168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Brad Binder overcame a shocking start to finish respectably in the sprint race at🍎 Aragon, although hopes of a podium quickly vanished.

Binder had qualified in sev🍌enth and believed he possessed the pace for the podium💃 but was fighting an uphill battle within seconds.

“I really started on the back foot,” the♐ KT🧔M rider explained.

“As soon as I launched, I started🙈 spinning. It𓄧 spun the whole way until Turn 1.

“I arrived at Turn 1 so slowly that I didn’t have enough speed to brake hard enough to unclip my devices, lif❀t the rear, or unclip the front.

“So I stayed stuck down fo🦄r most of the first lap! It was really not good.

“I lost so many positions on the start. After that, I tried to find my bearinওgs and go forwards.

“I made a few mistakes. In general, a bad start with a big spin put us on the back foot ✅and I tried too hard to play catch-up.

“Hopefully💎 [Sunday] we can get off the line clean.”

Binder ultimately finished the sprint race in P6.

Teammate Jack Miller reacted to finishing 13th: “A strange feeling on the track, it ⛄was almost like riding in the wet. You cannot do any sporadic movements.♛”

Oliveira 'felt slow'

Trackouse rider Miguel Oliveira qualif๊ied eighth and finished the sprint in fifth. He said: “We have to obviously look at the positives. We gained three positions, we finished in the points.

“On the other hand, I felt quite slo𝔍w with the bike, and not competitive en꧃ough.

Difficult to stop, difficult to m💯anage💯 the rear tyre degradation, hard to manage the front tyre.

“It’s going to be tougher [Sunday], I am ꦿpredicting. The team is working to understand how to get the most out of the package.

“There is a chance to get points, so we are tot🍰ally focused on that.

“The speed seems to be there but the t𝕴rack is tricky for us.”

Bastianini: 'Dramatic' qualifying

Ducati’s Enea Bastianini s🥀truggled to 14th in qualifying but 🔥finished seventh in the sprint.

He reacted: “The fee𒐪ling in qualif🍷ying was dramatic for me.

“I tried many solutions, I changed the start, but nothing♑ changed. I tried to do the maximum.

“It was impossible to go directly to🅺 Q2. I started the sprint in 14th.

The track improved a bit during the sprint. I𝔉 was comfortable, it was much easier to ride.

“Seventh position is good, I can be happy.”
