Marc Marquez weak moment wasn't capitalised upon by Alex Marq🐟uez

Marc Marquez’s “weaker” moment during the sprint race at the Qatar MotoGP was not capitalised upon by 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Alex Marquez.
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez converted pole position into victory on ℱSaturday at the Lusail circuit but not without a battle against his brother on Lap 1.
Gresini rider Alex briefly overtook but factory D🍸ucati star Marc reclaimed the position - it was a pivot🍬al moment for the younger brother, he has been told.
🦩“With Alex, that was his opportunity when Marc was a bit weaker in the first two laps,” TNT Sports’ Michael Laverty said.
“But 🦄he couldn’t capitalise. He couldn’t make it stick.
“The problem is that on the first lap you have a heavy fuel load (although it was half-distance💯 so half-fuel load).
“The bike is pushing in. You’ve got a tꦫail wind wit🌜h the slipstream.
“He goes a little wide. That le🀅aves the door open to Marc. He should have gone back - he call🀅ed it, he should have been aggressive and immediately responded.
“From t🔥here, 😼he may have been able to hold Marc back.
“He will recalibrate and go again.”
Alex Marquez admitted: “I believe in the first laps I haꦍd more. I wanted to overtake to make a gap, to be calm and to fight with him.
“But he was be🧔tter than me, he was mor🐻e brave in some parts.
“Where normally he struggles, he was super fast.”
Marc will line up on pole, with Alexജ second, in the grand prix in Qatar on💎 Sunday.
'What happened' to Pecco Bagnaia?
Pecco Bagnaia’s disastrous weekend, on a circuit which was sဣupposed to suit him, continued on Saturday.
He qualifi♐ed 11th after crashing, then finished the sprint ⭕in eighth.
“Unbelievable,” 🐠Sylvain Guintoli said. “What happened?
“The last time heও was on the bike he fell off in qualifying.
“In those circumstances, the team have to rebui🧸ld the bike or swap the bike. So maybe something wasn’t right with the feel.
“It took him too much time to get into gear.”
Bagnaia later 16🐭8澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:blamed his fܫactory Ducati’s fuel tank.
Hope for Jorge Martin and Fabio Quartararo?
Jorge Ma📖rtin’s first sp൲rint of the year due to injury, and his first on an Aprilia, ended in P16.
“He had to g🌸rit his teeth,” Laverty assessed. “You could see he was having a go, riding 🙈like the old Jorge, but he couldn’t push through the pain barrier.
“He had to pull it back. But he got through it, got some data, he was fast a𝔍nd matching his teammate until fatigue set in.”
Sunday’s longer race could feature 🍸extra challengers at the 🐼front, it has been predicted.
Yamaha’s Fabio Qua🤡rtararo could sustain his fight from third on the starting grid.
“The VR46 riders will think they’veᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚ got mo🦩re to give,” Laverty said.
“But it will be d𒆙ifferent. We expec🐭t everyone to be on the medium tyre. It’s 22 laps.
“Fuel consumption and tyre consumption [are important] here. It will be a different race൲, it might bring Fabio Quartararo in.
“The Ducatis could blast past him but that won’t be the case, as much, [on Sunday]. He will have someth♐ing to fight with.”
