“In an exclusive<br />
interview with<br />
Rob Portman and<br />
Donovan Fourie,<br />
Brad Binder said<br />
“I’ve never gone into<br />
a race not planning<br />
on winning” and he<br />
proved that at Brno<br />
where he made the<br />
best of opportunities<br />
that came his way...”<br />
Shortly after that Binder<br />
passed the Aprilia Rider and<br />
brother to Pol, Aleix Espargaro<br />
to claim the first of three<br />
podium spots. The Flying<br />
Frenchman Fabio Quatararo<br />
was up next and Binder disposed<br />
of the two-time race<br />
winner with relative ease to<br />
put himself up into 2nd place.<br />
Brad Binder then began to<br />
hunt down race leader Franco<br />
Morbidelli like the predator<br />
that he is. After a few laps<br />
it was clear that Binder had<br />
far superior pace to the Italian,<br />
catching the Petronas<br />
Yamaha rider after only a few<br />
laps. Binder then made the<br />
pass that would change his<br />
life forever, the pass for first,<br />
and the rest as they say was<br />
history. Brad Binder went on<br />
to take what is already considered<br />
a famous victory<br />
by an impressive margin of<br />
more than five seconds and<br />
become the First South African<br />
to win in the premier<br />
class of MotoGP.<br />
In an exclusive interview<br />
with Rob Portman and Donovan<br />
Fourie, Brad Binder<br />
said “I’ve never gone into a<br />
race not planning on winning”<br />
and he proved that<br />
at Brno where he made the<br />
best of opportunities that<br />
came his way, capitalised on<br />
the tyre issues of others and<br />
was prepared to fight for<br />
the win if he had to. Binders<br />
win also says a lot, not only<br />
about him as a rider, but<br />
about the confidence he has<br />
in the KTM MotoGP project.<br />
After being with the KTM<br />
project since 2016 he has<br />
seen how they have grown<br />
and has realised that they<br />
are making phenomenal progress<br />
when you consider the<br />
relatively young age of the<br />
team. In the same interview<br />
Binder praised KTM for giving<br />
him a bike that he said<br />
surprised him throughout the<br />
race. In the interview Binder<br />
spoke very Highly of his team<br />
calling them “the most legendary<br />
crew ever.” Binder<br />
said that on the Friday he
