Marc Marquez’s composed and measured ride at the French MotoGP was lauded for its maturity.

Factory Ducati star Marquez 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:came in second, behind underdog winner 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Johann Zarco of the LCR Honda squad.

But, knowing teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Pecco Bagnaia had crashed early, and title rival Alex Marquez had twice fallen too, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez opted for a risk𝐆-fr𓄧ee final few laps behind Zarco.

It meant he now sits 22 points clear at the top of the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:MotoGP standings, despite entering Le Mans behind his brother.

“It waܫs coming. We are gettingꦅ there,” TNT Sports’ Sylvain Guintoli analysed about Marquez’s mature ride.

“Marc did a controlled race. H🌄e did try, when he was about eight seconds behind Zarco.

“He tried to make the gap🍃 shrink. This is how you can apply the pressure, and maybe push the guy in front to make a mistake.

“It wasn’t to be, so he settled.

“It was an intelligent race. Once again, he took points for the championship and did n⛎ot push his luck.

“He has made h🐻is two mistakes in Austin and Jerez, and he doesn’t wantꦏ to do that again.

“It was important for him to score the big points. It was a championship ride from Ma♔rc.”

Marquez had made errors which r💦esulted in crashes out of the Americas MotoGP, and the Spanish MotoGP, which severely hampered his championship challenge and allowed rivals to keep up.

But Bagnaia’s early💫 fall, and a ride to 16th, leaves him 5💙1 points shy of leader Marquez.

“It has bee♓n a t🌳ough weekend for Pecco. Made worse by Marc finishing second,” Neil Hodgson said.

Fermin Aldeguer hailed after French MotoGP podium

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Alex Marquez highsi♉ded from third place in the wet conditions in the closing stages.

That allowed teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fermin Aldeguer to catch, and overtake, Pedro Acos💯ta to seal a podium finish.

Aldegue♌r tackled the t൲ricky conditions, in a way that Alex Marquez could not, to complete his best premier class weekend so far.

“It shows how good Aldeguer is,” Guintoli noted.

“Alex has loads of experience but he got caught.

“He’s one of the best riders in th꧒e wet, with wet Michelin tyres.♕ He knows them.

“He’s got experi✨ence in Le Mans but got caught twice. The second one was massive. Fortunately he is unscathed.

“But it’s not good for the championship.”

Michael Laverty added: “A few rider🐎s went for the medium rear wet, and that was Pedro Acosta’s downfall.

“Because, when Aldeguer came through for the podium, ✤you could see he had more grip and turning. It was slick out there.

“Fair play to Aldeguജer. To have the bravery to stay a lap🦹 longer on the slicks than the Marquez brothers.

“He’d struggled in🎀 the warm-up, in terms of feeling, then stood on the p🦹odium.”
