While Binder stole the show with his epic recovery ride, Miller had a day of mixed fortunes. The Australian led the race in the opening stages, but declining grip levels on the soft tyre meant he could not hold onto it."Obviously not the way we wanted to end things here," Miller said.
"I was fading a little bit but also preserving the left side of the tyre, and I knew I had a bit left at the end. I then used too much curb on the inside of Turn 4, and that was all she wrote."Team manager Francesco Guidotti rued the missed opportunities but praised his riders for their effort."It was a good weekend with both riders into Q2 on Friday, and we'll look forward to the next GP with confidence.
In the 2023 MotoGP standings, Binder occupies the third slot with 81 points - 13 behind championship leader Francesco Bagnaia on 94.We live in a world where facts and fiction get blurred In times of uncertainty you need journalism you can trust.
