168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Brad Binder’s performance in the opening round of the season was brilliant, as he finished highest of the non-Ducati riders in both the sprint and Qatar MotoGP.

But the KTM rid🧔er was unable to grab top spot on both occasions as Jorge Martin and Francesco Bagnaia did just enough to hold off the South African. 

• Marco Bezzecchi: 'I had𝔍 no confidence, Marquez brothers more compe꧑titive' 

• Jorge Martin: “W🐽hen we have the b🃏ike at 100% we can be unbeatable"

Speaking about what he le𓃲arned from the sprint prior to the 21-lap grand prix, where he was even stronger, Binder said: “I think the sprint gave us a lesson because we went quite hard.

“I burnt my rear tyre quite badly a🎀t the beginning and when you double the distance you have to be smarter.

“The goal was to use less throttle a💙nd more brake and try not to burn the tyre.”

KTM and Aprilia have been Ducati’s main chall🦹engers in t𝐆he last two seasons.

Binder has been a big reason as to why KTM are consistently seen as a p✤otential threat to win, however, the 28-year-old still feels as though Ducati hold the same advantage over KTM as last season.

Binder said: “I think it’s the same as last year. We are super close but we haven’t sh🌞own that we can do it. 

“For me, I’m pushing at 100% all the time and I feel lಌike they have a couple of percent in their pocket when they want to use it. I’m waiting for this last little bit of help to come.”

The scorer of 29 points, two less than series leader Bagnaia, Binder had the perfect weekend while team-ma🅠te Jac🐼k Miller was scoreless.

Miller crashed on lap two 𒁏of the sprint and finished last of the completed runners.

“Not how I wante🥃d to start the se😼ason but those are the cards we were dealt today,” said Miller.

“The guys went a bit 🍒deep into Turn 1 and I tried to hold a tighter ♈line and the front went away.

“I picked t♚he bike up and was pushing af💝terwards but I was missing something today.

“I could not run close to the pace we needed. A head scratcher. We will try𓃲 to work out what went wrong and try to fix it for Portimao.”
