168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Francesco Bagnaia stuck to his strategy in the Spanish MotoGP to out-duel 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez and secure his second grand prix win of 2024.
Bagnaia, who made a stunning double overtake on Marco Bezzecchi and Jorge Ma🍸rtin on the outside of turn six [lap one], then took the lead from Marquez before the opening lap was over.
The world champion then made a mistake at turn 13 on lap two, giving title rival ๊Jorge Martin the lead, however, Bagnaia was superb from that point forward.
Despite being slower than Marquez late on, Bagnaia used similar tacti🌜cs to Aragon 2021 when he snapped back at Marquez every time the Gresini ri🌞der made an attempt to take the lead.
Discussing his stratꦬegy, Bagnaia said: “When I saw that Marc was behind I pushed for two laps and I did 37.8s, but I saw that he was gaining.
“So I thought to not s𝔉tress too much✃ the tyres in that moment because he was catching. I just tried to have a bit more tyre for the last three laps.
“As soon as he made the second attempt at corner nine I tried to push again from that moment. And the 37.4s arrived. It helpe🎀d a lot to grow a bit of a gap in the last lap.”
Bagnaia, who has already crashed out of a race this season (Portimao) following contact with Marquez, was in no mood to back down as the pair coll﷽ided again at turn ten in Jerez.
That came one day after Bagnaia was taken down during a collis♒ion with Brad Binder and Bezzecchi.
Other accidents took place during ღthe grand prix, but Bagnaia does not believe racing is too aggres🐓sive in MotoGP.
Asked if he’s comfortable with how close racing is at the moment, Bagnaia said: “Y🎃es because what happened yesterday wasn’t what happened in Portimao. So🐎metimes the battles are more intense.
“We can have contact because it is harder to have a normal overtake right now๊ because everyone is very stron꧒g under braking.
“It is easy to brake hard like this and the guy🔥 who is on the inside is going wider, so you have to try to clos﷽e the line. It is something that can happen right now.”
The caveat to that being respect should always be given, as✅ Bagnaia believes that’s fundamental to providing good racing.
For me, respect is always the most impo꧃rtant thing,” added the world champion. “When there is respect there is a show and fun.
“Without respect it is i༒mpossible to have a nꦯice battle and to enjoy it.”
