Top ten finish for Brad in the #HungarianGP

Balaton Park was the eighth appointment of the 2026 campaign. The flat, anticlockwise 4.1km layout features 17 corners with at least three chicanes and was tricky for viable overtaking opportunities in the premier class. Pedro Acosta, Enea Bastianini, Brad Binder and Maverick Viñales started from P2, P14, P17 and P21 on the grid and under warm Hungarian sunshine.

Brad worked hard and rode in traffic for the duration of the GP. He breached the top ten for the third time this term.

The Grand Prix of Czechia will take MotoGP to Brno in two weeks.

Brad Binder
10th and 13th in the championship:

“Strange race and I expected a lot more from this GP. I was missing pace. I can do one lap OK but the next too deep and I lose time. The average was not there. I was pushing too much to do something mediocre. I need to do something this week to work out how to improve because it is not much fun going for 10th. I’m hoping for a much better weekend at Brno.”
