Friday at Le Mans was a ‘character building’ day for 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Brad Binder, who fell three times on his way to 17th place, sending him into Saturday’s Qualifying 1 for the French MotoGP.

After low🎐-sidi🎶ng at Turn 11 in the morning on his way to eighth, the factory KTM star was caught out twice at Turn 13 in the afternoon.

“I spent a lot of time on the back of scooters🌃 today,” Binder joked.

“Every time I went to push, I fell off. So a little bit of🅘 a mess to be honest.

“I was fee💝ling really good and was quite fast every time ▨I completed laps.

“We just need to adjust a bit a couple of things because I had the exact same crash thre🥂e time🔜s.

“But we understand why, so that's good.”

"I was ⛄entering the second last corner later than all my team-mates, so that probably doesn't help," he revealed.

“So I'm hoping that's the reason.”

Teamꦯ-mate Jack Miller secured his place in Qualifying 2 with a competitive sixth place, just ൩0.3s from Pramac Ducati’s Friday leader Jorge Martin.

“Solid Friday,” said Miller. “Anytime you can get that direct Q2 pass is always nice. Especially in a tight techn🥀ical circuit like this where yellow flags and little mistakes c♉an make or break your Friday.

“I've been very ha💙ppy from the get go here. The bike’s working well. Probably the most sta✱ble bike I've had into turn 1 here at really high speed.

“I feel like I'm able to carry the momentum around the track, wh🌄ich is nic꧒e.

“So if we can tidy up a few litt🔯le bits and bobs, then we can be in good shape for tomorrow and then of cours♔e on Sunday.”

Rookie♕ Pedro Aco♌sta was the top RC16 rider, in third.
