P1racenews AI automatic summary:
Brad Binder is hoping to contend for pole position at the Australian MotoGP after topping Friday practice.
Brad Binder set a remarkable lap time in Practice 2, becoming the only MotoGP rider to go below the 1m 28s barrier, finishing ahead of his teammate Jack Miller. KTM had a strong showing, with Pol Espargaro also finishing in the top five for the GASGAS Tech 3 team. Binder expressed his satisfaction with the bike’s performance and his focus on qualifying and having a good race. Last year, KTM struggled at Phillip Island, but Binder feels more confident this season with the improved bike. Despite never claiming pole position in MotoGP, Binder is considered one of the favorites for Saturday’s qualifying session, although his main goal is to perform well in the race.
