How going slow led to ‘wasteful’ Brad Binder crash in Aragon MotoGP
In the Sunday MotoGP Aragon Grand Prix, KTM rider Brad Binder admitted to going slower than on previous laps before falling out of fifth place, describing it as “a waste.” KTM had a solid weekend with three bikes making it to Q2 for the first time since last season’s Catalan GP. Despite Pedro Acosta’s fourth place finish, Binder’s crash at Turn 3 dashed hopes for a double top-five result in Sunday’s race. Binder mentioned having better front end feel on his RC16 at Aragon, but the confidence it gives him tends to lead to unexpected crashes. Analyzing his crash data, Binder discovered he had less speed, front brake, and front tire load during the incident. Even though Binder feels disappointed, he aims to focus on the positives and carry the weekend’s performance forward for better results in the future.
