Luca Marini says he faced tyre pressure issues from the off in the Indonesian GP sprint
Honda rider Luca Marini experienced a drop in front tyre pressure during the MotoGP Indonesian Grand Prix sprint, resulting in a post-race penalty. Despite qualifying well and showing strong pace in practice, he finished 6th after a tough battle with winner Marco Bezzecchi. However, an eight-second penalty for tyre pressure infringement pushed him back to 13th place. Marini’s front tyre pressure significantly dropped at the start, making his bike unresponsive for the first laps. He aims to address this issue for the main race, considering the challenge posed by Sunday’s medium rear tyre choice. Marini remains uncertain about his podium chances, awaiting more insights after the warm-up session.
