Brad Binder might have a reputation as one of the most aggressive yet clean racers in MotoGP, but the Indonesian GP was an exception – as he received two long lap penalties for irresponsible riding, which he accepts he deserved
Brad Binder, a MotoGP rider, received two long lap penalties for irresponsible riding during the Indonesian Grand Prix. He collided with Luca Marini and his former teammate Miguel Oliveira. Binder admitted his mistake and explained that the collision with Marini was partly due to a mechanical issue with his bike, as a vibration from the kerbs pushed his brake pads back in the calliper, affecting his stopping power. He apologized to Marini and his team for ruining their race. The issue of the brake pad problem has been a recurring challenge for KTM riders, including Pol Espargaro, who also suffered a race-ending crash due to the same issue. They have been trying to address it but haven’t found a solution yet.
