Difficult weekend for Brad Binder at French MotoGP
The Star
|May 12, 2025
SOUTH African MotoGP rider Brad Binder did not finish the French MotoGP after he crashed the RC16 at turn 14 of the Bugatti Circuit.
Red Bull KTM Racing confirmed that he was okay after the crash, but his Championship fight slipped further and further away from him.
Binder’s teammate Pedro Acosta took home a superbly raced P4 for the team, their highest of the season so far, and some valuable points towards the team championship.
Italian racer Johann Zarco stunned the MotoGP world to pull off an incredible victory at home, robbing team Ducati of the opportunity to rewrite history.
But while Ducati leads the way, Red Bull and Binder have yet to find their way this season.
