Brad takes top seven finish in chaotic #CatalanGP

The second of back-to-back MotoGP Grands Prix circulated the low-grip asphalt of the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya and after two red flags and a half distance affair, Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Brad Binder was the highest finisher with 7th position.

Brad had a technical issue on the Warm-up lap meaning a pitlane start. He circulated adrift of the field but was given a reprieve with the restarts. He salvaged a creditable 7th on a weekend where he made a step with his set-up and pace.

The Red Bull KTM teams will remain in Catalunya for the second one-day IRTA test session of the season on Monday.

Brad Binder
7th and 14th in the championship:

“I took the spare bike after we had the problem on the warm-up lap and was just trying to make some laps. Unfortunately, we had a red flag. On the restart I was up to 8th from 20th: I think it was one of my best starts ever but then we had another restart. I made it up to 9th but managed to blow Turn 1. I had to cut back and then work on catching the dudes in front of me that were fighting for 5th. It’s a pity…also that I qualified 8th and had to start from 20th twice. A weekend where we were unlucky but then also fortunate to have those starts.”
