A mix-up between MotoGP title leader 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jorge Martin and J168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:ack Miller saw the KTM rider clip💜 the side of the Pramac Ducati in the closing s♎tages of Friday practice at Assen.

Both were on slow laps, with Martin ahead of Miller as several riders were manoeuvring to try and find a towꦕ behind Francesco Bagnaia.

The incident occurred when the Australian glanced backwards to check he was not obstru🍸cting anyone, just as﷽ Martin braked in response to Bagnaia slowing down ahead of him.

Unsighted, Miller narrowl⛄y avoided a direct hit on the Spaniard’s rear wheel but did take ‘an exhaust to the arm’ anꦰd lost some aero, sending him into the pits.

“We🍸 had a few littl꧋e issues today and the coming together with Jorge just sort of capped it off," Miller said.

“Fortunately for ൲myself and him, we both stayed up. It wasn’t anything too serious.

“I✃ just went to check what was behind me and make sure I wasn’t getting in anyone’s way. And right at that point, Jorge was slowing down.

“It was unfortunate but obviously my fault.”

Martin was untroubled by♊ the contact and 🅰able to continue.

“I was trying to find a good tow and just folloꦉwed Pecco to th෴e left side of the track," he said.

"I don’t know what he🎃𝓀 [Miller] did but we touched each other. For me, it wasn’t an issue and I kept going.”

Martin finished a difficult day, by his standings, in fifth to secu🌱re direct access to Qualifying 2. Miller was 18th.
