168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Brad Binder spun out of the top 10 but was able to recover his KTM, and finish 13th (the last of the riders who finished).

Binder: I expected a lot more from my race. 💞I had a really good jump off the line. Turn 1, I made the w෴rong decision to go on the outside. It really hurt my progress.

The first lap was chaotic, I couldn’t get going. Five or six laps in, I felt more ♒normal and was able to r🐽ide the bike how I wanted to.

Unfortunately I just tucked the front in one of the small corne♋rs. I ended up picking up the bike, comi𝓡ng home, and scoring three points.

I’m happy with three points despite the mistake.

A really bad sta⛎rt put us in a bit of a rough position. When I was trying to come♛ through the field, it was tricky.

I’ve made my mistake. I’ll learn from it. I’ll try not to do🌳 it again.

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Alex Marquez was wiped out on the first lap by Jorge Martin.

Marquez: It sometimes happens like this. Today it happened to Jorge, tomorrowಌ it 𝄹could happen to me.

We are on the limit. W♛e are humans. We all make mistakes.

In this sp🥂ort if you brake half a metre l🦩ate, you pay.

He mཧade a small mistake, going wide then trying to recover. He lost the front. He made a mistake, he knows what he did.

For me, it’s closed. This i꧅s something that can happen. I don’t want to criticise.

I am disappointed to lose crucial points. [On Satꦰurday] I made a mistak♍e, crashing alone.

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Jorge Martin’s error ended his race, and took out Alex Marquez.

Martin: It is 💞a pity that we lost the race on the first lap.

It was a ไdifficult weekend for me, in terms of my physical condition. But I was solving the problems that were c♍oming.

Every day I felt better. P3 in the sprint race, then I was alre🦂ady in front after the start.

At Turn 3 I lost the front. I am sorry that Alex crashed with me🃏.

I hope to improve from my mistakes in the future.

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Aleix Espargaro endured a race to forget, crashing before completing a single lap.

Espargaro: We did a good𒊎 job this weekend. Unfortunately I could𓂃n’t finish the race.

From the start, I had a problem with the rear height device. It didn’t come in the standard🎶 position after corner 1.

I did the first part of the track with🍌 a rear low.

When I braked in the back straight 🦩then accelerated, it 🐷was the same problem. So I crashed.

I♍t’s a shame bec♔ause we were strong and fast at a difficult track for us. So I am disappointed.

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Raul Fernandez did not finish due to a malfunctioning ride height device.

Fernandez: We are unlucky. I did an amazing start. I was 13th, catchꦗing the group of Maverick Vinales and Miguel Oliveira.

I had a mechanical problem, I had to retire.

The team did a gಞood job, Aprilia also. Th✤is sometimes happens. Sometimes we have mechanical problems.

We need a good result fo𝄹r my feeling with the bike. We will try i🦹n Jerez, I am optimistic.

Joan Mir hit the deck, from 10th, with 12 laps to go.

Mir: Coming from🐻 the back is difficult, d👍ifficult to overtake.

Trying to overtake💖 Franco Morbidelli, I lost t෴he front. That’s what happened.

It’s a difficult situation. We a✨re not in the position to figh♚t for the victory. This is tough.

When Takaaki Nakagami went down, he left only 14 riders remaining in the race.

Nakagami: Unfortunately I had a crash while I was P9.

I had some issues, then a crash. I am a bit disappointed. But I gave my best. Some𝓰times, this happens.

I tried to keep pushing, head down, I will try to get motivated for the ꧙European run. Jerez is one of🍎 my favourite tracks.

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Jack Miller was on course for a podium finish before his sixth crash of the weekend.

Miller: I squared the 🐻corner before of♛f, just a little more than the lap before, then paused on the change of direction.

Whether or not that made it lo💞ad onto the front… the lean angle seemed very similar.

You’re on the limit aroun📖d here. I tried sticking t꧃he elbow in, but there was no saving it.

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Francesco Bagnaia was leading the race but, with three laps left, he dramatically crashed.

Bagnaia: ♚I'm very angry, not with myself, because I'm 100% sure that wasn't my fault today. In Argentina, I recognise that I was a bit on the limit. But today, no. Today something happened, but not in terms of a cold tyre or the wind. Something we have to understand from the b🐓ike.

Stefan Bradl was replacing the injured Marc Marquez but failed to finish.

Bradl: I didn't make a mistake. I just collapsed the front wheel at Turn 13.🎃”
