Seventh place in the #AustrianGP for Brad Binder
Home ground and happy hunting. Red Bull KTM Factory Racing and Red Bull KTM Tech3 managed expectation both inside and outside the pit boxes at the Red Bull Ring: a consistent venue for MotoGP in Austria since 2016. On Sunday and in dry but cloudy weather conditions in the Styrian region the racers were going after more plunder in the 28-lap Grand Prix.
Having started from 11th on the grid, Brad was occupied with a clutch of mini-duels. At one point the South African was forced off track and out of the top five – even sustaining some bike damage in the incident – but he rode back with fiery form and achieved P7 by the flag, which equaled his second-best result of 2025 and marked his third top eight in a row.
MotoGP moves to new territory with the debut of Balaton Park and the first Hungarian Grand Prix since 1992 to occur next weekend.
Brad Binder
7th and 11th in the championship standings:“Today could have been much better. I didn’t get a good start but made some moves and was up to 5th. I was then sent into the fans by another rider! I lost a few seconds there and one of my wings. It was tough from then on because it was hard here for the wheelie without the aero and the bike was wobbling more. It was a long race! I felt like I put up a good fight and did all I could. We got 7th today but the potential was there for more.”
