KTM’s Binder finished on the podium and was part of the sensatio꧒nal three-way fight with Jorge Martin and Francesco Bagnaia for the vic💖tory.

But 🦩Miller languished in 16th after a race he’d rather forget.

“A long old race,” Miller said. ﷽“I gave it, pretty much, everything I could. I’ve been struggling all weekend at Turn 1 and 3. The middle secti﷽on was alright.

“Just real slow in the first sector. The bike didn’t fee🔥l terrible but, every time we put this casing on, I suffer. 

“I can’t find a way to💫 get it to drive. It wasn’t like that, for me, in the past. It’s a head-scratching moment.

“I’m missing a bit of top 🍨speed. I couldn’t get🎐 close to a Yamaha.

“Either I go on a lettuce diet this week, or we find a bit of﷽ ho꧋rsepower! A bit of both would be good!

“I didn’t make any ✨mistakes. I was able to hang with those boys for a bit but lost speed when the♕ tyre dropped off.

“Disappointing weekend, not the result we wanted. Clea💎rly the bike is☂ working well with Brad’s result. We need to work harder.”

Asked what his teammate Binder did so well, Miller replied: “Sector 1. He’s been fast there all weekend, two tenths quicker than anybody else. An♒d even in the second sector.

“I tried f***** every which way. But to change my line, try a different style, pick the bike up which wasn’t w🍒orking great in terms of gettingꩲ it onto the thinner rubber. 

“I tried t♔he lean angle, I t𓄧ried short shifting. I tried f***** everything I could. We’ve got a little bit of work to do. 

“I’m disappointed.🥂 The boys are working hard so to not bring home a point is disappointing.

“It’s MotoGP these days. Fourteen points off and we’re out of the poinꦆts.

“Pace was decent. I used the same set of tyres as I did in the sprint but couldn’t get close in term൩s of lap time.”

Asked if he fr🦂ustrated by his wheels spinning, Miller said: “Yeahܫ, but not a massive amount. It’s not going forwards. 

“I’m los📖ing two-to-three bike lengths e𓆉very time we come off the corner. You are carrying that the whole straight. 

“If you try to set up a pass, set up a move? You’re alre🧔ady risking life and limb t🅰rying to pass, these days. 

“If you tr▨y to make up three or four bike lengths? It gets pretty hairy, pretty difficult to make a pass.”
