Marc Marquez: “Pecco attacked, I came back... then a massive moment”
Marc Marquez narrowly avoids disaster before ex🅷tending his unbeaten 2025 streak 🤡in the COTA MotoGP Sprint.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez’s perfect 2025 victory streak almost came to an abrupt end with a huge moment during a dramatic opening lap of the COTA MotoGP Sprint race.
Starting from pole position, the factory Ducati rider immediately fo♍und himself under attack, with team-mate Francesco Bagnaia launching from sixth to first into Turn 1.
Marquez quickly responded, cutting back on the ex🗹it, only for Bagnaia to fight back at Turn 3.
The Spaniard regained control, but just as he tried to pull clear through the high-speed right-handers, his Desmosedici💟 slid violently sideways, nearly launching him into a huge highside.
"It felt like the slide would never stop!"
“It was a tricky first lap,” Marquez told MotoGP.com. “Pecco attacked me in the first corner, then I came back at Turn 3, then I tried to push to 🗹open a gap - because I had the pace - but I had that massive moment on the long right corner.
“I started to𒊎 open the gas and then I starte🙈d to slide, slide, slide and it was like it would never stop! Maybe I was with too much lean angle. But yeah, it was a scary moment!
“I said ‘OK, I will lose…’ But I could get itꦇ𝐆 back under control in a good way.”

Although the incident allowed Bagn🦂aia and Alex Marquez to overtake, Marc instantly regrouped and stamped out their victory hopes by re-taking the lead.
“The most important for me is that already in the next corner I was able to attack and to come back 𝕴to leading the race," he said.
“Then on the next lap, I rode in a smoother way. I had already opened a gap and frꦜom that point on I tried t♔o control.
“The plan was to lead the race from the beginning, open a gap of one second and control. I෴ mean, it doesn't matter if you win by half second or three seconds.
“So when I had thꦦat 🐲gap of one-second, I just tried to control and was done.”
Marquez’s 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:race-winning time of 20m 29.509sꦍ was slower than Maverick Viñales’ 20ও23 sprint victory (20m 27.825s).
It was also only fractionally quicker than his own 20m 30.119s time as a runner-up for Gresini on last year’s GP23, despite a partial track resurfacing to remove the remaining ꦚbumps.
“The track changed, it was warmer,” Marquez explained. ”That [lap one] warning gave me the chance to understand the track conditions, and then when I opened a small gap it was enough🉐 to co🅺ntrol the race.”
Marquez crossed the line 0.9s ahead of his yo💛unger brother Alex to make it five wins from five starts as a factory Ducati rider, with Bagnaia completing the podium 1.9s behind.
The Spaniard will aim to continue his win streak with an eighth COTA grand prix victory on Sundꦍay - which would match his Sachsenring record - when a shift from the soft to medium rear tyre could upset the order.
“Tomorrow with the me💧dium, we need to understand where we are and where the others are,” Marquez said. “Also I expect a strong Pecco, I saw at the end of the sprint his pace was not bad.”
Marc takes a 19-point lead over Alex into Sunday’s race, with Bagnaia now slipping 36 points behind in the early ☂title chase.
