Like Le Mans two weeks ago, the opening day of MotoGP practice in Catalunya was an up-and-down affair for 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Brad Binder.

The KTM rider had blistering pace when aboard his RC16 machine, however, two crashes at 🐠turn t𓆉wo set the South African back.

Despite damaging both bikes, Binder managed to set a time attack late on as he claimed second behind 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Aleix Espargaro.

“In turn one I went a bit deep and I lost the rear before I started to change direction,” began Binder. 

“It made a really big jump when I went ♒to change and it made a really big steering lock from one to the other, then that was it. 

“Th✃e second crash I put in the hard tyre and it just wasn’t there. I was cruising so slowly but cra🌱shed anyway. 

“I’m sorry to my team because all the pressure was on them because I didn’t have a bike again. But 📖I made it out for both runs. Hats off to my guys.

“They fixed it and are such legends. I’m super happy to have had the opportun🅺ity to put in a couple hot laps.”

Binder was also pleased by the performance shown by KTM, which hasn’t been consistent in recent rounds, especially for the factor🌼y team.

Binder added: “I felt like everything was working quite well. I didn’ꦐt put in the perfect lap by any♓ means, but we’re through to Q2.

“I think all of us are fast and every time I came in we were all close together and a💞t the front.

“I feel like there is zero grip out there but it’s working wel🌊l for us.”

After suffering multiple crashes in recent rounds, Binder has come unde👍r some criticism.

Binder owned up to the fi🧜rst crash in Barcelona, calling it his mistake, but the second was circumstantial in his eyes.

Binder said: “The first crash today was 100% my fault. I completely messed up. But the second cra💃sh; what can you do?

“I put in a hard fron𝔉t tyre when we were nowhere near the temperature for it but I had no other tyres. I would like to stop crashing.”
