Marc Marquez P3 despite crash: “I think I know why, it was my mistake…”
“I think I know why I crashed. It was my mistake," Marc Marquez🅘 says in Portimao
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez crashed his Ducati for the first time on a race weekend yet still finished Friday Practice third-fastest at the Portuguese MotoGP.
Marquez ༒ended the morning session fastest, then finished the day in P3 after losing the front of his Ducati at Turn 🧸5.
💯Yet, it was all smiles after a productive day in Portimao.
Marquez assessed his cra𒆙sh: “We did a 𝔉small change on the bike to give me more confidence.
“If you have more coꦺnfidence you are ab🐟le to push more.
“We need to go this way.
“The crash was on the last time attack.
“When I w🧔as behind somebody 🐷on a Honda I felt better. On a Ducati I feel worse.
“I try to manage it in a different way.
“I lost the rear on entry. 🎀A strange crash. I need to a﷽nalyse.
“I think I know why I crashed. It was my mistake.
“When you do a time attack, my instinct arrives.♔ I am used to going super-fast on the apex with a Hon💎da. On this bike, you need to ride in a different way.
“The potential is in another area.
“I had shaking. I saw the speed was too fast. I tried to go in with my instinct, with a slide, b🐻ut now I know that✨ I can’t!”
Marquez had briefly gone f꧂astest during the afternoon session, then dropped back down to fifth.
W🦩ith one run to go, he was P2, and e🍸ventually settled for P3 behind Enea Bastianini and Jack Miller.
He explained his wide smile in the Gresini garage: “It makes me happy that I’m enjoying it. I’m top five, six, you feel competitive. ไI am consistent with lap times.
“The track will improve. I know Pecco and Martin ꦦwill arrive.
“Two or three riders are faster than us.
“But I’m enjoying it.”
Portimao was expected 𒐪to be a major test for Marquez because he had never tested a Ducati here, unlike in Qatar.
But he fed 💧back: “Easier ♍than Qatar. In Qatar I struggled more.
“I was rid▨ing - you say conservatively - but it was just without c💟onfidence.
“It looks conservative but when 𒐪you don’t have confidence you can’t push.
“Here, the confidence is better. The technician Frankie Carchedi understands my riding style better. I understand the bike better. I 📖understand what I need on tꦯhis bike to be fast.
“This helps with c🏅onfidence and with lap times, and to be quick.”
Marquez gave himself an “eight out of 10, I w🔯ould say 9 without the crash” for his Friday at Portimao.
He added: “I pushed, but everybody pushed. Practice is one of the🐽 most stressful of the weekend.
“Because you need to work for the weekend, you can’t crash the first bike, you need to d🍬o three time attacks, be in the top 10…
“It’s super stressful on the mental side.”
