168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Joan Mir returned to the Sunday MotoGP points for the first time since round two in Argentinaඣ by securing a tenth-place finish at Silverstone.

The HRC rider al♏so bounced back from a lacklustre Sprint performance, with his 10.3s Sunday deficit to race winner Marco Bezzecchi (Aprilia) smaller than 🔯in the half-distance race.

But there were 'mixed emotions' afterwards, with Mir surging from twelfth to seventh in the early stages, then paying t🤪he price in terms of traction and dropping to tenth at the chequered flag.

“Mixed emꦯotions today,” Mir confirmed. “Positive because in both starts, I was able to recover positions and I was able to fight in the front group, that is always very important.

“But that fight, coming from the back, meant I paid at the end of the race. From five laps to the end, my rear tyre🧔 was cooked and then I was not able to accꦕelerate properly.

“If you accelerate behind the others with this bike, you normally lose. [So] imagine when you have a cooked tyre, the others🐼 just smash you on the straight.

“I could not defend my position. Every time we arrived at the straight with these problems of traction, one by one, sometimes 🌠two were overtaking me.

“It was a shame because𓆉 we were all very close. And I lost many, many positions in a couple of laps.

“Very unlucky, I would say, because I think after the race we’ve done🌸, we deserve it a bit🐭 more.

“We have to understand why this drop happenꦫed and i✃f it happened to the others. It’s probably something about the setup, electronic.

“We have to work on these deta🅷ils that at the end make the difference.”

Le Mans winn🧔er Johann Zarco once again finished as the top Honda, taking second place.

Mir’s Repsol Honda team-mate Luca Marini crossed the line in eighth but was later relegated to 15th due to a tyre pressure penalty.
