“He was hanging, at the end of tᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚhe race, physically.
“It’s like your head ꦯis cooking inside the helmet! You lose senses, you lose vision, you lose sharpness.
“He made a bit of a mistake. He had a margin on Fabio th☂en made a pass, super𓃲-aggressive, on the limit.
“It was fair and square.”
Michael Laverty noted that riders were in their leathers half-an-hour before the 37-minute Indian Moto♌GP is hot conditions.

“It was a tough one between the two main men in the championship. The꧂y wanted to dice it out,” Guintoli said.
“Pecco was try☂ing to stay in front but Martin ha𝔉d more pace.
“Those two dicing was a nice spectacle, it 📖was n𝓀ice to see the respect too.
“We also saw𒁏 the issue that we have in MotoGP at the moment with the draft - at the end of the straight, you can’t stop the bike anymore and it’s hard to judge.
“We’ve se🦋en near misses and we’re talking about the top riders in the world who don’t get much wrong.
“It’s a very difficult sensation to explain. You don’t get it a🍒s much with Superbikes, for example, because there is no aero, wings or ride-height devices.
“With Mot🌟oGP the front tyre is overworked and the wind stops you, liꦅke a parachute.”
Laverty added: “Unfo💛rtunately Pecco had another slightly unforced error.

“He felඣt it would give him braking stability towards the end of♉ the race but it left him in the gravel.
“Anoth💧er huge dent in🦋 his championship, giving away 20 points to Martin and 25 to Bezzecchi.
“It was꧅ a momentary thing, 🦂your reactions are never going to catch it.
“Heartbreak for Pecco, w💛e’ve seen it over the years.
“🅘Championship-wise he’s going to start to feel it.”
Guintoli said: “Martin is in great form, he has a good fee💞ling with the bike.
“Bezzecchi is not out of it.
“There are opportunities to score points or to 𝔉make mistakes.
“They push each other and are on similar machinery🍰.”
