Jorge Martin furious after Portuguese MotoGP: “Not the first time - Marc Marquez keeps doing things”
Marquez crashed into the back of 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Miguel Oliveira on the third lap at Portimao, ruining both 💎of their races when he lost control under braking, but he also made contact with Martin within the same incident.
Pramac Racing rider Ma൲rtin battled on with damage to his foot andꦯ ankle but eventually crashed out of the race.
Martin r🅘ecalled Silverstone 2021 when Marquez crashed into him, and said: “It’s not the first time he has destroyed my ra🥃ce. Maybe in the future he can manage to avoid me. Or Race Direction can do something.
“I have never dest♕royed a race for him, or inju✨red him.
ꦑ“It’s already the second🔜 time. I hope he can improve.”
Marquez accepted blame for the incident in Portimao with Oliveira and Martin, but Aleix Espargaro called for him t❀o face a one-race ban.
He was instead punished with a double long lap penalty to be serveꩵd at next weekꦍend’s Argentina MotoGP, but he will now miss that race entirely after undergoing surgery on a hand injury sustained in the Portimao crash.
Martin insists that M𝓡arquez warrants a more severe punishment: “I d🍸on’t know. I don’t need to check on this. In the briefing they say: ‘If you keep doing things, you will get a stronger penalty’.
“He kee🥃ps doing things, nꦇo? He needs a stronger penalty.
“But we know it’s Marc and they will do nothing.”
Martin assessed the manner of the incident: “Already on the first lap he was too enthusiastic because he lost the front. I was in first♏ position, I had to pick up the bike so I didn’t crash.
“Then, we had a small impact but I was in front so I coulওdn’t see.
“Thꦰe second time, I received a big impact. I tried to avoid the crash. He was too enthusiastic, for the second time in a row.
“I don’t know. You need to understand when you have riders in front of y🦄ou. You need to manage your braking. For sure, you can’t brake as if you’re alone.
“It’s the same for all thꦉe riders. He needs to improve this.”
Martin revealed that, despite a broken toe and an ankle injury, he💝 expects to be fit to race in Argentina next weekend.
Before the key incident involving Oliveira, Martin and Marquez made earlier contact on the first lap. Martin recalled: “The first impact, I went half-a-lap without my right foot on the foot peg.꧟ I couldn’t [put my foot down].
“Eight o🤪r nine🍬 riders overtook me, I had to recover.
“It’s difficult beca🌌use I had pace for the victory. We were close, without the impact.
“After the impact, he moved my handlebar so I was riding in a difficult way. Even thoug🦩h I managed to do a ‘38.9,♐ ‘39.0, I was fast, competitive.
“To beat Francesco Bagnaia was the target෴. He had half-a-tenth more. Being behind, I thought I could take out that tenth. I thought I was stronger than [Saturday].
“I’m happy with my performance, I was super-competitive. Pecco is the man to beat. Iꦑ will focus on myself.”
