*Rookie.
The 2023 MotoGP world championship has a new title leader after victory for 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jorge Martin in the Mandalika Sprint was combined with a lowly eighth for Francesco Bagnaia, overturninꦉg the reigning champion's slim pre-race advantage.
💮Martin fought his way from sixth on the grid to take the lead from Aprilia’s Maverick Vinales with five laps remaining.
A struggling Vinales continued to fade and wa꧟s overtaken by injured VR46 Ducati riders Luca Marini, who quali𝕴fied on pole, and Marco Bezzecchi in the closing stages.
Starting just 13th on the grid, his worst of the season, after failing to progress past Qualifying 1, reigning cham🅷pion Bagnaia's three-point lead over Martin was in obvious danger.
Bagnaia, whose recent braking issues seem to have continued despite ༒previous claims of a fix, gaine♚d three early positions when Marc Marquez crashed out, then Aleix Espargaro fell and brought down Brad Binder.
But the Italian was stil♐l only eighth by mid-distance, where he remained to the flag, crossing the line just behind Ducati team-mate Enea Bastianini.
Yamaha's Fabio Quartararo began the race from🥀 fꦬourth, his equal-best qualifying of the season, and held an early podium place but couldn’t contain the charging Ducatis around him.
Repsol Honda’s Marc Marquez crashed out moments after passing Aleix Espargaro for sixth on the opening lap. Espargaro, fastest on Friday, then lost the front while trying to pass Brad 𝓡🐻Binder into Turn 16, taking the KTM rider down with him. The FIM Stewards declared it had been a racing incident.
All riders chose the soft re♏ar tyre in the 60-degree track temperature. Seven riders ran the hard front, including Bagnaia and Binder, with the rest on the soft option.
Jorge Martin came into the Sprint having o▨utscored Bagnaia for theඣ past seven races in a row.
The Mandalika circuit has been resurfaced (again) since last year’s race. There has been no prior MotoGP testing on the latest asphalt, while the extreme temperatures mean Michelin brings special heat-resistant stiffer construction rear tyres (as well as for the hard front).
Marco Bezzecchi’s title hopes took another blow when he fractured his collarb🍷one in a training accident last weekend, the 🌞same injury suffered by team-mate Luca Marini when he hit the back of Bezzecchi at the start of the Indian Sprint.
Undergoing surger⭕y on Sunday, Bezzecchi has joined team-mate Marini 🌞in a return to action this weekend.
Also attempting comebacks this weekend were LCR Honda’s Alex Rins (broken leg at Mugello), Lenovo Ducati’s Enea Bastianini (hand and ankle injuries at Catalunya) and Gresini Ducati’s Alex Marquez (fractured ribs in India). However, Alex Marquez withdrew due to the pain after Friday’s FP1.
Marini and Bastianini both have a long lap penalty waiting t🐈o be served on Sunday, for causing the multi-rider accidents that left them injured🧸.

P💮eter has been in the paddock fo⛄r 20 years and has seen Valentino Rossi come and go. He is at the forefront of the Suzuki exit story and Marc Marquez’s injury issues.
