A fast accident in the closing minutes of Friday afternoon practice at the Spanish MotoGP left 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Brad Binder to watch helplessly from the sidelines as he lost out o𝔍n a top-ten placeꦑ by 0.1s.

That mea﷽ns the 2023 Jerez runner-up will j🍸oin KTM team-mate Jack Miller and wild-card Dani Pedrosa in trying to battle through Saturday’s Qualifying 1.

𒁃Yet Binder insisted there was still plenty to be happy about.

“Honestly, today was great,” Binder said. “This morning we tried somet✅hing different on the front fork and I felt so much better. I was able to brake hard and enter fast again like I normally can. So that was super positive.

“And this afternoon I was really quick from the first lap. Unfortunately, when I went to give it a push at the end there, I lost the front but I was on a really good l🌄ap.

“I feel like we've got a good opportunity to be fast. It’s a pity we need to climb through the Q1 because of the crash. But other than 🔴that, I'm happy. I think we'll be OK.

“I think I was much faster today than I was last year൲. Felt better. Everything was working bett♑er. It's just I messed up at the end.”

Miller and Pedrosa also suffe⛦re🐼d falls in the afternoon and were left in 13th and 14th places.

Pedrosa, the quickest RC16 in eighth this morning, explained: “In the morning we did a good job and we were confident for the afternoon. Unfortunately, in the aftern⛄oon, I was having a hard time with one of the 🔥bikes.

“So mid-session I decided to quit that bike and took the♔ other b🦩ike. Immediately I felt positive. Unfortunately, I pushed a bit too early and I crashed, so maybe the tyre wasn't ready or something.

“And then I could not continue with the bike I liked. So I had to go back to the other bike and finished the session in the best ꦫwa🐽y possible, but it wasn't enough to go to Q2.”

With Auguไsto Fernandez just 22nd, GASGAS rookie star Pedro Acosta is the only RC16 rider so far confirmed in Qualifying 2, with sixth place on Fri﷽day.
