168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Miguel Oliveira was on course to complete his Le Mans MotoGP comeback with his best yet 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Pramac Yamaha result - until falling victim to the𝓰 same corner that claimed factory star Fabio Quartararo and team-m෴ate Jack Miller.

Like Miller, Oliveira picked the correct strategy of starting on wet tyres and, amid the chaos of bike swaps, penalties and crashes, found himself as high as second, behin🅠d eventual♌ winner Johann Zarco.

Then hunted down by the Marquez brothers, Oliveira - still not at full fitness after missing three rounds with a shoulde꧋r injury - was also later passed by Pedro Acosta, Maverick Vinale👍s, and Fermin Aldeguer.

Seventh would still have eclipsed Oliveira’s only previous fin☂ish of 14th this season, but his race ended with a crash at the final co🔴rner, 8 laps from the chequered flag.

“It was a shame not being able to finish the race, because it would have been great to get some points and in such a crazy race it ♌would have been a plus,” said Olivei🅰ra.

“It was a lottery,ಌ but we knew that some rain was going to come, it was ju🌞st a matter of time and see how much rain was going to fall. And it paid off.

“In the rain everythingღ was better physically, not as hard and demanding, but as soon as it started to rain more I had absolutely no rear grip.

“It was really hard to stay on the bike෴, all of a sudden the biꦿke would snap, making things very difficult.

“It was a nightmare to manage that.🌺 When I crashed, I was slow, and nonetheless I could not a𒈔void it. It was a shame.”

Alex Rins - who also started on wets bu🌠t made 🤡an early pit stop for his dry bike, then switched again when rain returned - was the only Yamaha to reach the finish, in 12th place.

"It's hard to comment on a race where we walk away with nothing desp𒁏ite doing everything right [strategically],” admi꧑tted Pramac team director Gino Borsoi.

“Witไh a forecast that guaranteed rain but a sky t😼hat held back until the last moment, making the right calls was incredibly difficult.

“Even though his race ended the same way [as Miller], I want to say well done to Miguel, who was running a fantastic race despite a tough weekend physi🃏cally.

“He even climbed to second at one point. That says it all.”
