KTM’s Brad Binder says he was going slower than in previous laps when he fell out of fifth in Sunday’s 𓆏MotoGP Aragon Grand Prix, which he branded “a waste”.

KTM enjoyed one of its better weekends of the year, as it got three bikes directly into Q2 for the first time since last seasꦡon’s Cat✨alan GP.

It came away fr﷽om Arago with a brace of top five results courtes♊y of Pedro Acosta, who was fourth in the grand prix.

But a double top five in Sunday’s race went walking when 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Brad Binder crashed going through Tu𝓡rn 3 at the midway point.

Binder says he felt better with the front end of his RC16 at Aragon, but notes🃏 that whenever this is the case “it tends to give up on me” following his crash.

“Today it was mint,” he told the media on Sunday.

“I didn’t spin off the line, everything going normal, according ဣto plan. And I just lost the front at Turn 3.

“When I lost it I 💜thought ‘what the hell happe💦ned?’ Then I went back to the garage I looked at the data and I had less speed, less front brake and less load on the front tyre.

“So, it’s a 🤡little bit tricky because every time I take good confidence with the front and I feel it’s more or less there, it tends to g꧅ive up on me a little bit.

“So, not ideal for sure, but I need ꦡ⛄to take the positives from the weekend.

“Every time I felt good𒉰 and I could do a decent job, I was🌊 always more or less in the mix.

“Sཧo, if we can hold the performance from this weꦅekend going forward, things can only get better.”

Binder feels he had similar pace to team-mate 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Pedro Acosta before his crash, saying he was “trying not to be stupid” with pushing his tyres to mount an💞 attack on fourth place.

“Well, I knew here you have to be kind to your rear tyre,”🎐 he added.

“So I was trying my best to be good to the edge. 💖And I felt like I had the same🥂 pace as him.

“And I was just pretty much 🌸trying to be clean, not be stupid, not make mistakes, and when I went sliding off I thought ‘what a waste’. But shit happens.”

Binder’s crash appears to have hinted at what works to give him a better front end on the KTM, however, as he notes: “The way I made the front feel better all weekend was just add weight to it. So, clearly it gives us a bit of a dirꦰection.”
