A mix-up between MotoGP title leader 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Jorge Martin and J168澳洲5最新开奖结果:ack Miller sa𓃲w the KTM rider clip the side of the Pramac Ducati🧜 in the closing stages of Friday practice at Assen.

Both were on slow laps, with Martin ahead of Miller as several riders were manoeuvring to try and find a tow beh🤡ind Francesco Bagnaia.

The incident occurred when the Australian glanced backwards to chec🐼k he was not obstructing anyone, just as Martin braked in response to Bagnaia slowing down ahead of him.

“♌We had a few little issues today and the coming together with Jorge just sort of capped it off," Mille💎r said.

“Fortunately for myself and him, we both s🦩tayed up. It wasn’t anything too serious.

“I just went to check what was behind me and make sure I wasn’t getting in anyone’s way. And right at th🌊at point, Jorge was slowing down.

“It was unfortunate but obviously my fault.”

Martin was untroubled by the contac✃t and able to continue.

“I was tཧrying to find a good tow and just followed Pecco to the left side of the track," he said.

"I don’t kno♑w what he [Miller] did but we touched each other. For me,🌱 it wasn’t an issue and I kept going.”
