168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Jack Miller was left devastated when he crashed out of the French MotoGP just as the weather conditions we🍨re turning in his favour.

Trusting the weather radar, Miller doubled down on the decision to run wet tyres for the restart, despite 13 riders pulling in at the end 🐻of the sighting lap for slicks.

Initially, they seemed to have made൩ t💎he right call - until rain intensified.

From 13th on lap 3, Miller began slicing thꦛrough the field.

Some ten seconds behind, the next best wet-tyre rider was a certꦏain Johann Za🐻rco, who would go on to take a fairytale home victory.

But Miller’s downfall came at the final corner on lap 6, the same tur♔n that had claimed Fabio Quartararo a few laps earlier.

While the Frenchma🦹n lowsided on slicks, a “devastated” Miller was pitched into a highside.

“This one is tough to digest. We had the right str🐈ategy, I gambled, trusted the forecast and I was right,” he said.

“Staying out there at the beginning w𝔍as tough, all the bikes on slicks were coming by, but I knew𝓰 there was going to be a crossover where I could have started to recover. I was trying to nurse it and do all the right things.

“It hurts, because I don‘t und📖erstand what went on. It had started to rain a little more, like I was hoping, came to the last corner, did the same thing as the laps before but I lost it, had an highside and that was it.

“Don‘t know if it was because of bumps or different patches of asphalt, but it 🌱was the same for everybody so I can’t compla🍰in about that.

“It’s just a strange one, especially when it stepped o𒀰ut and kind of flipped me over the front.

“Bu🎐t I am devasted because we had done everything right. I🌃 am gutted for the team, also considering that Johann at that time was behind me.”

Team manager Gino Borsoi confirmed: “Of course, it hurts to think that when Jack craꦓshed, he was 10 seconds ahead of Zarco, and we all know how that ended.”

Zarco picked the soft wet rear tyre, while Miller was on the medium, which should have been the better choice given 🐼the dryer early laps.

“I went with the medium option and even then I was trying to nurse it in the drier conditions at the beginning of the race, just to🃏 try not to smoke the wet tyre and lose all the tread,”ౠ Miller said.

“The more it got wet the more I suffered with edge grip on the rear. She was f﷽loating a bit but I was able to ride relatively comfortable for the m⛎ajority of the track… Up until that point.”

Despite qualifying a competitive eighth, Le Mans was Miller’s third non-scoring event in a row, having been pushed out of the points by an aggressive pass from Enea Bastianini in the spr💫int.

“Speed and pace was good, the bikes working well. Just need to✤ put some points in the bank,” he said.

Team-mate Miguel Oliveira also crashed at the same final corner, la🍸ter in the race.
