168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Brad Binder’s brilliant ride in Barcelona ensured he ended 2024 as MotoGP’s top non-Ducati rider.

The factory KTM rider secured fifth-placed in the championship, behind Ducati quartet Jorge Martin, Pecco Bagnaia, Marc Marquez and Enea Bastianꦺini.

Perhaps 𒈔crucially, Binder edged fellow KTM rider Pedro Acosta in the final grand prix in the battle for fifth in the standings.

Acosta will graduate from Tech3 to the factory team in 2025 but Binder, at least, has laid down a🥂n e🐼arly marker.

But he joked: “To be honest, it was for a world title, it🌱▨’d be a different story!

“Fifth is cool. I wanted more.

“I’ve finished sixth💫 a couple of times, fourth once, now fifth once. I seem to be 🌳hovering in this area.

“It would be nice to go forward from here…”

While the standings prove that KTM are established as Duc⛦ati’s nearest contenders, they have endu🅺red a disappointing year.

It was Aprilia’s Maverick Vinales who became the only non-Ducati rideཧr to win a Sunday race.

Binder re𒊎flected: “It’s ﷺsafe to say that it’s been an adventure. We all expected more.

“Myself and KTM, we all wanted more this season.

💎“Unfortunately it has been more tricky than anticipated.

“We gave our all regardless, whether we finis🅷hed 10th or go🅷t near a podium.

“I am happy with the effort put in.

“This i𒁏sn’t our place where we’ll stay. We will go forwards from here.”

Binder charged from 18th on ꦿthe grid to finish sixth in the Solidarity Barcelona MotoGP. Acosta could only manage 10th.

“Overall, I ꩲhad a pretty good Sunday, to༒ be honest,” Binder said.

“The guys mad💛e some fine-tuning from yesterday and the bike worked really well. I was s🦩uper happy.

“In the race, I tܫried my best not to abuse my rear tyre. It left me with some rear tyre at the end.

“It was good to have a comeback from 18th to eighth, it was quit🌄e an adventure.

“I was super happy to make it to the end with the tyre, that 🐼was the big thing today.

“Iꦆ was preparing the exits to pick it up, and not spin the tyre. That was my goal for today, to make time on the brakes 𝓡then pick it up as soon as possible.

“🗹It’s ♏cool to finish fifth in the championship. Considering what a crazy year we’ve had, it’s awesome.”
