168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Francesco Bagnaia was▨ told he should “respect” the toughest corner in Barcelona, and was criticised for the manner of his crash from꧟ the sprint race.

Bagnaia was the third leader of the Saturday sprint at the Catalunya MotoGP - after Raul Fernandez and Brad Binder - to fa♏ll out of ꧙the race.

It allowed Aleix E🐟spargaro 🍒to win but, crucially for Bagnaia, saw him fall six points further behind in the title fight to leader Jorge Martin.

TNT Sports’ Neil Hodgson analysed his crash: “Unforced error, bizarre. With 0.7s le𒊎ad, you 🍰do not do that!

“Absolutely incredible. It’s a tricky corner, the hardest corner on th꧃e track. But you know that! It’s the danger corner. It’s ‘crash corner’.

“Treat it with respect. Lose a tenth there🐻, it’s okay! You’ve got 0.7s lead, then go defensive near the end of the lap, and you win the race.

“I can’t believe what I have seen.

“𝓡That is ༒a turning point in the championship. He is now a lot of points behind.

“𒁃I know it’s only round ജsix. But you can’t be giving away big points like that.”

Sylvain Guintoli added: “On the last lap, if 🌺you are bored, 0.7s…

“You just don’t normally makeꦛ those kinꦜds of mistakes.

“I know Aleix was keeping the pressure on. But, at this level, Pecco should be able to make a clean lap. Three or four tenths off what he can do, and sওt♛ill get away with it.

“There is absolutely no cha😼nce that P2 is going to get seven tenths on you, and be able to attack as well.

“This just highlight💃s how tricky the trackꦕ conditions were. And how easy it was to make a mistake.

“But ꦆthis was an unforced error from Pecco. He won’t be h🍌appy with this.”

Bagnaia came to Barcelona second in thﷺe MotoGP standings, 38 points from Martin.

But Marc Marquez and Enea Bastianini have overtaken෴ Bagnaia now, who slips to fourth, 44 points from ꦜthe top ahead of Sunday’s grand prix.
