168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Brad Binder has explained that an extra gear change led to an unexpected amount of engine brake and an ‘aggressive’ opening lap pass on 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Fabio Quartararo in the Thai MotoGP Sprint race.

Starting from the second row, the Monster Yamaha 🍰rider settled into an early seventh, while Binder rose from 13th to eighth.

But the pair then tangl💯ed at Turn 8, sending Quartararo down in eleventh.

“Today was quite good, apart from lap 1 with Brad Binder, who overtook us a bit too 🔯aggressively. I lost a lot of positions,” said Quartararo.

The Fr🎃enchman finished in tent▨h, just behind Binder’s KTM.

“On the first lap I made a mistake,” said Binder. “𓄧Normally we go 3rd gear, then back to 2nd for the right.

“But I went to 3rd, then clicked 4th gear and went back into 3rd when I went up the inside o🎶f Fabio.

“As you know, we set the engine𝄹 brake for every gear. The engine brake we had for 3rd was massive, because it was set up for the straight.

“I turned in a🔯nd the thing was [sideways] on the steering lock. Sor𝓰ry to him.”

After the strong opening l💃aps, the South African spent the rest of the 13-lap contest struggling with rear grip.

“When that rear grip goes away, you lose that stopping potential, the turning takes a while an🔯d that’s when you start to lose th🅰e front [as well].

“Then when you pick up the throttle [on the exit and] when y🍸ou get to the centre [of the tyre] it starts spinning.”

Binder, who finished behind an all-Ducati top eight, now holds a♚ 12-point advantage over future team-mate Pedro Acosta in their battle for fifth in the world championship.

Acosta crashed from fifth in the early stages.
