“I felt like I was being so kind to my rear tyre and I would have something at the end of the race, but with two laps to go it completely went,” Binder said.

“I’ve never felt a tyre drop like it, and somehow we managed to get home. I can’t believe I got 10th place. We still need to find some extra speed and some extra performance, although the bike package improved over yesterday. We still have some work to do,” he added.

Binder is currently 13th in the MotoGP championship standings and will be back in action at the Grand Prix of Great Britain from August 6 to 9.
