A former Yamaha MotoGP rider will race in America in 2026 with Ducati
Former RNF Yamaha MotoGP rider Darryn Binder is moving to the MotoAmerica Supersport class with Ducati in the upcoming season after spending 11 seasons in the grand prix paddock. Despite a mixed career so far, including a delayed first win in Moto3 in 2020, Binder had two podiums in 2021 before his surprise MotoGP debut with RNF Racing Yamaha. Transitioning directly from Moto3 to MotoGP, Binder’s rookie season had only three points finishes, best being 10th in a wet Indonesian Grand Prix. After RNF switched to Aprilia for 2023, Binder moved to Moto2 but struggled to make an impact, leading to his MotoAmerica switch with the Warhorse Ducati team for 2026. Excited for this new challenge, Binder aims to leverage his past experiences across different classes and contribute to the team’s success while enjoying competitive racing in the series.
