Alex Marquez admits th🦩e two crashes he had in Friday practice meant he went into Saturday’s sprint at the MotoGP Spanish Grand Prix “blind” in terms of set-up.

The 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Gresini Ducati rider topped both of Friday’s practice sessions, but 🅰crashed in FP1 and then lost most of the second session to a heavy fall at Turn 5.

Still expected to be a podium threat, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Alex Marquez jumped Pecco Bagnaia at the start of 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Saturday’s 12-lap sprint from fourth on the grid and inherited second when poleman Fabiꦏo Quartararo crashed out༒ on lap two.

Alex Marquez remained in second for the entirety of the sprint after that and took the chequered flag just under a second behind race winner Marc Marquez on the factory te🎃am Ducati.

Maintaining his 100% record of second-place fiಌnishes in sprints in 2025, the younger Marquez brother is now 20 points 🦹off the championship lead.

He admits the latter stages of the race bec𓆉ame difficult for him as the crashes on Friday left his Gresini team “in delay” when it comes to set-up work.

As such, Saturday’s sprint was something of a venture into the unknown for🔯 him.

“It was not easy,” Alex Marquez said.

“Two crashes yesterday, one big one.

“But this crowd is pushing me, so I mea💧n I just did a really ♓good start, overtaking Pecco in that point was the key of the race.

“And later on I was🐠 not feeling really good. I mean, we are in delay in the work.

“We just made nearly 10 laps I🐬 think with these conditions.

“So, we started the sprint race a little 😼bit blind.

“So, I just tried to be re𒅌ally concentrated, trying to✱ go to the finish.

“I hope that tomorrow we will make a step like these guys did today and we will be able to fight a bitꦬ more.”

The Jerez sprint proved to be a strong day for the Gresini team, with rookie Feꦓrmin Aldeguer completing the top five on his GP25 having qualified seventh.
