MotoGP Japan: Jack Miller: “It wasn’t meant to be today”, Brad Binder: “Small lock and that was it”

After rain on the grid, Miller and Binder were among the majority of riders to p🦂it for their wet bikes at the end🐭 of the opening race lap.
Both were then working their way up the order 🦋when the South African, runner-up in the dry Sprint on the new carbon fibre chassis, locked♈ the front and fell from tenth place on lap 6.
Binder remains fourth in the standings, but his fourth Sunday non-score means he is now 118 points from Francesco Bagnaia☂.
“We were fast in all sessions and to bring home a podium in the Sprint yesterday was fantastic but unfortunately today it was tricky with the weaꦐther conditions and we came in after the first lap for the bike swap,” Binder said.
“I started to feel good in the rain and with good pace but I had a small lock going into Turn 3 and that was it. Thank you to my tea💝m for their hard work. We’ll try and make up for it next time around.”

Miller, fourth in the Sprint, briefly broke into the top six but then seemed to lose some pace on the soft r✨ear wet tyre (the leaders had the medium).
The Australian was classif♍ied sixth when the race was halted and had been looking forward to the restart. But conditions failed to improve and a final result was called.
“Not the best day but ♏also not the worst and I’m happy we finished,” said♔ Miller, who qualified on the front row.
“I🉐t took some time for the tyres to get going in the first part and I managed to save the rubber while gaining some time on the guys as the rain started to fall harder.
“We made a couple of tweaks to the bike to try ♔and challenge those boys for the restart but it wasn’t meant to be today. Sixth place today but I wanted more.”
Mil🍸ler is now ninth in the world champiꦬonship, just ten points from the absent Luca Marini and 14 from Aprilia’s Maverick Vinales.
Red Bull KTM team manager Francesco ﷽Guidotti suggested that, given the increasing rain, it may have been better to delay the original start.
“A strange Sunday! Having a flag-to-flag after one lap meant that a delayed start might have been a better decision but it is like it is,” he𝓡 said.
“No wet practice during the weekend meant we were quite conserv🐲ative with our settings and electronics. It’s a shame.
“We had a very good GP fro🌱m Friday until this af🃏ternoon. After the Quali and the Sprint yesterday our expectations were high.
“In conditions like these anything can happ♐en. It was a weird and t𝐆ricky situation but our riders gave their best.”
