One KTM nearly won MotoGP’s Thailand Grand Prix. The other three finished in the final three positions. How is Brad Binder doing this to his team-mates?

Being teammates with a rider who consistently outperforms you is always challenging, just like those who have been alongside Marc Marquez at Honda can attest to. Currently, it’s Brad Binder of Red Bull KTM who is causing frustration for his fellow riders. In the recent Thai Grand Prix, Binder fought for the win while his KTM teammates, Jack Miller, Pol Espargaro, and Augusto Fernandez, finished at the back of the pack. Although the other riders had their own issues, their excuses focused on themselves rather than the bike’s performance. Miller attributed his struggles to the use of Michelin’s harder rear tire. Despite trying different strategies, he couldn’t match Binder’s performance in certain sectors. Fernandez also had a disappointing race, facing problems with the KTM brakes. So, Binder’s success is highlighting the areas where the other riders need to improve.
