**MotoGP Drama Unfolds: Brad Binder’s Rolling Burnout and Jack Miller’s Last-Lap Heartbreak at Aragon**

Brad Binder exclaimed, "I experienced another rolling burnout!" Meanwhile, Jack Miller mentioned that he was "outpaced by Rins." Binder elaborated, "I devised a solid strategy last night to avoid losing traction at the start…"

Brad Binder had his most successful MotoGP weekend since the opening race in Qatar, finishing 4th and 6th in Aragon.

This occurred even though he veered off course in both races, and despite starting from a better position on a messy grid, he still secured seventh place.

Throughout the middle portion of the race, Binder trailed behind newcomer Pedro Acosta. This pursuit turned into a contest for third place when Alex Marquez and Francesco Bagnaia collided with 5 laps remaining.

However, Acosta managed to stay slightly beyond grasp.

"I came up with a solid strategy last night to avoid losing traction at the start, and I ended up doing another rolling burnout just like the day before!" Binder said with a smile.

"I skillfully navigated through and overtook several competitors. It was challenging to avoid errors as the front tire was overheating from following others until the final part of the race."

"I attempted to gain time by accelerating quickly out of corners since I couldn't enter them at high speed due to the front tire overheating. However, this strategy backfired in the end, leaving the left side of the tire completely worn out."

"I put in my utmost effort to overtake Pedro, but my car had nothing more to give from behind!"

"Aside from that, we took several promising strides this weekend. We experimented with the bike's balance, and it appeared to be effective throughout the race."

Jack Miller, starting from 15th position, made an impressive start and managed to climb up to eighth place by the end of the first lap. However, the Australian rider soon faced difficulties with maintaining rear grip.

After Alex Rins overtook him on the final lap, causing him to lose the ninth position, he was subsequently one of three riders penalized with a 16-second post-race penalty for tyre pressure, which relegated him to 15th place.

“A lengthy race,” Miller commented. “The track conditions varied once more. It’s been dirty for most of the weekend, but today it felt even more slippery."

"I gave it my all. The rear tire of medium compound was challenging to manage, and I had a significant highside incident when exiting the final turn."

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

"There were no errors during the race, but I found it challenging to keep up with the guys ahead of me. We'll continue to persist."

"I'm pleased to finish in the top ten, but Rins overtook me on the final lap's back straight. I tried to be as accurate as possible, but a poor acceleration allowed him to pass me."

“We’ll return to Misano.”

This weekend, KTM will have five riders in total as test rider Pol Espargaro joins them as a wild-card entry.

“Next, we head to Misano and focus on the subsequent test, as well as Pol’s wildcard, which will provide some assistance for our future plans,” stated team manager Francesco Guidotti.

The initial Misano MotoGP race will commence with Binder trailing Acosta by three points, who is 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, just three points behind Monster Yamaha's Fabio Quartararo.
