The recent COTA MotoGP weekend saw 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez pull off a big sa🌠ve on the opening lap of the Sprint race🃏.

That came after losing the rear, almost sending him into a highside, before Ma⛎rquez swiftly regained control and tookꦏ his win streak to five in a row.

But Mar🔯quez is more famous for his ability to save massive front-end slides, lifting the bike back under control even when it looks to have gone well beyond the point of no return.

So where did it all begin?

“I remember exactly the first save. It was 2010, at Turn 3 in Barcelona,” Marquez recalled. “I said, 'Ah! Maybe 🎉I'm able to save crashes!'

Turn 3 is a sweeping 180-degree right-hander following the opening chicane, while 2010✃ was Marquez’s breakthrough season in the 125cc class.

After just two podiums from his pre𝓰vious world championship campaigns, Marquez swept to his first world title with ten wins for the Red Bull Ajo team, including Catalunya.

The young Span💙iard further developed his skill when he moved to the Moto2 class in 2🅷011, riding a Suter chassis notorious for severe chatter.

“Especially in M𝔍oto2, I saved a lot of crashes because we had massive chatter with that [Suter] bik😼e, and with the chatter, I was always playing with the elbow to save those crashes,” Marquez said.

Marc Marquez: “You can experiment”

Motocross and dirt track, always a large part of Marquez’s training, are where the eight-time world champion says🍃 he 'experiments' with the boundaries of bike control.

“It's important,” the Ducati Lenovo rider said of his off-road training. “More than sliding, it's about understandinꦆg what you need to do ♔in every situation.

“In road racing, most of the laps are with the same movement, same slide,ဣ same way to turn the bike.

“But in flat track, dirt track, motocross, every lap is different🍃, and you can experiment a bit easier.

“For example, when I train with my Panigale, I never experiment with things, because a small mistake i🦋s big damage.

“But in flat tr🍒ack and motocross, you can experiment and you can push the limits.”

Not all slide♔s can be saved of course, with Mar🃏quez suffering his first falls of the season at COTA.

The second accident, after cutting a kerb while leading the gꦅrand prix, means he is now one point behind young br♉other Alex heading into this weekend’s Qatar Grand Prix.
