168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Brad Binder spun out of the top 10 but was able to recover his KTM, and finish 13th (the last of the riders who finished).

Binder: I expected a lot more from my race. I had a really good jump off the line. Turn 1, I made the wrong decision to go on the outside. It🃏 really hurt my progress.

The first lap was chaotic, I couldn’t get going. Five or six laps in, I felt📖 more normal🥃 and was able to ride the bike how I wanted to.

Unfortunately I just tuc💫ked the front in one of the small corners. ꧙I ended up picking up the bike, coming home, and scoring three points.

I’m happy with three points despite the mistake.

A really bad start put us in a bit of a rough po🅺sition. When I was trying to come through the field, it was t♔ricky.

I’ve made my mistake. I’ll learn from 🧸it. ꧂I’ll try not to do it again.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Alex Marquez was wiped out on the first lap by Jorge Martin.

Marquez:𒁃 It♛ sometimes happens like this. Today it happened to Jorge, tomorrow it could happen to me.

✃We are on the limit. We are humans. We🍒 all make mistakes.

In this sport if you brake half a me🌸tre 💎late, you pay.

He made a small mistake, going wide then🔴 trying to recover. He lost the front. He made a ♊mistake, he knows what he did.

ღFor me, it’s closed. This is something that can happen. I don’t want to criticise.

I am disappointed to lose crucial points. [On Saturday] I made a miܫstake, crashing alone.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jorge Martin’s error ended his race, and took out Alex Marquez.

Martin: It is a pity tha🎃t we lost the race on the first lap.

It was a difficult weekend for me, in terms oไf my physical coౠndition. But I was solving the problems that were coming.

Every day I felt better. P3 in the sprint race, then I was already in front aft𝐆er the start.

At Turn 3 I lost the front. I am sorry that Alex crashed♌ with me.

I hope to improve from my mistakes in the future.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Aleix Espargaro endured a race to forget, crashing before completing a single lap.

Espargaro: We did♋ a good job this weekend. Unfortunately I couldn’t finish the race.

From the start, I had a problem with the rear height device. It d♔idn’t come in the standard position after corner 1.

I di𝔍d the first part of the track with a rear low.

When I braked in the back 🐷straight tꦍhen accelerated, it was the same problem. So I crashed.

It’s a ♓shame because we were strong and f🌊ast at a difficult track for us. So I am disappointed.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Raul Fernandez did not finish due to a malfunctioning ride height device.

Fernandez: We are unlucky. I did an amazing start. I was 13th, catching the group of M๊averick Vinales and Miguel Oliveira.

I had a mechanical problem, I had to retire.

The team did a goඣod job, Aprilia also. This sometimes happens. Sometimes we have mechanical problems.

We need a good result for my feeling with the bike. Wﷺe will try in Jerez, I am optimistic.

Joan Mir hit the deck, from 10th, with 12 laps to go.

Mir: Coming from the back is difficult,ꦚ difficult to overtake𓆏.

Try🧸ing to overtake Franco M🐼orbidelli, I lost the front. That’s what happened.

It’s a difficult situation. We are not in the position to 🎃fight for the victory. This is tough.

When Takaaki Nakagami went down, he left only 14 riders remaining in the race.

Nakagami: Unfortunately I had a crash while I was P9.

I had somꦏe issues, then a crash. I am a bit disappointed. But I gave my best. Sometimes, this happens.

I tried to keep pushi🦄ng, head down, I will try to get motivated for the European run. Jerez is one of my favourite tracks.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jack Miller was on course for a podium finish before his sixth crash of the weekend.

Miller: I squared the corner before off, just a little more than the lap before, then paused on the ಌchange of dir🧔ection.

Whether or not that made it load onto the fron𒀰t… the lean angle seemed verꦚy similar.

You’re on the limit around here. I tried sticking the elbow in, but there was n꧟o saving it.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Francesco Bagnaia was leading the race but, with three laps left, he dramatically crashed.

Bagnaia: I'm very a൩ngry, not with myself, because I'm 100% sure that wasn't my fault today. In Argentina, I recognise that I was a bit on the limit. But today, no. Today something happened, but not in terms of a cold tyre or the wind. Something we have to understand from the bike.

Stefan Bradl was replacing the injured Marc Marquez but failed to finish.

Bradl: I d🍸idn't 🧸make a mistake. I just collapsed the front wheel at Turn 13.”
