168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jorge Martin wins a thrilling duel with reigning champion Francesco Bagnaia for victor♓y in the German MotoGP at Sachsenring, cutting the Italian's title lead.
After breaking clear of the pack, Bagnaia stalked the Pramac rider until a ꩵpass with ten laps to go.
But Martin responded and the pair were literally inseparable by the end of the penultimate lap, when Bagnaia clipped🅘 Martin’s rear wheel!
The Spaniard the꧟n held on to win by just 0.064s, completing a Sachsenring double after Saturday’s Sprin♍t win.
It was Martin's first official MotoGP vict🌊ory since his rookie 2021 season
Johann Zarco completed the podium - despite a last lap sc💛are at Turn 1♌ - in a race that saw Ducati riders fill all but one of the top nine places, the exception being KTM’s Jack Miller in sixth.
Miller had delivered another rocket start to take the hole🌃shot and this time kept Bagnaia at bay through Turn 1.
But a big scare when the rear t🐟yre slid on entry to the Turn 11 waterfall corner,🐻 similar to Marc Marquez's Friday moment, saw the Australian swamped on the exit and down to fourth. Miller would never recover.
Bagnaia’s reign didn’t last long with Martin paღssing him for the lead into the penultimate corner on lap 3 of 30.
However, unlike on Saturday, the Pramac Ducati rider couldn’t escape with Bagnaia tracking his every move - just ♔out of tyre heating range - while Luca Marini led a big chasing pack i♏n third.
Just as in the Sprint,🎐 Miller’s team-mate Brad Binder found himself staring at the rear wheel of the VR46 rider, but this time made a potential podium pass on lap 10.
Binder’s Saturday adversary Johann Zarco demoted Marini to fifth soon after and the pair were poised to reignite their last-lap Sprint battle… until Binder ran wide into Turn 9 and crashed out at high sp🐻eed witꦿh 12 laps to go. That put Zarco onto the podium, ahead of Marco Bezzecchi.
Up fℱront, Bagnaia continued to loiter just over half-a-second behind Martin in what was now clearly a victory 🌺duel.
Bagnaia briefly moved within striking di💧stance at the midway stage but couldn’t afford to sit too close to the Spaniard for long due to the risk of overheaℱting his front tyre in the dirty air.
With no pass forthcoming, Bagnaia returned to the safe half-second buffer until closing back onto Martin’s rear wheel with 10 laps to go. The reigning champion then repeated Martin’s earlier pass on ꧅the exit of the Waterfall and into the penultimate corner to retake the lead.
But Martin kept his hopes of a counterattack ⭕alive by sticking to Bagnaia’s red machine, th❀en landed a retaliatory blow with another pass into the same Turn 12 with six laps remaining.
Running the same hard front, medium rear tyre combination, th𓂃e Pramac rider’s fairing design was the only significant technical difference between them.
Martin thwarted another Turn 12 pass with three laps to go, then parked his GP23 defensively on the inside of Turn 1 as thജe penultimate lap began – before Bagnaia clipped Martin’s rear wheel at the final corner!
That gave Martin a 0.3s advantage for the start of the last lap and, after a wise defensive line into the final turn,꧑ held on to victory by just 0.064s!
Fabio Quartararo and Monster Yamaha team-mate Franco Morbidelli were both running a (different) rear༺ seat wing after 12th and 15th places in the Sprint, but were just 12th (Morbidelli) and 13th (Quartararo) in the main race. Quartararo, like Aleix Espargaro, likely suffered by running the soft rear.
Maverick Vinales, who cꦺrashed from the Sprint, was forced out by an early engine failure🥂 on his Aprilia.
All riders except Aleix Espargaro and Quartararo (soft rea🍬rs) used the hard front tyre and medium rear.
After suffering 'a very small fracture in the first finger of his left hand' during a fifth fall of the weekend, in warm-up, Marc Marquez was declared fit to race but - to no great surprise - 168🧸澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:instead opted to withdraw from the Grand Prix.
Practice for the Dutchꦇ TT at Assen, the final event before the MotoGP summer break, starts on Friday morning.

Germany was the nadir of Francesco Bagnaia's 2022 world championship season, slipping 91 points from Fabio Quartararo after an early fall before fighting back to take the title in the second half of the year.
Sachsenring is Marc Marquez’s most successful circuit, with eleven wins at the German Grand Prix, including eight in the MotoGP class. Absent last season due to arm surgery, when Quartararo took victory, Marquez hadn’t been beaten at the tight and twisty anti-clockwise circuit since 2009 in 125cc.
Marquez's Repsol Honda team-mate Joan Mir remains sidelined by a hand injury from Mugello last weekend. LCR Honda's Alex Rins was also absent after fracturing his right tibia and fibula in Italy. The COTA winner won't be fit to return until after the summer break. Rins' team-mate Takaaki Nakagami was handed a Kalex chassis for the first time this weekend, but injured his hand on Friday.
GASGAS Tech3’s Pol Espargaro has abandoned a planned return in Germany and was again replaced by KTM test rider Jonas Folger, meaning a home rider was taking part in the premier class. Espargaro is also thought unlikely to be fit for next weekend's Assen round.
Older brother Aleix, diagnosed with two broken bones in his right heel after struggling with bicycle injuries throughout the Mugello weekend, limped away from a crash at turn one afte⭕r just ten minutes.

Peter has been in the paddock for 20 years an༒d has seen Valentino Rossi come and go. He is at the forefront of the Suzuki exit story and Marc Marquez’s injury issues.
