168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jack Miller knew it would be a tough task to hold off Marc Marquez during Saturday’s San Marino MotoGP Sprint race.

Marquez was starting an out-of-sync ninth after crashing in qualifying, with Miller lea♎pfrogging ahead of the Aragon winner as he shot from 12th to 7th on the opening 𒀰lap.

The Aඣustralian then kept Marquez at bay for half of the 13-lap race, until the🧸 KTM rider suffered an unusual electronic glitch.

MotoGP machines are programmed with diffe﷽rent engine settings for each corner of a race track and Miller suspects his RC16 ‘got lost’ during the braking zone into Turn 8.

“Just as I swapped the map on the straight, I had a littl🧜e🌄 electronic issue or something," said Miller.

“Going into the brakiꦬng zone for Turn 8 it was like the system got los🎃t. 

"It went full engine brake halfway through the braking zone. Then it clutched itsel🐭f, free wheeled almost, and snapped out of it.

“That was when Marc was able to get past.

“I felt like I was riding quite protective and managing my braking markers pretty well to try and keep hi💃m behind. Obviously🌟, he had better pace but I was just trying to do what I could.

“Then halfway through that braking zone, she went ‘brmmm’. It almost feels like the thing’s♊ seizing a little bit. 

"It's done it a few times and it’s like the [throttle] butterflies shut all the w🎃ay, completely closed. And then it reali🎶ses how much [rear wheel] lock you’ve actually got and snaps out of it really aggressively.

“That was enough to put me a little bit wide and left the door well and truly open for [M🐠a🐎rc] to come on through.”

Miller then 𓆏remained in eighth place, finishing a fraction from team-mate Binder and ju🎶st ahead of Yamaha’s Fabio Quartararo.

After his earli♎er defensive riding, Miller found himself limited by front tyre pressure issues when trying to go on the attack.

“Every time I kind of got close to Brad, I'd have some decent locks on the front,” he said. “Obviously🐻 the temperature out there was pretty high and running a very similar p꧅ace, you kind of get stuck in that mode, I guess you can say.

“But I enjoyed it. No mistakes, just trying to hang in there and see how long we could sort of stick it out with thos𝐆e boys. And that was a lot of fun. We were definitely pus🍌hing the whole way through.”
