P1racenews AI automatic summary:
Brad Binder was one of the heroes of the 2022 MotoGP season on an underwhelming KTM. But this year, on a better bike, did he let too many opportunities slip?
In 2023, KTM extended Brad Binder’s contract, making him the rider contracted furthest into the future on the grid. However, Binder admitted to making a lot of mistakes and throwing away opportunities during the season. Despite this, he was still the best non-Ducati rider and consistently outperformed his KTM teammates. However, Binder’s performance this year was not as efficient as the previous year when he scored a sixth-place finish in the riders’ standings. He had more crashes and non-scores on Sundays, which ultimately cost him a better position in the championship standings. Binder is aware of his higher rate of errors and has spoken about it before and after the Valencia race.
