Krugersdorp’s MotoGP sensation Brad Binder bagged 14 points following his top-five finish at the Motorrad Grand Prix von Österreich in Austria recently.
The Red Bull KTM Factory Racing team announced tyre conservation was key for the 28-lap distance and this factor influenced the progress of Brad, who worked his way from 12th on the starting grid to his teammate’s exhaust trail in the opening exchanges.
“By the end of the chase it was Brad who prevailed, marking a top five after a typically demanding Grand Prix outing, where he is now back to sixth in the championship standings,” the Red Bull KTM Factory Racing team continued.
“I can’t ask for more from today. I gave my best from beginning to end, tried to not make mistakes and set my rhythm without murdering the tyre! We managed to get home with it in quite a good state. Top five, I wanted a bit more for the home Grand Prix but we figured some good things out this weekend, so let’s keep building from here. I think we’ll be OK in Aragon and I’m hoping for a good result.”
Brad will compete again on the weekend of August 30 to September 1 at the Gran Premio GoPro de Aragón in eastern Spain.
