty of thrills and spills so far - and even an injury to Enea Bastianini which means he will miss the first three grands prix of 20🌳23.
"The sprint requires a different approach, which is why it ꦇis not easy to master,” Bezzecchi said who was 11th-faste🦹st on Friday after a costly fall.
“It's like sꦐtepping into a boxin💝g ring. It's exhausting, but it's also a lot of fun.
“With more experience, we will better understand how🌞 to deal with the format."
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Johann Zarco added: “The sp♉rint race is very interes🎉ting. Really, to prepare for the race on Sunday you get so much information.
“You have this pleasure to fight with the others, and ♔when you have the po🉐wer to fight you get even more fun. This is good.
“It’s true with the Saturday, to be focused to have good qualifying and t🐷hen switch the mind to be ready for the race is asking a lot.
“It’s good to change this to have more of a show,🔯 and that’s fine. It’s true that we also, as riders on the sporting side, we enjoy it a lot.
“But somethi🐭ng that is a bit wrong is that they’re asking more on the side of the track. They forget that we have to c꧂oncentrate to race a bike at more than 300 kilometres an hour.”
Zarco also criticised a new scheduling issue: “On a Saturday morning it will be mandato♌ry to go and see the fans 15 minutes before going on the bike. I do not agree with this. Because it is mandatory, maybe we will ge💖t penalties if we don’t do it.
“We have to remember that even if w🌊e have FP3 in the morning, it’s still a bike going at more than 300 kph on tracks that are sometimes difficult to race on – like here in Austin, which is the most difficult of the year.
“We need time to concentrate. To make s💜omething mandatory 15 minutes before going on the bike is maybe the reason why there is more stress, more accidents, more injuries on the track.”
