KTM’s woeful weekend in Jer🌜ez will be “disappointing” for the manufacturer in their bid to be Ducati’s main challengers.

Brad Binder came home in P6 at last week’s Spanish MotoGP but Ja✱ck Miller and wildcard Dani Pedrosa di🐼d not finish.

The previ🅰ously show-stopping Pedro Acosta was forced to settle for P10 while Tech3 GASGAS teammate Augusto Fernandez did not compl𓄧ete the distance.

Miller’s race🧜 ended with an angry confrontation in the gravel w🧸ith Franco Morbidelli, after he was clattered out from inside the top 10.

“Jack’s weekend was a nightmare - not all Jack’s doing,” analysed broadcaster ꦫSimon Crafar.

“Technical problems, one a🌊fter another, made Jack look worse than he was.

“He’s quite strong here, good in bad conditions. He got to show none of hi𝔍s cards because of these technical things.”

Crafar said of Miller’s race-ending incident with Morbidelli: “Turn𓆏 5, those types of corner, encourage a rider to give it a go💜 - and [a big crash] is the end result.

“It’s sad. He had a tough weekend.”

Mil▨ler’s collision with Morbidelli was ruled a racing incident.

Meanwhile, Binder’s title hopes took a ༒major blow. He now sits seventh in the MotoGP standings after four rounds, 33 points behind championship leader Jor𝕴ge Martin.

Binder came up short in aജ fight for P4 against Alex Marquez and Enea Bastianin🐽i.

“Brad is not going to🦂 be hapꦚpy. We know Brad,” Crafar said.

“He had the possibility, I said on the g𝓰rid, of getting on the podium.

“He showed speed [on Saturday], they🔯 worked overnight, different tyre, longer race.

“I thought he had the chance a♏nd ﷺit clearly didn’t happen like that.

“A quite disappointi♏ng weekend for KTM because they are strong her🌼e, traditionally. “

Even starlet Acosta came back down to earth withꦍ his first ordinary result since ♛joining the premier class.

Jorge Lorenzo had spectacularly ღpredicted Acosta would win the Spanish MotoGP but it did not come true.

ไ“♔Pedro? I knew it would be a tough one for him here,” Crafar said.
