Jack Miller: “Alex Marquez turned in on me, we were hooked…”
Jack Miller and Brad Binder r🦹eflect on KTM's performance at Australian MotoGP

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jack Miller’s Australian MotoGP was scuppered by contact with Alex Marquez.
KTM rider Miller was starting from 16th on the grid at his home grand prix and ꧂got off to an impr🅺essive start, reaching P8 briefly.
But a tangle at Doohan Corner with Gresini’s Alex Marquez cost him vital ღground - he even🍸tually came home in 11th.
“I got a mega jump𓂃 from the inside,” Miller explained.
“I would have nearly been top six by Turn 1. I was on 🧸the kerb on the i🐠nside, following the kerb around.
"Alex turned in, over the top of me, ꦯwe got hooked. For🎃tunately we were able to become unhooked once we got off the edge of the track.
"Rejoined in last position and started the race fromꦑ there. I was able to pick off people an🍨d make my way into the top 10 for a bit.
"I was trying to do the best I could 🧔not to get over-excited and smoke the tyre, but still make up some ground ꦜwherever I could.
"A good race, decent pace꧑. But it makes things difficult when you have a moment like that..."
Miller later added: “I fought my way back but with 🧸three [laps] to go, the front went and then you had to start relying on the rear to bring her round.
“I was doing what I could to battle with those boys but couldn♈’t do much more.
“The pace was decent b🥂ut it would have been nice to have built on that start.”
Miller was, at least, able to avo🍸iღd the local wildlife after his KTM struck a rabbit and a seagull on Saturday at Phillip Island.
Binder highest-placed non-Ducati
KTM teammate Binder didn’t finish Saturday’s sprint but 🦩claimed P7 in Sunday’s grand prix.
Binder st♑arted 11th and reached a high of P4. Finishing seventh keeps Binder fifth in the MotoGP championship, ahead of Tech3 GASGAS rider Pedro Acosta as the highest-placed non-Ducati.
“I tried my best from𓆏 the beginning until the end,” Bind♕er said.
“This morning we put in a dif𝔍ferent aero package for the dry conditions and the bike was turning a bit better.
“Th▨at was good and positive for the race and we could try to carry a bit more speedꦕ.
“I managed to stick with the boys ඣfor a while but when they dropped the pace at the end I couldn’t quite go with them💖.
“We learned a lot this weekend and we made another small step but obviously we need more to get cl𒁃oser.”
Team manager Francesco Guidotti said: “𒊎A step better than yesterday. Brad was just off the leading group and lost a bit of confidence with the rear tyre in the last two laps which stopped him fighting for that fourth place but it was a good race with a lot of overtaking and a strong pace also.
“Jack had a very good start but he ran into some ⭕traffic on the first corner.
“He recovered and managed to get near the top te🧜n. He deserved more because his pace was better.”
