After injuring his right foot when he was brutally taken out at Turn 1 of the Silverstone Sprint, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marco Bezzecchi was lucky to avoid another incident at the start of Sunday’s British MotoGP.

Bezzecchi had been launched from his GP23 when friend, fellow Academy member and 2025 VR46 replacement Franco Morbidelli lost control under braking and hit the back of his Desmosedici on Sꦛaturday afternoon.

“[Morbidelli] came to visit me after the session. He apologised. It’s a mistake that pissed me off of course. But what can I say? It had already happened,🍃 so I accept his apology and I'm sure he didn't do it on purpose," Bezzecchi said.

"So in the end, everything is OK."

Mo🅠rbidellඣi received a double long lap penalty by the FIM Stewards for 'riding in an irresponsible manner, causing a crash'.

The Sunday start then saw Brad B🅠inder - starting 🐬two rows ahead of Bezzecchi - slow to a crawl due to a clutch issue with his KTM.

“I almost hit Brad who had an issue with the bike,” Bezzecchi explained. “Jack [Miller] moved at the last second and [then] I almost hit him. So I went a bit backwaꦕrds.”

The evasive act🍷ion cost the Italian several places and he finished the opening lap in 13th, despite Trackhouse team-mates Raul Fernandez and Miguel Oliveira crashi🌺ng out ahead.

Bezzecchi then regained ground by passing Fabio Quartararo, Morbidelli, Maverick Vinales, Ja﷽ck Miller and finally Pedro Acosta.

“During the race the pain was not too bad in the beginning wi🐼th the adrenal🍒ine and everything. But in the last 6-8 laps I started to feel like less sensitivity in all the leg, but especially in the foot,” said the 2025 factory Aprilia rider.

“So it was really tough to und🎃erstand how much rear brake I was using, so this was a little bit the limit. But, apart from this, the race was good.

“The injury was painful, but I could manage. It was more the start that created a problem for me because with🅠out the [scare🅰] with Brad probably I could have been more in front.

“I think this was the biggest issue. The injury wa𒊎s not helping but I tried to survive.”

Team-mat♐e Fabio di Giannantonio finished in fifth place.
