**”Binder’s Rolling Burnout Drama and Miller’s Last-Lap Heartbreak: Aragon MotoGP Recap”**

Brad Binder exclaimed, "I ended up doing another rolling burnout!" Meanwhile, Jack Miller mentioned, "I got overtaken by Rins."

Brad Binder explained, "I had a solid strategy last night to avoid spinning out at the start…"

Brad Binder achieved his best MotoGP results since the season's first race in Qatar, securing 4th and 6th place finishes at the Aragon Grand Prix.

Despite veering off course in both races, he managed to secure seventh place, which was on the more favorable side of a poorly maintained grid.

During the middle portion of the race, Binder trailed behind newcomer Pedro Acosta. This contest turned into a fight for third place after Alex Marquez and Francesco Bagnaia collided in front with 5 laps remaining.

However, Acosta remained just beyond their grasp.

Binder smiled and said, "My strategy last night was to avoid spinning at the start, and I ended up doing another rolling burnout just like I did yesterday!"

"I was able to navigate through and overtake several competitors. It was challenging to avoid errors since the front tire was overheating while following others, especially until the final part of the race."

"I attempted to gain time coming out of the corners since I couldn't enter them quickly due to the front tire overheating. However, this strategy backfired as the left side of the tire was completely worn out by the end."

"I did everything I could to overtake Pedro, but there was no traction left from behind!"

"Aside from that, we made several encouraging advancements this weekend. We experimented with the bike's balance, and it appeared to be effective over the course of the race."

Fellow team member Jack Miller had a strong start, moving up from 15th place on the grid to 8th by the conclusion of the first lap. However, the Australian quickly faced issues with rear grip.

Following a last-lap overtake by Alex Rins that pushed him down to tenth place, he was subsequently one of three racers penalized with a 16-second post-race penalty for tyre pressure violations, which further relegated him to 15th position.

"That was quite a lengthy race," commented Miller. "The track conditions have varied once more. While it has been mostly dirty throughout the weekend, today's conditions appeared to be more slippery."

"I gave it my all. It was difficult to manage the [medium] rear tire, and I experienced a significant highside incident as I exited the final corner."

“I found my groove and focused on maintaining it. There were several challenges when transitioning from the outer edge to the center of the tire, but I managed to finish successfully.”

"I didn't make any errors during the race, but I had a hard time keeping up with the guys ahead. We'll continue to work hard."

"I'm pleased to finish in the top ten, but on the final lap, Rins managed to overtake me on the back straight. I was trying to be as accurate as possible, but I couldn't get enough speed, and he outpaced me."

“We will return to Misano.”

Test rider Pol Espargaro will join the KTM team as a wild-card entry, increasing their lineup to five riders this weekend.

"Next, we head to Misano, also focusing on the subsequent test and the advantage of Pol's wildcard, which will assist us moving forward," stated team manager Francesco Guidotti.

The opening race of the Misano MotoGP series will see Binder trailing Acosta by three points, with Acosta currently in fifth place in the world championship standings.

Miller, who might be formally announced as a Pramac Yamaha rider at the team's home races in Italy, is currently in 15th place, three points behind Monster Yamaha's Fabio Quartararo.
