Like Le Mans two weeks ago, the opening day of MotoGP practice in Catalunya was an up-and-down affair for 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Brad Binder.

The KTM rider had blistering pace when aboard his RC16 machine, however, two crashes at t🌸urn two set the South African back.

Despite damaging both bikes, Binder managed to set a time attack late on as he claimed second behind 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Aleix Espargaro.

“In turn one I went a bit deep and I lost the rear before I started to change direction,” began Binder. 

“It made a really big jump when I went to change and it made a really big๊ steering lock from one to the other, then that was it. 

“The second crash I put in the ha𝕴rd tyre and it just wasn’t there. I was cruising so slowly but crashed anyway.&nbs🌃p;

“I’m sorry to my team because all the pressu🌼re was on them because I didn’t have💖 a bike again. But I made it out for both runs. Hats off to my guys.

“They fixed it and a🍌re such legends. I’m super happy to have had the opportunity to🧸 put in a couple hot laps.”

Binder was also plཧeased by the performance shown by KTM, which hasn’t been consistent in recent rounds, especially for the factory team.

Binder added: “I felt like 🤪everything was w✨orking quite well. I didn’t put in the perfect lap by any means, but we’re through to Q2.

“I think allꦗ of us are fast and every time I came in we were all close together and at the front.

“I feel like there༺ iꦕs zero grip out there but it’s working well for us.”

After suffer🍎ing multiple crashes in recent rounds, Binder has come under some criticism.

Binder owned up to the first crash i🍬n Barcelona, calling it his mistake, but the second was circumstantial🌠 in his eyes.

Binder said: “The first crash today was 100% my faul🌜t. I completely messed up. But the second crash; what𓆏 can you do?

“I put in a hard front tyre when we were nowhere near the temperature for it b👍ut I had no other tyres🎐. I would like to stop crashing.”
