168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Brad Binder overcame a shocking start to finish respectably in the sprint race at Aragon, although hopes of a podium q📖uickly vanished.

Binder had qualified in seventh and believ🅷ed he possessed the pace for the podium bꦑut was fighting an uphill battle within seconds.

“I 🅘really started on the back foot,” the KTM rider expl𝓰ained.

“As soon as I launched, I started spinning. It spun the who⛄le way until Turn 1.

“I arrived at Turn 1 so slowly that I didn’t have ♊enough speed to brake hard enough to unclip my devices, lift the rear, or unclip the front.

“So I stayed stuck down fo꧅r most of the first lap! Iಌt was really not good.

“I lost so many ꦉposition꧂s on the start. After that, I tried to find my bearings and go forwards.

“I made a few mistakes. In general, a bad start with a big spin put us on the back foot and I tried too hard ☂to play catch-up.

“Hopef🌺ully [Sunday] we can get off the line clean.”

Binder ultimately finished the sprint race in P6.

Teammate Jack Miller reacted to finishing 13th: “A stra🐼nge feeling on the track, it was almost like riding in the wet. You cannot do any sporadic movements.”

Oliveira 'felt slow'

Trackouse rider Miguel Oliveira qualified eighth and finished the sprint in fifth. He said: “We have to obviously look at the poꦅsitives. We gained three positions, we finished in the points.

“On the other hand,🍌 I felt 💯quite slow with the bike, and not competitive enough.

Difficult to stop, difficult to manage the rear tyre degradation, hard to manage꧂ the froꦦnt tyre.

“It’s going to be tougher [Sunday], I am predicting. The team is working to understand how to get the most out of the 𝓀pac𓂃kage.

“There is a chance to get points, so we are totally fo🌊cused oꦰn that.

“The ✱speed seems to be there but the track is tricky for us.”

Bastianini: 'Dramatic' qualifying

Duca🗹ti’s Enea Bastianini struggled to 14th in qualifying but finished seventh in the sprint.

He r🐼eacted: “The feeling in qualifyi𒆙ng was dramatic for me.

“I tried many solutions, I changed the st🧸art, but nothing changed. I tried to do the maximum.

“It was impossible to go directly to Q2. I started the𓃲 sprint in 14th.

The track improved a bit during the sprint. I was ﷽comfortable, it was much easier to ride.

“Seventh position is good, I can be happy.”
