168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Joan Mir returned to the Sunday MotoGP points for the first time since r🧔ound two in Argentina by securing a tenth-place finish at Silverstone.

The HRC rider alsღo bounced back from a lacklustre Sprint performance, with his 10.3s Sunday deficit to race winner Marco Bezzecchi (Aprilia) smaller♏ than in the half-distance race.

But there were 'mixed emotionsꦬ' afterwards, with Mir surging from twelfth to seve꧒nth in the early stages, then paying the price in terms of traction and dropping to tenth at the chequered flag.

“Mixed༺ emotions today,” Mir confirmed. “Positive because in bot꧟h starts, I was able to recover positions and I was able to fight in the front group, that is always very important.

“But t♔hat fight, coming from the back, meant I paid at the end of the race. From five laps to the end, my rear tyre was cooked and then I was not able to accelerate properly.

“If you accelerate behind the othꦗers with this bike, you nꦇormally lose. [So] imagine when you have a cooked tyre, the others just smash you on the straight.

“I could not defend my position. Every time we arrived at the straight with these problems of traction, on𝓀e by one, sometimes tw🍬o were overtaking me.

“It was a shame because we were all very close. And I lost many, many positi📖ons in a couple of laps.

“Very unlucky, I w෴ould say, because I think after the race we’ve done, we deserve it a bit more.

“We have to understand why this drop happen🐼ed and if it happened to the o💜thers. It’s probably something about the setup, electronic.

“We have to work on these details that at the end make the diffe๊rence.”

Le Mans winner Johann𝔍 Zarco once again finished as the top Honda, taki♊ng second place.

Mir’s Repsol Honda team-mate Luca Marini crossed the line in eighth but was later relegated to 15th due to a tyre pressure penalty.
