168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Miguel Oliveira was on course to complete his Le Mans MotoGP comeback with his best yet 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Pramac Yamaha result - until falling victim to the sa🤪me corner that claimed factory star Fabio Quartararo and🔯 team-mate Jack Miller.

Like Miller, Oliveira picked the correct strategy of starting on wet tyres and, amid the chaos of bike swaps, penalties and crashes, found himself as high as second, behind eventual winner Johan♏n Zarco.

Then hunted down by the Marquez brothers, Oliveira - still n💝ot at full fitness after missing three rounds with a shoulder inj🦩ury - was also later passed by Pedro Acosta, Maverick Vinales, and Fermin Aldeguer.

S🧸eventh would still have eclipsed Oliveira’s only previous finᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚish of 14th this season, but his race ended with a crash at the final corner, 8 laps from the chequered flag.

“It was a shame not being able to finish the race, because it would have 🌌been great to get some points and in such a crazy race it would have been a plus,” said Oliveira.

“It was a lottery, but we knew🍒 that some rain was going to come, it was just a matter of time and see how much rain was going to fall. And it💧 paid off.

“In the rain everything was better physically, not as hard and demanding, but as soon as iಞt starte𒅌d to rain more I had absolutely no rear grip.

“It was really hard to stay on the bike, all of a sudden the bike would snap, making tཧhings very difficult.

“It was a nꦰightmare to manage that. When I crashed, I wa✨s slow, and nonetheless I could not avoid it. It was a shame.”

Alex Rins - who also started on wets but made an early pit stop for his dry bike, then switch🎉ed again when rain returned ﷽- was the only Yamaha to reach the finish, in 12th place.

"It's hard to comment on a race where we walk away🌄 with nothing despite doing everything right [strategically],” admitted Pramac tea꧋m director Gino Borsoi.

“With a 🦄forecast that guaranteed rain but a sky that held back until the last moment, making the right calls was incredibly difficult.

“Even though his race ended the same way [as Miller], I want to say well d▨one to Miguel🎶, who was running a fantastic race despite a tough weekend physically.

“He even climbed to second at one point. That says it all.”
