After fighting from tenth to second after a strong opening lap in the Sprꦦint, Binder’s chances of a Sunday repeat were all but over when he was sent wide by contact from Alex Marquez.

16th at the end of the lap, the So♈uth African was up to eighth by the middle stages - helped by accidents ahead - and closing on team-mate Jack Miller as the final ten lap🌜s began.

But as he got within reach of the Australian, Binder straight-lined a chicane. The 𒈔#33 then thought he had given up the one-second required to avoid a penalty, only to🔯 receive a long lap.

♈“I took a really good slipstream from Jack and braked a little bit later than I normally would. I didn't want to take the chance to crash, so I went a little bit straight over the chicane,” Binder said.

“I thought I lost a second… So th༒at was a mistake𝔍 on my behalf. I should have made sure.”

Binder explained that the reason for the mix-up🧸 was that he had ga🐎uged losing one-second relative to Miller, rather than his own average time through that sector.

“It looked like more than a second to me, but I didn't take it off my own lap time. I⛎ tooꦅk Jack as my reference,” he said.

“I judged my on📖e seco𝔉nd off the move I was trying to make, so my gap to Jack. And it's not, it's off your average sector time. I didn't understand the rule properly.

“So that was my mistak𓄧e. I'll lꦕearn for the future.

“The long lap took me completely out of contention. But anyway ♊it is what it is.”

After dropping back behind Fabio Quartararo for ninth, Binder gained three places in the final four laps when 𒀰he repassed the Yamaha rider, then Miller and Marc Marquez fell.

“Warm up was really quick and I was happy [ahead🌊 of the race]. But when you drop back to 20th place on the first lap, it's difficult,” Binder said.

“When you're behind people and the front tyre cooks, you can't do much. It's really, really difficult to get past people because you just don't have that margin on the e🎃dge anymore.

“I wanted to make moves as quickly as I could, but I al✤so didn't want ﷽to mess it up because I didn't have a great feeling with the front.

“I tried my best. I managed to get back up through the field, pass a lot🌺 of people, and unfortuna🌠tely, I messed up [with the penalty] on the back straight.”

Nonetheless, wi🌳th Francesco Bagnaia crashing out after an early tangle with Maverick Vinales, Binder is now only 13 points from the title leader, with Sunday’s winner Marco Bezzecchi in-between.

“I feel sorry for [Bagnaia] because I'm sure he didnꦰ't want his Sunday to go the way it did,” Binder said. “It seemed coming from the back I had a full view of every incident today, just about. Bit of a chaotic race, but it is what it is.

"The rac♐ing's tight… Let's see. Makes it interesting.🌜”

Alex Marquez later received a grid penalty fo🐬r the opening lap contact with Binder, wಞhich also 'disturbed' Johann Zarco.
