168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Brad Binder has described his start to MotoGP pre-season testing as ‘quite smooth’ although a puncture saw him and KTM lose trac🌟k time.

Binder’s puncture came very soon into his opening run, ⛦however, the South African was still able to complete 60 laps aboard his RC16. 

“It was so cool to be back on a GP bike,” said꧋ Binder following day one. “It felt like ages. Everything was quite smooth and no massive complaints.

“We basically started how we finished in Valencia. We𒐪 played around with some electroไnic stuff, some engine brake stuff. We kept things really simple today.

“T൩he only mishap we had was a puncture on my third ඣlap which was a bit of a pain as we lost a lot of work.

“But other than that 🌺all good, I can’t complain at all. Tomorrow is when the i𒁃nteresting stuff will really start and we can see what the guys have found.

“Priority number one today was to get u𒊎p to speed and that is what was done.”

As Binder hinted at, Wednesday’s second d🦩ay of runnin💜g will be a big one as he’s expected to test the 24-spec engine.

Having changed very little compa🌠red to the Valencia test last year, Binder added: “I’m still using last year’🎉s engine. I was just testing myself and the electronic stuff is a lot.

“The electronic stuff is small changes here, small changes there and it changes the character oꦕf the bike a lot.

“When you play with the engine bra🐻ke you never quite k💞now what you’re getting. You have to be open to change all the time.

“I think ♉we found something that I was quite happy with in the end. I ♛need to tweak it a bit still.

“They do everything wit🤪hin reason but sometimes they throw everything and more at it and you can be super sideways and you can’t turn in. then you try and adjusℱt, they call it controllers, or something, f**k knows.

“I just ride the thing and give my feedback.”
