Two points, and less than two-seconds, cost rookie 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Pedro Acosta fifth place and top non-Ducati rider in the final 2024 MotoGP World Championship standings.

The GASGAS Tech3 rider began the final grand prix of the season with a two-point advantage over Red Bull KTM’s Brad Binder, despite retiring from the Sprint due to fairing damage from a lap one tꦡangle with Ma🌌rc Marquez.

It was the 13th time this season Acosta has failed to score, including his non-sജtart in Australia.

But with Binder only 18th on the gri🅰d, and Acosta starting sixth, the 20-year-old was still favourite to achieve his goal of confirming fifth in the championship.

However, it was snatched away from him when Binder produced another impressive charge to sixt🍎h, while Acosta faded to tenth with a braking issue.

🎃“A difficult race and managing a problem with the brakes when you are riding at 350 km/h are two different things,” said Acosta afterwards.

“I had no power in tꦡhe brake. It was difficult to manage from lap one. The only thing was that in lap one I had grip in the rear, but when this grip went away there was no f**king way to go fast.

“In lap 12, I was made 40.8. That was not bad at all, and from one lap to๊ the other one I go to 41.4, 41.6, 42s! I don’t even make [42s] in FP1.

“It is what it is. Don't get𒀰 me wrong, diffꦍicult to… understand why.

“I'm OK because looks like I'm not the only one having problems in the whole season, because Marc discussed many times about this. Bu𝓀t this cannot be acceptable.”

It is notඣ known if the brake issue was related to damage caused by Acosta's big warm-up accident.

Acosta may not have been the top RC16 rider in the final staꦑndings, but he achieved the most KTM podiums (five) and l♌aps in the race lead (13).

"It൩ was a season with high and lows, some really good results, and some frustrating moments with mistakes made, but it was a very positive season in general,” he said🧸.

Acosta will now join Binder at the factory Red Bull KTM team from Tuesday’s Barcelon🔯a test.

“I am happy to start another chapter, just next door though a🧸s I remain in the family, but I am leaving some people,” he said.

“From the first day I felt welc💝omed, the mechanics and everyone else around were good to me, so I will forever have💯 in my heart my first season in MotoGP with Tech3."

With team-mate Augusto Fernandez also departing,🥃 probably for a Y🔯amaha test riding rile, Tech3 will be running MotoGP race winners Maverick Vinales and Enea Bastianini next season.
