Starting from 14th on the grid, Brad Binder found himself in a difficult position at Aragon. The KTM rider got off to a good start in the Grand Prix and initially managed to work his way into the top 12 on the first lap. But then came the drama for Binder: he ran wide with his RC16 at Turn 12, followed by another mistake at the final corner. By lap 2, he found himself in 20th place. The South African didn’t give up, fighting his way forward step by step over the 23-lap race and finishing the Aragon GP in 10th place.

“I made things difficult for myself today. My rear tyre pressure was too low. When I braked into Turn 11, I lost the rear end and missed the entry to Turn 12,” said the South African, frustrated by his error-strewn first lap. “I lost a few places in the final corner and on the next lap I saw that I’d dropped back to 20th. That’s when I knew I still had a lot of work ahead of me. I worked my way up to 10th, so I can’t complain too much.”

Binder: “I feel we’re making progress”

Binder managed to take home six points from Aragon. With nine races remaining in the season, the experienced rider sits 13th in the World Championship standings on 78 points.

“It was a solid comeback, but I still need to work on a few things. It’s a learning process. I feel we’re making progress,” said Brad Binder, focusing on the positives. “If we can squeeze out a bit more speed, we’ll make a leap forward.”
