168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jorge Martin pulls off an upset by beating title rival 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Francesco Bagnaia to victory in the Italian’s home 2024 San Marino MotoGP Sprint race.

Martin made a rocket start from fou🌞rth to lead pole qualifier Bagnaia through the opening chicane with Franco𝔍 Morbidelli, Brad Binder and front-row qualifier Marco Bezzecchi in pursuit.

Whꦛile Martin, Bagnaia and Morbidelli pulled away, Binder was left to fight a losing battle against Enea Bastianini and the ෴fellow KTM of Pedro Acosta.

Martin’s pace broke Bagnaia’s challenge in the closing laps for his fಌir🎉st Sprint win since Germany, increasing his title lead to 26 points. 

That means Martin will still be on tꦯop of the standings whatever happens in Sunday’s race.

An unhappy🦹 Bagnaia, who later spoke of a 'disaster' start, crossed the finish line just a few tenths clear of Morbidelli.

Morbidelli had been embroiled in a duel with Bastianini to keep tꦑhe final pod❀ium place as the last lap began. Bastianini passed on the brakes at Turn 8, but ran wide and Morbidelli celebrated his first MotoGP top three since 2021.

Starting ninth after a qualify🦂ing crash, Marc Marquez finished tꦿhe opening lap in the same position on his way to fifth, passing Binder and Acosta in the closing stages.

VR46 t♛eam-mates Bezzecchi and Fabio di Giannantonio both crashe🐽d out within the opening four laps.

All riders chose the medium compound front tyre and soft rear. The mediu🎃m rear is expected for Sunday’s full length raceဣ.

Pol Espargaro is making his third race weekend appeara🀅nce of the season for KTM, with HRC test rider Stefan Bradl also entered as a wild-card this weekend.

Misano is hosting two consecutive MotoGP rounds this season, starting with this weekend’s San Marino Gr♌and Prix.

An Official MotoGP test then takes place on Monday before a return to the Italian circuit for the ‘Emilia Romagn♈a’ round, in place of India/K🎐azakhstan, on September 20-22.

Revised tyre pres🎃sure rules for 2024 mean riders must st💎ay above a lower front minimum of 1.8 bar (instead of 1.88) for 60% (instead of 50%) of a Grand Prix distance, or 30% of a Sprint.

The penalty for failing to meet this minimum in a Grand Prix will be a 16-second post-race time penalty, or an 8-second penalty for a Sprint/short race.
