MotoGP: Brad Binder Gets First Win in Unpredictable Czech Republic Grand Prix

News 18  

Brad Binder and Red Bull KTM Factory Racing did the unbelievable. In an unpredictable MotoGP race at the Monster Energy Czech Republic Grand Prix, the South African - in just his third premier class race - stormed to an emotional first win to become the first rookie since Marc Marquez to win in MotoGP. Binder won by over five seconds to lead Franco Morbidelli over the line as the Italian picked up his first MotoGP rostrum, with polesitter Johann Zarco took a memorable podium place, despite taking a long lap penalty for an incident with Pol Espargaro. Aleix Espargaro also got away well from P4 to grab P3, which was soon P2 at Turn 4 as the Spaniard carved past the Championship leader, with the Red Bull KTM Factory Racing bikes of Pol Espargaro and Binder making a great start to sit 4th and 5th, with Zarco down to P6. Pol Espargaro was getting impatient behind Zarco after losing out to the poleman, but after a failed attempt the lap before, the number 44 was through at Turn 3 on Lap 6 and immediately set sights on his teammate and Quartararo, and the battle for second soon became a double factory KTM vs Quartararo fight.
