Rookie Binder soars
Print Edition
KTM rider Brad Binder claimed his maiden MotoGP victory at the Czech Grand Prix in Brno yesterday, while championship leader Fabio Quartararo finished a disappointing seventh. With nine laps remaining, South African rookie Binder overhauled early leader Franco Morbidelli of Petronas Yamaha before holding his nerve to seal victory in only his third start in the premier class. The result also represents a first MotoGP win for KTM since making its full-time debut in 2017. Morbidelli clung onto second position for his first MotoGP podium, while pole sitter Johann Zarco finished third after a sloppy start on his Avintia Ducati. Despite finishing seventh, Frenchman Quartararo (Yamaha-SRT), winner of the first two rounds, increased his lead in the riders’ standings to 17 points over Spaniard Maverick Vinales (Yamaha) who was only 14th. While it was Zarco’s seventh podium it was a first for Ducati-Avinti the team he joined after he struggled with KTM last season before leaving in mid season.
