168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jack Miller and his Pramac Yamaha team “tossed a coin” and made a “big gamble” by ditching the medium rear tyre for a soft in Saturday’s Qatar MotoGP Sprint.

Like others who took the same risk, the move backfired sooner than expected - altho🅺ugh starting just 16th on the grid meant the Australian felt it had been "worth a shot".

“I decided to go with the soft rear ty🅠re today, it was a big gamble, we tossed the coin but it didn‘t pay off,” Miller said. “I thought I might start to struggle after 8 or 9 laps, but by lap 4 I was already in trouble, which honestly surprised me.

“I didn‘t expect it to be that bad, maybe it was the cooler temperatures, or the 🌃sand, or something else on the track. Still🌳, it was worth a shot, even if we hoped to get a bit more out of it.

“I got a decent start, but played it safe into Turn ღ1 and ended up getting boxed in, so I didn‘t ga♎in much there.

“I picked off a few riders on the first lap, but then there was some ch💫aos with Marini, Ogura, and I think Pecco was in the mix too.

“I found my rhythm and closed the gap, but as soon as I got past Marini, I started suffering on corner entry - first in the last corner, then pr🔯etty much everywhere.

“Tomorrow we‘ll switch back to the medium tyre, and 🍰if I can get off the line well, I think we can move forward.”

Miller slipped to 19th place at the flag, on an evening when Monster Yamaha’s Fabio Quartararo was f⛄ighting for the 🐭final podium place with the medium rear tyre.

Pramac team director Gino Borsoi said: “Overall, this Qatar GP is turning out to be a very interesting event.&♐෴nbsp;

🙈"On one hand, we still have several areas to improve, as highlighted ✤by Jack‘s crashes yesterday.

“On the other hand, Yamaha has made a significant step forward, as we saw with Quartararo fighting for the podium u♉ntil the very end of the Sprint.

“Looking at the da💃ta, it‘s clear that both Jack and Augusto have strong potential. It‘s only a matter of time before that potential translates into results.”

Augusto Fernandez, replacing the injured Miguel Oliveira for the second event in a row, finished ওone place ahead of Miller on the medium rear tyr꧑e.

“For me, it wasn‘t a bad Sprint r🍸ace,” he said. “I‘m improving my speed and pace and even though I‘m still toward the back, I‘m starting to close the gap and gain positions.

“Today, I felt more like a proper race rider rather than just a tes🐼t rider. 

"I worked on the setup and began tailoring the bike more to my riding style, which is 🌠important not just for me, but also for Yamaha, to help us get more out of the bike.”
