Marini lost first place on lap f🔜ive, before succumbing to the pressure of Fabio Di Giannan🌸tonio on the same lap.
Although Marini called it a ‘fantastic Satur𝓰day’ after claiming pole with a new circuit record and a podium, the It♔alian is concerned for the main race.
Speaking to MotoGP.♈com, Marini said: “Fantastic Saturday. T﷽he weekend is not finished so we need to find something for tomorrow because today the race was really difficult for me.
“Afteꦡr four laps I finished the rear tyre. It was really difficult to arrive at 🍃the end of this sprint race. I am really worried about tomorrow.
“But we will see and trꦿy to understand what happened to find a solution because in practice this never happened.
“Us𒀰ually the harder rear makes an improvement lap-b🦩y-lap but today was the complete opposite.
“Also,✅ the front tyre was a question mark. I felt good with the soft but everyone else is using the hard.”
With tyre wear clearly a problem for the Italian, making sure hℱe finds a brea🍨kthrough in order to sustain a bigger challenge to the likes of Martin is his main aim between now and tomorrow’s night’s Grand Prix.
“At the beginning of this sprint race I was quite strong,” added Marini. “But as soon as I started struggling with the rear tyre my pace was finished. Tyre management will be🍃 the key of the race tomorrow.”
