Nine riders DNF’d the MotoGP Grand Prix of the Americas, there were multiple crashes - they explain why…
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Brad Binder spun out of the top 10 but was able to recover his KTM, and finish 13th (the last of the riders who finished).
Binder: I expected a lot more from my race. I had a really good jump off the line. Turn 1, 🍸I made the wrong decision to go on the outside. It really hurt my progress.
The first lap was chaotic, I 🦋couldn’t get going. Five or six laps in, I felt more normal and was able to ride the bike how I wanted to.
Unfortunately I just tucked the front in one of the small corners. I ended up picking up the bike, coming hᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚome, and scoring three points.
I’m happy with three points despite the mistake.
A really bad start ♎put us in a bit of a rough position. When I was trying to come through the field, it was t📖ricky.
I’ve made my mistake. I’ll learn f🎃rom it. I’ll 𝕴try not to do it again.
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Alex Marquez was wiped out on the first lap by Jorge Martin.
Marquez:☂ It sometimes happens like this. Today it happened to Jorge, tomorrow it could ༒happen to me.
W🍃e are on the limit. We are human💦s. We all make mistakes.
In this 𝄹sport if you brake half a metre late, you pay.
He made a small m༺istake, going wide then trying to recover. He lost the front. He made a mistake, he knows what he did.
For me, it’s closed. This is something tha♍t can happen. I don’t want ꦫto criticise.
I am disappointed to lose crucial points. [On Saturdﷺay] I made a mistake, crashing alone.
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jorge Martin’s error ended his race, and took out Alex Marquez.
Martin: It is a pity that we 🐬lost the rac✱e on the first lap.
It was ཧa difficult weekend for me, in terms of my ph♈ysical condition. But I was solving the problems that were coming.
Ev💃ery day I felt better. P3 in the sprint race, then I was al𝓰ready in front after the start.
At Turn 3 I🍷 lost the front. I am sorry that Alex crashed with me.
I hope to improve from my mistakes in the future.
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Aleix Espargaro endured a race to forget, crashing before completing a single lap.
Espargaro: We did a good job this week🐠end. Unfortunately I couldn’t finish the race.
From the ꦑstart, I had a problem with the rear height device. It didn’t come in the standard position after corner 1.
I did the first part of the 🎐track with a rear low.
When I braked in the back straight then accelerated, i♔t was the same problem. So I crashed.
It’s a꧙ shame because we were strong and fast at a difficult track for us. So I am disappointed.
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Raul Fernandez did not finish due to a malfunctioning ride height device.
Fernandez: We are unlucky. I did an amജazing start. I was 13th, catching the group of Maverick Vinales and Miguel Oliveira.
I had a mechanical problem, I had to retire.
The team did a good job, Apri🍷lia also. This soꦑmetimes happens. Sometimes we have mechanical problems.
We need a good result for my feeliꦡng with the bike. We will try in 🃏Jerez, I am optimistic.
Joan Mir hit the deck, from 10th, with 12 laps to go.
Mir: Coming from the back🍬 is 🅷difficult, difficult to overtake.
Trying to overtake Franco Morbidelli, I lost the front. That’s what🎀 happened.
It’s🌜 a difficult situation. We are not in the posi🎃tion to fight for the victory. This is tough.
When Takaaki Nakagami went down, he left only 14 riders remaining in the race.
Nakagami: Unfortunately I had a crash while I was P9.
I had 🌞some issues,꧃ then a crash. I am a bit disappointed. But I gave my best. Sometimes, this happens.
I tried to keep pushing, head dow🎀n, I will try to get motivated for the European run. Jerez is one of m🐷y favourite tracks.
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jack Miller was on course for a podium finish before his sixth crash of the weekend.
Miller: I squared the corner before off, just a little more than the lap before, then paused on th𒊎e change of directio🍬n.
Wheth♋er or not that made it load onto the front… the lean angle seemed very similar.
You’re on the 🐈limit around here. I tried sticking the elbow in, but there was no saving it.
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Francesco Bagnaia was leading the race but, with three laps left, he dramatically crashed.
Bagnaia: I'm very angry, not with myself, because I'm 100%𝓀 sure that wasn't my fault today. In Argentina, I recognise that I was a bit on the limit. But today, no. Today something happened, but not in terms of a cold tyre or the wind. Something we have to understand from the bike.
Stefan Bradl was replacing the injured Marc Marquez but failed to finish.
Bradl: I didn't make a mistake. I 🥀꧋just collapsed the front wheel at Turn 13.”
