Ducati MotoGP rider Marc Marquez admits his crash out of the Spanish Grand Prix was “a mistake” but one “I don’t understand” b♚ecause “I was cruising”.

The 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:factory Ducati rider didn’t get a good launch from second on the grid and dropped behind team-mate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Pecco Bagnaia.

This led to a hard battle frᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚom Turn 7 to Turn 11, which ended in slight contact and Bagnaia holding the position.

Then on lap three, while running third still, Marquez crashed go📖ing through Turn 8.

He rejoined the race to finish 12th, but is now one point off new championship leader Alex Marquez 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:following his maiden victory.

It’s the second time this season 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez has crashed while in con🀅tention for victory, but unlike in America he says he doesn’t have an obvious explanation for this one.

“It’s a mistake and we need to learn about it and try to avoid it for th🍰e future if we want tꦬo fight for the championship,” he said.

“We have a lot of speed, but one more time… Aust🌺in I understood why I crashed, but today I don’t understand.

“I need to analyse it because I was not attacking, I was cruising just like I did in the f☂irst races behind them because that I 💟know that the second part of the race is my strong point.

“But it’s like this, we need to accept it.”

Offering some theoriesꦚ on why he crashed, Marquez added: “Just maybe൲ - I didn’t check the data - but maybe I was one degree more angle.

“I was behind two rid🔯ers a✤nd it was maybe the first time in the weekend I was behind riders, and maybe the bike changed a bit and I didn’t think about it.

“So, for that reason I made that mis🃏take. The important thing is the speed is there, but we need to avoid the mistakes.”

Coming off his fifth s♕uccessive sprint win in 2025 on Saturday at Jerez and showing strong pace on used tyres in Friday practice, Marquez’s crash likely threw away another victory chance.

But he doesn’t see this as a 🐽negative because he fell while clearly showing he has good speed.

“It makes me happy,” he replied when asked if his pace made his crash more frustrat༺ion.

“Of course, if you d๊on’t have the pace and you crash you have two things to fix: the crash plus the pace.

“The pace is there, but just we need to a♛void the mistakes. Of course, ꦐthe second part of the race was my strong point.

“But [I need to] try to learn for the future.♎ But inside the drama, we are only one point behind the leader, which is the most important thing.🍰”

On his battle with Bagnaia, Marquez added: “It﷽ was a good one. In the first lap everybody knows it’s super important and here in Jerez we had small contact bet๊ween Turn 11.

“But 𒈔apart from that it wꦿas a good fight and unlucky we couldn’t continue it to the end.”

Marquez came to parc ferme at the end of the race to celebrate with hiღs younger brother Alex after his first MotoGP win, which he says was the only positive from his race.

“It’s the only thing that today I have a small smile and I’m super happy and super proud for him, especia🗹lly because he worked super hard to win a race in Mo𒀰toGP,” he added.

“It was one of the targets o📖f his career. He won the race, he’s leading again the championship, he’s riding in an amazing way. So, I’m proud of him.”
