DNF for Brad in the #FrenchGP

The weather shifted for race day at the 39th French Grand Prix at Le Mans and the 4.1km Bugatti circuit was cooler, cloudier and with the constant threat of showers. Red Bull KTM Factory Racing started the 27-laps on Sunday afternoon with Brad Binder lining up in 20th.

Brad charged back to the edge of the first ten runners before losing traction into Turn 7 with six laps to go.

The Grand Prix of Catalunya at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya will happen next weekend for round six.

Brad Binder
DNF and 13th in the championship:

“I locked the front wheel going into turn 7 and the change of direction. It was a fast crash. I braked a bit later and with a bit more pressure. It was just too much. Today I was a lot faster but not where I need to be. The positive is that this morning in warm-up I was quicker and in the race also [than Saturday]. I felt like I was on my way forward. Everything felt easier.”
