168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Brad Binder has explained that an extra gear change led to an unexpected amount of engine brake and an ‘aggressive’ opening lap pass on 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fabio Quartararo in the Thai MotoGP Sprint race.

Starting from the second row, the Monster Yamaha rider settled into an early seventh,🅷 while🦹 Binder rose from 13th to eighth.

But the pair then ജtangled at Turn 8, sending Quartararo down in eleventh.

“Today was quite good, apart from lap 1 with Brad Binder, who overtook us a bit too aggressively. I lost a lot of positions,” sa𝔍id Quartara🥂ro.

The Frenchman finished ꦛin tenth, just behind Binder’s KTM.

“On the first lap I made a mistake,” said Binder. “﷽Normally we go 3rd gear, then back to 2nd for the right.

“But I went to 3rd, then clicked 4th gear and went back int♊o 3rd when I went🐠 up the inside of Fabio.

“As you know, we set the engine brake for every gear. The engine brake we had for 3r🌄d was𒀰 massive, because it was set up for the straight.

“I turned in and꧒ the thing was [sideways] on the steerᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚing lock. Sorry to him.”

After the strong opening laps, theꦑ South African spent the rest of the 13-lap contest struggling with rear grip.

“When that rear grip goes 🌊away, you lose that stopping potential, the turning takes a while and that’s when you start to lose﷽ the front [as well].

“Then when you pick up the throttle [on the exit and] when youꦐ get to the centre [of the tyre] it starts spinning.”

Binder, who finished behind a🔯n all-Ducati top eight, now holds a 12-point advantage over future team-mate Pedro Acosta in their battle for fifth in the world championship.

Acosta crashed from fifth in the early stages.
