P1racenews AI automatic summary:
Luca Marini feels as though a maiden MotoGP victory was there for the taking during the sprint at Mandalika.
Luca Marini started from pole position for the first time in his premier class career but was overtaken by Maverick Vinales and eventual race winner Jorge Martin. Despite this, Marini made a strong comeback and was preparing for a move on the final lap before a mistake at turn 13 cost him the chance to win. However, he managed to secure a comfortable second-place finish, which he was proud of considering his injured collarbone. Marini acknowledged that tomorrow’s race will be different and he will need to manage his strategy and not stress his body too much. He also discussed his teammate Marco Bezzecchi’s impressive performances this season. Unfortunately, Marini’s chance to shine in the sprint race was hindered by his error at turn 13, caused by high temperature in the rear tire.
