Marc Marquez’s composed and measured ride at the French MotoGP was lauded for its maturity.

Factory Ducati star Marquez 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:came in second, behind underdog winner 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Johann Zarco of the LCR Honda squad.

But, knowing teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Pecco Bagnaia had crashed early, and title rival Alex Marquez had twice fallen too, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez opted for a risk-free f💝inal few laps behind Zarco.

It meant he now sits 22 points clear at the top of the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:MotoGP standings, despite entering Le Mans behind his brother.

“It was coming. We are getting🐽 there,” TNT Sports’ Sylvain Guintoli analysed about Marquez’s mature ride.

“Marc did a controlled rac𒐪e. ☂He did try, when he was about eight seconds behind Zarco.

“He tried to make the gap shrink. This is how y🅺ou can apply the pressure, and maybe push the guy in front to make a mistake.

“It wasn’t to be, so he settled.

“It was an intelligent race. Once again, he took points for the champion𓆏ship and did not push his luck.

“He has made his two mistakes in Austin and Jerez, ⭕𝓡and he doesn’t want to do that again.

“It was important for him to score the big points. It was a championship ride from Ma♔rc.”

Marquez had made errors which resulඣted in crashes out of the Americas MotoGP, and the Spanish MotoGP, which severely hampered his championship challenge and allowed𓄧 rivals to keep up.

But Bagnaia’s ear🌊ly fall, and a ride to 16th, leaves him 51 points shy of leader Marquez.

“It has beꦕen a tough weekend for Pecco. Made worse ꦅby Marc finishing second,” Neil Hodgson said.

Fermin Aldeguer hailed after French MotoGP podium

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Alex Marquez highsided 🌺from t🅠hird place in the wet conditions in the closing stages.

That allowed teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fermin Aldeguer to catch, and overtake, Pedro Acosta to🅷 seal a podiuꦍm finish.

Aldeguer tackled the tricky con♉ditions, in a way that Alex Marquez could not, to complete his best premier clꦿass weekend so far.

“It shows how good Aldeguer is,” Guintoli noted.

“Alex has loads of experience but he got caught.

“He’s one of thꩲe best riders in the wet, with wet Michelin tyr🗹es. He knows them.

“He’s got experience in Le Mans but got caught twice. The second one was massive. 𒅌Fortunately he is unscathed.

“But it’s not good for the championship.”

Michael Laverty added: “A few riders went for the medium ൩rear wet, and that 🌊was Pedro Acosta’s downfall.

“Because, when Aldeguer came through for the podium, y♈ou could see he had more grip and turning. It was slick ಌout there.

“Fair play to Aldeguer. To have the bravery to stay a lap longer on the slicks than the Marquez bꦺrothers.

“He’d struggled in the warm-up, in termsꦇ of feeling, then stood on the podium.”
