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 riꩲder had blister🐷ing pace when aboard his RC16 machine, however, two crashes at turn two 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 chang🍨e and it made a really big steering lock from one to the other, then that was it. 

“The second crash I put in the hard tyre and it juܫst wasn’t there. I was cruising so slowly but crashed anyway. 

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

“They fixed it an🤪d are such legends. I’m super happy to have had the opportunity to put in a couple hot ♔laps.”

Binder was also pleased by the performance shown by KTM, wꦅhich hasn’t been consistent in recent rounds, ওespecially for the factory team.

Binder added: “I felt like everything was working quite well. I didn’t put in the perfect lap by any mean🥃s, but 𝓡we’re through to Q2.

“I think all of us are fast and every time I came in we w🃏ere all close together a🐽nd at the front.

“I feel like there is zero grip out there butᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚ it’s working well for us.”

After su𓄧ffering multiple crashes in recent rounds, Binder h🀅as come under some criticism.

Binder sa🥃id: “The first c✨rash today was 100% my fault. I completely messed up. But the second crash; what can you do?

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