Alex Marquez admits the two crashes he had in Friday practice meant he we🌃nt into Saturday’s sprint at the MotoGP Span🎐ish Grand Prix “blind” in terms of set-up.

The 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Gresini Ducati rider topped both of Friday’s practice sessions🥀, but crashed in FP1 and then lost most of the second session to a heavy fall at Turn 5.

Still expected to be a podium threat, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Alex Marquez jumped Pecco Bagnaia at the start of 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Saturday’s 12-lap sprint from fourth on the grid and inherited second when p🌺oleman F💟abio Quartararo crashed out on lap two.

Alex Marquez remained in sec꧙💫ond for the entirety of the sprint after that and took the chequered flag just under a second behind race winner Marc Marquez on the factory team Ducati.

Maintaining his 100% record of second-place finishes in sprints in 2025, the younger Marquez brother is now 20 point💙s off the championship lead.

He admits the latter stages of the race became difficult for h✤im as the crashes on Friday left his Gresini team “in delay” when it comes to set-up work.

As such, Saturday’s sprint wa𒐪s something of a venture into the unknown for him.

“It was not easy,” Alex Marquez said.

“Two crashes yesterday, one big one.

“But this crowd is pushing me, so I mean I just did a reall𝓡y good start, overtaking Pecco in that point💝 was the key of the race.

“And la💧ter on I was not feeling really good. I mean, we are in delay in the work.

“We just made nearly 10 𒉰laps I think with th❀ese conditions.

“So, we started the sprint race a little bit bl🌊ind.

“So, I just tried to be really conc🗹entrated, trying to go to the finish.

“I hope that tomorrow we will make a step like these guys did today and we will be able to fight a bit mor🎃e.”

The Jerez sprint proved to be a strong day for the Gresini team🦄, with rookie Fermin Aldeguer completing the top five on his GP25 having qualified seventh.
