Near top 5 finish for Brad in the Netherlands

Round eight of the 2024 MotoGP World Championship was the first of two Grand Prix fixtures in a row and Red Bull KTM Factory Racing closed their efforts at the TT Circuit Assen in the Netherlands with a top six finish, courtesy of Krugersdorp’s Brad Binder.

According to the Red Bull KTM Factory Racing team, as is the custom in this part of the world, a large and dedicated crowd of MotoGP fans arrived at the flat and famous layout of the TT Circuit Assen for what was the 75th Grand Prix to have been held around the Dutch course.

“Brad placed sixth at the Grand Prix and is number seven in the World Champions standings,” the team said.

Regarding his performance, Brad said, “It was quite a hectic race. I decided to go with the soft rear tyre because I felt there might be more potential to go with the boys in front but the reality was that they could put down a super-fast pace with the medium and we just burnt the tyre to go with them. It was tricky, for sure. I would have liked to have walked away with a better result but I left nothing on the table. We have some work to do. My feeling is not terrible. I understand the front limit and I didn’t crash at all this weekend. We just need to find more speed.”

Brad will compete again in the Liqui Moly Motorrad Grand Prix Deutschland this weekend with race day on July 7.
