**Title: “Brad Binder’s Rolling Burnout and Jack Miller’s Last-Lap Heartbreak: A Weekend of Highs and Lows at Aragon”**

Brad Binder exclaimed, "I did another rolling burnout!" Meanwhile, Jack Miller mentioned, "Rins got ahead of me." Brad Binder further explained, "I had a solid strategy last night to avoid spinning out at the start…"

Brad Binder achieved his best MotoGP results since the opening race in Qatar, finishing in 4th and 6th place at the Aragon event.

This happened even though he veered off the track in both races, and his seventh-place finish came from the less obstructed part of a cluttered starting grid.

During the middle portion of the race, Binder was trailing the rookie Pedro Acosta. This competition for position turned into a fight for third place when Alex Marquez and Francesco Bagnaia collided with 5 laps remaining.

However, Acosta remained slightly beyond reach.

"I came up with a solid strategy last night to avoid spinning out, and I did a rolling burnout again just like I did yesterday!" Binder said with a smile.

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

"I attempted to gain time coming out of the corners since entering too quickly was challenging due to the front overheating. However, this strategy backfired as the left side of the tire wore out completely by the end."

"I did everything I could to overtake Pedro, but my rear tires were completely worn out!"

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

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

After being overtaken by Alex Rins for ninth place on the final lap, he was one of three riders penalized with a 16-second post-race penalty for tire pressure violations, which relegated him to 15th position.

"It felt like a really long race," Miller commented. "The track conditions varied once more; it had been dirty throughout most of the weekend, but today it seemed more slippery."

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

"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. We’ll continue to push forward."

"I’m glad to have finished in the top ten, but getting overtaken by Rins on the back straight during the final lap was tough. I tried to be as accurate as possible, but I didn’t get a good acceleration and he managed to outpace me on the back stretch."

“We will return to Misano.”

KTM will have five riders participating this weekend, as test rider Pol Espargaro joins as a wild-card entry.

“Now we head to Misano, keeping in mind the upcoming test and Pol’s wildcard entry, which will offer us some assistance moving forward,” stated team manager Francesco Guidotti.

The initial Misano MotoGP round will commence with Binder trailing Acosta by three points, with Acosta currently occupying 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 and just three points behind Fabio Quartararo of Monster Yamaha.
