168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Brad Binder suffered a similar scare to fellow KTM rider 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Pedro Acosta, a lap before the rookie crashed out of Sunday’s Japanese MotoGP.

“A tough race today. In the beginning when I wanted to push on with the boys, I kept lꦫosing the 🐼front,” Binder said after finishing in sixth position.

Acosta, who had cr💖ashed while leading the Saturday Sprint, was holding second place - between Francesco Bagnaia and Binder - when he slid off at the fi༒nal corner on lap 3 of 24.

“The lap before he [Acosta] crashed, I closed the front in the 🎶same corner,” Bin🐽der revealed.

“And the next lap I saw him go, so I thought, ‘It's not just me, so I’ve got to re🥀ally try and nurse it a little bit’.

“And then ꦬafte🦄r the about 6-7 laps it was more under control.”

But while the front grip sta🔥bilised, rear gri💛p had evaporated by the closing stages.

“With probably about 6-7 laps to go, the centre of the tyre was completely [worn] alre🔥ady, so it just spinning the whole way down the straights,” said the Soutꦓh African.

“It was really difficult to be clean ♊and consistent because I was missing so much grip.

“But I think everyone struggled [with that] today. If you se🌜e how big the gap𝕴s were.

“In general, everไything else was OK. Not the race I wanted b𒅌y any means, but I tried my best and that's all we had today.”

Although Binder failed to finish the Sprint due to a technical issue, Acosta’s double Motegi DNF means Binder has retaken fifth in the world championship by two points from h🎃is future team-mate.
