Maverick Vinales: “Plenty of room” in Pecco practice start "scare"
“When I saw the crash, I said ‘maybe I touched him’. But then I saw the re▨play”

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Maverick Vinales insisted he did nothing unusual in the practice start incident that saw title contender 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Francesco Bagnaia crash after the chequered flag on Friday morning at the Barcelona MotoGP finale.
Vinales🔥 put an outside pass on a slow-moving Bagnaia in the Turn 1 braking zone.
Although there was no contact, Bagnaia was startled by the move, grabജbed his front brake and fell.
“My mistake was to slow down that much, but honestly when🦩 you are arriving that fast you go to the inside,” Bagnaia said.
“So I start🦹ed to hear him, and I thought ‘Okay, he 🦂will go to the inside’.
“But as soon as I saw him arriving with enormous speed on the outside, on the kꦑerb, with the bike mov෴ing, I got scared, so I lost the front like this.”
Vinales high🍌lighted that the purpose of a practice start is not only to launch off the line but to understand the correct braking point for Turn 1.
“For me, it's not about who is at fault,” said the Aprilia rider. “In the end, a practice start is to practice the start, so you arrive at the first corner trying to disengage [the holeshot devices as in a real staไrt] ♉so you brake late.
“I saw Pecco was in the middle, very slow. I don't know why. And I tried to avoid him. I went to the outside, but I ga🌜ve like two bikes [space]. I didn't even pass𝔍 close-close.
“When I saw the crash, I🧸 said ‘maybe I touched him’, I don't know🐻.
“But then I saw the replay and there was plenty of room. I think he got may🧸be scared or something. He grabbed the front brake and locked the front tyre.”
Bagnaia, seeking to overturn a big 24-point title advantage for Jorg🌟e Martin this weekend, later f♑inished on top of the Friday afternoon timesheets with Vinales in sixth.
“We are through to🐠 Q2, so that's a good thing,” said Vinales. “Unfortunat𝔉ely, on the last time attack, I had two yellow flags, so I could not make the lap.
“Bജut from my point of view, we are more competitive here✱ than in May."
But can Vinale🍌s, the only rider to defeat the Ducatis in a grand prix this season courtesy of his COTA victory, take them on in this weekend's final RS-GP appearance?
“I wish I could, but I don't know. It’s like always, if I'm looking at the lap times today, I will tell you I can fight with them.♑ But let's see tomorrow,” he said. “I don't know the improvement they're going t💯o make.”
Team-mate Aleix Espargaro was third fastest.

Peter has been in the padd🗹ock for 20 years and has seen Valentino Rossi come and go. He is at the forefront of the Suzuki exit story and Marc Marquez’s injury issues.
