Alex Marquez has admitted to having a “moment of illusion” in the Aragon MotoGP Sprint after he saw Marc Marquez spin off tꦇhe start line.

The factory Du✤cati rider started from🔥 pole position, but was third after turn one due to his poor launch.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Alex Marquez said after the race that he thought his championship leading brother had perhaps dropped to the lower end of the top-10, and thought that a win was o♔n the cards for ꦚhim.

“I had a moment of illusion, of ‘Okay, I can win,’” the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Gresini Racing rider said after the Aragon MotoGP Sprint.

“When I saw him [168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez] spinning on the start, I thought 🌜maybe he was in trouble, maybe he would [drop to] P8 or P9, something like that, and I can make way.

“But he said to me that h🐈e wasඣ third already in the first corner, so he didn’t lose a lot because here it’s [not far] from the start to the first corner.

“I was just trying to make a gap, thinking that M꧑arc [Marquez] was a little bit more far, but also to make a gap with Morbidel♔li and the other guys. So, the first four laps were good, later on I took it a little bit easier; I saw that Marc was behind, he overtook me.

“So, just try to arrive to the end, take information, 💞just like ‘one more’.

“So, we continue because here it’s true th🦂at the risk you need to take to beat Marc is too hig🌠h, so it doesn’t really have sense to [try] because you will take it and maybe it will not be even enough.”

Looking to Sunday’s Grand P🐲rix, Marquez admitted that he is counting ✱on the unpredictable nature of motorcycle racing to give him a shot at beating Marc Marquez over 22 laps.

“We are in a sport that 🌱things can always happen,” he said꧟.

“We will try as we tried today: to make our best, to be there, to be fast, but [with everything normal] it will be difficult to beat Ma🌼rc.

“But many things can happen.

“We will try to make our best, to be there.

“Also it will not be easy to be second: we 🎀saw at the end Fermin [Aldeguer] really fast, also I was exp൲ecting more from Franco [Morbidelli] who in FP2 was really fast on the used soft rear [tyre], but he was in trouble a little bit [in the Sprint].

“We need to be really concentrated if we want tomorrow to be in P2. If we have a chance to🗹 beat Marc, I wilꦺl try.”
