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 the Itali💦an, before wiping the Por💧tuguese out of the race.
Quartararo was hit with a long lap penalty for the Turn 2 incident, which he insists was unfair, and he has now received the backing 🎐of Bezzecchi.
“From my side, I fe𝔉lt somebody hit me,” the Mooney VR46 rider said. “Nothing crazy, but I felt it.
“The reason? I don’t know.
“It’s difficult to know specific reasons.
“Everyone fi💝ghts for the same, we all want to win, so we all fight for it.
“The first four laps are very, very important. The first four corners are key forꦅ💛 the race.
“For example, on th❀e second start, I was a little more careful. But I comp🤡letely destroyed the race.
“It’s normal to sometimes🍸 ꦐhave these kinds of crashes.”
ꦗBezzecchi insisted 🉐he was never in danger of falling due to Quartararo: “I felt something but nothing crazy.”
Both of the races in Jerez this weekend produced a re🌸d flag. Oliveira was left with a♚ dislocated shoulder from the incident involving Quartararo and Bezzecchi.
“Too aggressive? For me, it was a situation that was difficult to avoid,” Bezzecchi said ab🐬out Quartararo.
“The only thin🍎g he coul൲d do was to brake a little bit earlier.
“Because he was i✱n the middle of me and Miguel, from what I saw.
“But I didn’t have time to look.
“ꦇMaybe braking a little bit earlier. But it’s difficult.✃ The space is not so much.
“It’s a mistake that can happen. I don’t want to say anything [bad] ab🗹out𓂃 Fabio.
“There🍃 are some tracks which are more🐲 difficult than others. In Texas, no problem.
“Here,ꦛ 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 si𝕴de, it’s difficult to judge. I prefer to ride.”
Bezzecchi entered the fourthꦦ round of the championship leadin💎g the MotoGP standings, having won his first grand prix in Argentina, also the first win for the Mooney VR46 team.
Valentino Rossi was even in Jerez to oversee the graಌduates from𓃲 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 Bagnaia, the reignin🌌g ch🌌ampion and a fellow VR46 Academy graduate, who won the race.
“It was a mistake that I made,” Bezzecchi reflected on the end of his rac🐼e. 🧜“I braked straight. I leaned earlier than the lap before.
“I lost the front.
“I was finally feeling better because I passed Alex Marqu🍬ez, which I’d spent the race [trying to do].
“As soon♊ as I finally pass him, I made my best lap. I wanted to close the gap to ꦐescape from him.
“And I made a small mistake, unfortunately.”
