🗣️ 'I didn’t even know I had touched it' Brad Binder has apologised to KTM for the pair of MotoGP track limit penalties that cost him two podiums at the DutchGP ⬇️
The South African rider crossed the line in third place in both the sprint and grand prix races, but was demoted by officials on both occasions.
After multiple infractions in the Saturday race, he received a three-second time penalty in lieu of a long-lap penalty he couldn’t take due to the late notice. This dropped him from third to fifth, with Yamaha’sWhile in Sunday’s grand prix, touching the green paint at Turn 8 – the same corner that had got him into trouble in the sprint – on the last lap earned him an automatic one-place drop, as per the rules, gifting third place to Aprilia’s“They’ve done a great job and put in huge effort.
“Again on the last lap, I didn’t even know I had touched it. We got to Turn 1 and Aleix was pointing at the green. Then I was just like, ‘okay, whatever.’“I went over by a couple of millimetres again, but it is what it is. End of story!”Adding to the Sunday disappointment was the fact that Binder had made his soft-tyre gamble work by bringing the Austrian bike home third on the road.
“We decided to go with the soft rear and try to make it to the end. I had an unreal start. Then my priority was to look after the right side of the tyre. And I almost made it. But in the last two laps I had a really big drop.
