KTM’s woefu🐈l weekend in Jerez will be “d𒀰isappointing” for the manufacturer in their bid to be Ducati’s main challengers.

Brad B☂inder came home in P꧃6 at last week’s Spanish MotoGP but Jack Miller and wildcard Dani Pedrosa did not finish.

The previously show-stopping Pedro Ac♏osta was forced to settle for P10 while Tech3 GASGAS teammate Augusto Fernandez did not complete the distance.

Miller’s race en💟ded with an angry confrontation in the gravel with Franco Morbidelli, after he was clattered out from inside the top 10.

“Jack’s weekend was a nightmare - not al꧙l Jack’s doing,” analysed broadcaster Simon Crafar.

“Technicꦗal problems, one after another, made Jack look worse than he was.

“He’s quite strong here, good in bad ✤conditions. He ♊got to show none of his cards because of these technical things.”

Crafar said of Miller’s race-ending incident with Morbidelli: “Turn 5, those types of corner, encourage a rider to give it a go - and [a big crash] is the end resu🍬lt.

“It’s sad. He had a tough weekend.”

Miller’s collision with Morbidel💧li was ruled a racing incident.

Mea💎nwhile, B๊inder’s title hopes took a major blow. He now sits seventh in the MotoGP standings after four rounds, 33 points behind championship leader Jorge Martin.

Binde🎉r came up short in a fight for P4 against Alex Marquez and Enea Bastianini.

“Brad is not going to be happy.🐻 We know Brad,” Crafar said.

“He had the possibi💞lity, I said🌼 on the grid, of getting on the podium.

꧅“He showed speed [on Saturday], they worked overnight, differen🍃t tyre, longer race.

“I thought he had the chance and it clearly didn’t happဣen like that🌌.

“A quite disa🐼ppointing weekend for KTM because they are strong here, traditionally. “

Even starlet Acosta came back down to🌃 earth with his first ordinary result since joining the premier class.

Jorge Lorenzo had spectacularly ♑predicted Aꦦcosta would win the Spanish MotoGP but it did not come true.

“Pedro? I knew it would be a tough one for him here,” Crafar sa🃏id.
