168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez raised eyebrows by seemingly gesturing for Fabio di Giannantonio to overtake him in the Dutch MotoGP.

The Gresini rider apparently yielded position on Lap 8 at Assen, as they j🐬ockeyed for a podium finish.

Gresini’s Marquez crossed the fin🔥ish line in fourth, and VR46’s Di Giannantonio fifth, in the grand prix won by factory Ducati rider Pecco Bagnaia.

Marquez was later hit with a 16-second time p𓂃enalty for breaching tyre pressure. He droppedꦏ from fourth to 10th.

TNT Sports’ Sylvain Guintoli believes Marquez waved Di Giannantonio🔯 past in an ultimately futile attempt to avoid a tyre pressure penalty.

“Very likely. To me, it’s what 𝄹it looks𒆙 like,” he said.

“It’s the first time we’ve seen a rider make an obvious move to tไry to be behind ✤somebody.

“If we explain that very quickly: riders and teams have minimum front tyre pressure that they have to respect. Th💝ey can’t be under 1.8 bars during 40% of the race.

“They 🌠also have warnings on the dashboard if they have not completed enough laps above that threshold.

“The way to make the fr🌄ont tyre go up in pressure is to be following somebody.

“Because that guy will take𓆉 the clean air from you, and you will get the hot air from his bike.

“Therefore your temperature a💞nd pressure inside the front tyre will go up.

“We sawꦓ both - Di Gi🌱annantonio and Marquez - blatantly not want to lead the pack.

“This would suggest that this was the issue…

“If they were doing that, it means🎀 they were r♔eally on the limit.”

Michael 🏅Laverty said about Marquez: “He was hoping to hang onto the GP24 Ducatis.

“The gap opened up and 🦹he had to get creative to ꦬkeep his tyre in that range.”

Marquez is now 51 points behind championship leader Jorge Martin, who finished💝 second behind Bagnaia in the Dutch MotoGP.
