KTM’s woeful weekend in Jerez ౠwill be “disappoint൲ing” 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 Jack Miller and wildcard Dani Ped♛rosa did not finish.

The previously show-stopping Pedro Acosta was forced to settle for P10 while Tech3 GASGAS t💦eammate Augusto Fernandez did not complete the distance.

Miller’s race ended with an angry confrontation in the gravel with Franco Morbidelli, after he was clattered out from i🔥nside the top 10.

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

“Technic♒al problems, one after another, made Jack look worse than he was.

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

Cra𓆏far sai♍d of Miller’s race-ending incident with Morbidelli: “Turn 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.”

Miller’s collision with Morbi🔴delli was ruled a racing incident.

Meanwhile, Binder’s title hopes took a major blow. He now sits seve💎nth in the MotoGP standings afterꦜ four rounds, 33 points behind championship leader Jorge Martin.

Binder came up short in a fight for P4 against Alex Marquez and Enea Bꩵastianini.

“Brad is not🅷 going to be happy. We kno𒁃w Brad,” Crafar said.

“He had the possibility, I said on t🌞he grid,🐼 of getting on the podium.

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

“I thought he ha🥃d the ch🎶ance and it clearly didn’t happen like that.

“A quite disappointing ꧅weekend for KTM because they are strong here, traditionally. “

Even starlet Acosta came back down to earth with his first ordinary result 𒅌since joining the premier c🍌lass.

Jorge Lorenzo had spectacularly predicted Acosta 📖would win the Spanish M💫otoGP but it did not come true.

“Pedro? I knew it would be a tough on🍬e 🌃for him here,” Crafar said.
