The recent COTA MotoGP weekend saw 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez pꦫull off a big save on the opening lap of the Sprint rac🤡e.

That came after losing the rear, almost sending ꦛhim into a highside, before Marquez swiftly regained control and took his win streak to five in a row.

But Marquez is more famous for his ability to save massive front-end slides, lifting the bike back under control even when it looks 💫to have gone well beyond the point of no return.

So where did it all begin?

“I remember exactly the first save. It was 2010, at Turn 3 in Barcelona,” Marquez recalled. “I said, 'Ah! Maybe I'm able to save cr𒀰ashes!'

Turn 3 is a sweeping 🍨180-degree right-hander following the opening chicane, while 𒊎2010 was Marquez’s breakthrough season in the 125cc class.

After just two podiums from♚ his previous world championship campaigns, Marquez swept to his first world title with ten wins ღfor the Red Bull Ajo team, including Catalunya.

Theℱ young Spaniard further developed his skill when he moved to the Moto2 classꦿ in 2011, riding a Suter chassis notorious for severe chatter.

“Especially in Moto2, I saved a lot of crashes because we had massive cha🌳tter with that [Suter] bike, and with the chatter, I was always playing with the elbow to save those crashes,” Marquez said.

Marc Marquez: “You can experiment”

Motocross and dirt tra🧜ck, always a large part of Marquez’s training, are where the eight-time world champion says he 'experiments' with the boundaries of bike control.

“It's important,” the Ducati Lenovo rider said of his off-road training. “🍰More than sliding, it's about understanding what you need to do in every situation.

“In road racing, most of the laps are with the same movement, same slide, same way to turn the🐈 bi🐭ke.

“But in flat track, dirt track, motocross, ๊every lap is different, and you can experiment a bit easier.

“For example, when I tr♛ain with my Panigale,🐲 I never experiment with things, because a small mistake is big damage.

“Butౠ in flat track and motocross, you can experiment and you can push the limits.”

Not all slides can be saved of course, with Marquez suffering his fi✨rst falls of the season at COTA.

The s🔯econd accident, after cutting a kerb while leading the grand prix, means he is now one point behind young brother Alex heading into this weekend’s Qatar Grand Prix.
