A mix-up between MotoGP title leader 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jorge Martin and J168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:ack Miller saw the KTM rider clip the side of the Pramac Ducati in the closing stages of Friday🎉 practic🔥e at Assen.

Both were on slow laps, with Martin ahead of Miller as several riders were manoeuvring to try and find a ꦺtow behind Francesco Bagnaia.

The incident occurred when the Australian glanced backwar♋ds to check he was not obstructing anyone, just as Martin braked in response to Bagnaia slowing down ahead of hi💯m.

Unsighted, Miller narrowly avoided a direct hit on the Spaniard’s r🏅ear wheel but did take ‘an exhaust to the arm’ and lost some aero, sending him into the pits.

“We had a few little issues today and the coming 𝔍together with Jorge just sort of capped i🌱t off," Miller said.

“Fortunately for myself and him, 🌠we both stayed up. It wasn꧃’t anything too serious.

“I just went to check what was behind me and make sure I wasn’t getting in anyone💯’s way. An𝔉d right at that point, Jorge was slowing down.

“It was unfortunate but obviously my fault.”

Martin was untroubled by the༒ contact and able to continue.

“I was trying to find a good tow an✅d just followed Pecco to the left side of the track," he said.

"I don’t know wha༺t he [Miller] did but we touched each other. For me, it wasn💝’t an issue and I kept going.”

Martin finished a difficult daꦰy, by his standings, in fifth to secure direct access to Qualifying 2. Miller was 1♑8th.
