Marc Marquez may have lost out to Andrea Dovizioso by just 0.023s in Sunday's Qatar MotoGP, but the Repsol Honda rider didn't want to dwell 📖on the possibility of being handed victory by a post-race protest.
Speaking before the protest against the wing on Ducati's swingarm had been rejected by the FIM Stewards, but168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: la🌞ter referred to the MotoGP Court of Appeals, Marquez said:
"I just tried to do my 100 perce꧋nt on the track. Today there was one rider faster💦 than me and it was Dovizioso. So he beat me."
The protest over the wing was made against the GP19 machines of Dovizioso, team-mate Danilo Petrucci (sixth) and Pramac's Jack Miller🍌 (DNF) by the factory Aprilia, KTM, Honda and Suzuki teams.
Dovizioso hadn't had time to try the new aerodyna꧟mic parts until Sunday in Qatar and, straight after the race, said he couldn't feel any difference when using the rear wing and a further aero tweak on the front wheel.
It had been thought that the swingarm device dir༒ected air onto the 𝓀rear tyre to help prevent overheating of the rubber, but this was denied on Saturday by Petrucci, who nonetheless said he couldn't reveal the real purpose.

"I can’t tell you because Gigi gets angry," Petr൲ucci said. "We saw on television♑ that they said it was to cool down the rear tyre, but in fact that is not the real reason.
"There is also another [aero] part on the front. I asked 🍒what is its purpose, but unfortunately I cannot tell you as it is my contract.
"There are some small 🔥changes riding the bike but not as big as we 🌌expected."
Meanwh🔯ile, Marquez also didn't want t📖o blame his healing shoulder for the final-turn defeat.
"No [it didn't limit༺ me]," he said. "For the🅘 physical condition, the race was easy because the pace was very slow in the beginning. For me it was much better, also for the tyres.
"With the shoulder, you feel like the muscles are working in a diౠfferent way, but for riding style, it's okay."
Another piece o꧟f Ducati tech, the holeshot device, was also used on Sunday.
"Yes… It was good, but maybe for Jack even better," said Dovizioso𝄹, as the pair rocketed to first and second at turn one.
The horizontal lines on the barrier clearly show the rear of the🍌 bike squat down when the holeshot device is activated.
