Ducati gave 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Francesco Bagnaia a few days of peace to get over his disappointing incident with 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez.

The Portuguese MotoGP was lit up by Bagnaia’s unsuccessful attempt t♛o overtake Marquez in th𝓀eir battle for P5.

Reigning MotoGP champion Bagnaia crash๊ed out, while Marquez was able to clamber back to finishꦬ the race but his hope of points was extinguished.

“In cases like these, you let some time pass, a few days,” explained Davide Tardozzi, ✱the Ducati team manager.

Tardozzi said about the clash between two Ducati riders: “Without a ꦓdoubt it was a racing incident.

“It's clear that in certain situations it would be better to stay calmer, but the𒁏 two riders explained themselves so I th🦄ink it's something resolved and closed with a handshake.

"When a six-time MotoGP champion and a two-time MotoGP champion find ꦉthemselves fighting, it's clear that neither of them wants to give up: these are good things for the spectators but they also have an end."

It was 💎deemed a racing incident by🅺 the stewards, which Bagnaia and Marquez agreed with.

How Ducati manage any lingering fallou൩t could be key to Bagnaia’s title defenc🍨e.

Claudio Domenicali, the 💟Ducati CEO, was asked about it and he replied: “I understand that they ✤like the topic as a journalistic cue, but I try not to get pulled into the controversy if I can. I don’t bite.”

The good ܫnews for Ducati is that Pramac’s Jorge Martin leads the championship after two rounds.

Enea Bastianini🅺, Bagnaia’s teammate in the🧜 factory team, finished second to Martin in the Portuguese MotoGP.

Bastianini 𝓀is third in the standings in a year where heꦦ must salvage his 2025 Ducati spot.

“I be🉐lieve that En𓂃ea is rediscovering the speed of 2022,” Tardozzi insisted.

“Just as I believe that in Austin he will be able♊ to be a protagonist again and fꦜight for victory.

“He is giving us the satisfaction he deserves, and that we thought he could give us when we𒉰 decided to confirm him, despite a disastrous 2023 through no fault of his."
