MotoGP jetted from the cool and unpredictable climate of Phillip Island to the tropical setting of the Sepang International Circuit for round 20. The 5.5km layout with two long straights and a mix of 15 quick and slow corners is familiar ground for the teams and riders due to its status as the opening test venue of the season. Mileage and knowledge of the Malaysian asphalt is not an issue so lap-times were already being battered from Free Practice.

The weather proved to be a hitch with rain on Friday causing complications, and Brad Binder went into Q1 for a dry and warm Saturday and emerged with P18 on the grid.

The Sprint lasted for 10 laps and unfortunately Brad was beset by handling issues, and eventually reached the flag in P16.

The Grand Prix will begin at 15.00 local time and will run for 20 laps.

Brad Binder
18th in qualification, 16th in the Sprint:

“Well, not much to say. Quali was not great and the race was worse. I started spinning from the first lap and just didn’t go anywhere. I had nothing for corner entry or exit. It was a mess. We have to figure out what happened and tomorrow can only be better.”
