“Marquez had mor🎃e race pace,” TNT Sports’ Sylvain Guintoli said about꧃ the battle with Martin.

“He tried to overtake Martin on the straight.

“He has to go on the left side, the outside at Turn 1. Marti﷽n held position. H𒁏e was good on the brakes, just match the guy on the outside on the brakes and there is no way through.

“But Marquez found a solution. Lap 6, he ꦍwent on the other siꦓde.

“When you go on the right side you have to𓆏 be careful that you donℱ’t go too early. “You have to go on the paint, maximum risk. He outbraked Martin.

“Marquez had the pace, similar to Pecco’s. That’s good for to🧸morrow.

“Today was more of an arm-wrestle at distance. Hopefully tomorrow they can be closer and we hav𓄧e a dog-fight!”

Marquez gesture 'sporting, but not friendly'

Marquez is consistently battling the factory-spec Ducatis of B꧒agnaia and Martin 🐓despite adjusting to year-old machinery this season.

His Saturday at Mugello hinted at over🔜coming his major flaw in qualifying too.

“We tend to forget that. Marquez is on the Ducati of last year,” Guintol♎i added.

“Which, at the moment, doesn’t [suit✃] anybody else.

“All of the other riders are really struggling. Di Gia🐽nnantonio fiꦕnished last season in a strong way, Bezzecchi was competitive, Alex Marquez as well.

“The other guys aren’t getting on wit🌼h it. But Marc makes it work.

“His weakest point, until here in Mugello, was qualifying. Now it looks like he’s got the pace ♕with a new tyre, as well.

“W🅰hen he got past, straight away he had the better pace and did𓄧 the fastest lap.

“Marquez has th𝔍e one-lap pace. I get the fee💯ling he is still progressing, still getting better.”

Marquez respectfully patted the victorious Bagnaia mom🥃ents after the cheque🐲red flag.

“Nice to se𒁏e the touch, the gesture,” said Michael Laverty.

“There was bad bloo✤d between these two in P✤ortimao and there will be more, as the season progresses.

“But I li💞ked the gesture from Marc, giving Pecco his dues.”

Guintoli added: “It wasn’t friendly. It was sporti♎ng, but not friendly, no no.

“It’s respec📖t. That’s Marc saying ‘I could not catch you’.

“In his mind h🐲e is thinking ‘wait until ✨tomorrow!’”

Martin’s𝔉 lead at the top o🅰f the championship has been cut to 27 points by Bagnaia.

Marquez is third, 33 points off Martin.

“Pecco meant business,” Laverty analysed.

“He is fired 𓃲up this weekend and the hom🐷e crowd are willing him on.

“He got a fantastic jump off the line. Unfortunately for Vinales, he got s🌳wallowed u🔥p.

“Martin, I though🌜t, would want to respond immediately because he knew the speed that Pecco has had a🗹ll weekend, and he couldn’t afford to let him get a gap.

“Bezzecchi wa🌊s there, matching his pace. Back and forth between Martin and Bezzecchi.

“Martin was then throwing everything a꧋t it - unfortunately he threw too much at it.”

Laverty said about Martin’s crash: “The lap before, Iﷺ noticed he wa꧂s in deep. “Trying to match Marc on the brakes.

“He got in too hot, and the front tucked under. Not big𝄹, in terms of an error.

“But at that stage,🐻 with grip 🌳dropping, he was labouring to match Marc.

“It’s only the second mistake he’s mad🔴e this year in race trim. They don’t want to be making those mistakes. It w💯ill haunt them tonight.”
