Strong sixth place finish for Brad Binder in the Spanish GP
There are few more familiar and recognizable circuits in modern MotoGP than the 4.4km layout east of Jerez de la Frontera and deep into Andalucia. For 2025, the Spanish Grand Prix welcomed a fence-busting 224,420 attendance (GP total) and typically bright, warm and pleasant racing conditions.
MotoGP powered into motion for 25 laps and Brad Binder diligently worked to win positions from the fifth row and dragged Pedro Acosta with him as the pair maximized their traction and potential, with Brad crossing the finishing line in sixth place.
The first IRTA mid-season test will take place on Monday at Jerez and will provide more valuable track time for the teams and riders to further hone their 2025 settings. Round six will take place in the historic motorsport environment of Le Mans in two weeks.
Brad Binder
6th – and 11th in the championship standings:“Much more satisfied with what we managed to do today. We made a big change with the bike and it was turning a lot better, especially with edge grip and I could manage it better. I could push. It’s nice to make a decent recovery. I still need to work on my all-out pace: I’m not fast enough. My consistency was good, I just need that extra speed. I need to find that small extra comfort to be able to push on again.”
