Marco Bezzecchi stuck up for Fabio Quartararo after crash at Spanish MotoGP: “Nothing crazy, we all fight”
Quartararo was stuck between Bezzecchi and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Miguel Oliveira - he made contact with th♈e Italian, before wiping the Portuguese out of the race.
Quartararo༒ was hit with a long lap penalty for the Turn 2 i𒈔ncident, which he insists was unfair, and he has now received the backing of Bezzecchi.
“From my side, I felt somebody hit me,” the Mooney VR46 rider said. “Nℱothing crazy, but I felt it.
“The reason? I don’t know.
“It’s difficult to know specific reasons.
“Everyone fights for the same, w🐲e all want to win, so we all fight for it.
“The first four laps are very, very important. The first four corners are key f꧃or the race.
“For example, on the second start, I was a little more care💝ful. But I completely destroyed the race.
“It’s normal to⛎ sometimes have these kinds of 🧸crashes.”
Bezzecchi insisted he was never in danger of falling due to Quartararo: “I felt 𓆏something but nothing crazy.”
Both of the races in Jerez this weekend produced a red flag. Oliveira was left with a dislocated shoul🌄der from the incident involving Quartararo and Bezzecchi.
“Too aggressive? ꧅For me, it was a situation that was difficult to av🥂oid,” Bezzecchi said about Quartararo.
“The only thing he could do was🌺 to brake a🐼 little bit earlier.
“Because he was in the middle of me and Miguel, from what I ♛saw.
“But I didn’t have time to look.
“Maybe brakiღng a🌞 little bit earlier. But it’s difficult. The space is not so much.
“It’s a mistake that can happ🦩en. I don’t want to say anything [bad] about Fabio.
“There are some tr🐻acks which are more difficult than others. In Texas, no problem.
“Here, the 🔯first corner can be done in many ways. On Saturday I went wide I gained four or ﷽five positions.
“The pack can be wider here.
“From my side, it’s difficult to judge♈. I prefer to ride.”
Bezzecchi entered t𓂃he fourth round of the championship leading the MotoGP standings, having won his first grand prix in Argentina, also the first win for the Mooney VR46 teaܫm.
Valentino Rossi was even in Jerez to oversee the graduat꧑es from his academy and the team that bears his name.
But a costly fall later in the Spanish MotoGP meant that Bezzecchi surrendered his lead in the championship to Francesco B🧸agnaia, the reigning champion and a fellow VR46 Academy graduate, who won the race.
“It was a mistake that I made,” Bezzecchi reflecte💞d on the end of his race. “I braked straight. I leaned earlier than the lap before.
“I lost the front.
“I was finally feeling better because I passeꦛd Alex Marquez, which I’d spent the race [trying to do].
“As soon as I finally pass him, 🅰I made m🥃y best lap. I wanted to close the gap to escape from him.
“And I made a small mistake, unfortunately.”
