Brad Binder was once again one of the highlights of MotoGP this weekend in India, with the KTM rider finishing both races in fourth position, which means a recovery of eight positions in each. Francesco Guidotti said that the team had to be happy with the result, especially considering that they didn’t manage to get the best out of the KTM’s potential in Buddh.
The austrian manufacturer’s Team Manager recalled Binder’s performance on sunday: ‘Another solid race for Brad. He had a good start but was hit in the first turn and lost a few positions. His pace was enough to fight for the top five. We couldn’t make the best of the technical package here so to come away with two 4th places means we have to be happy’.
For the italian, it’s still desirable to be further ahead, even if the objectives have been met: ‘Of course, we should be more in front but the result of this sunday was OK. Being on, or as close to, the podium is our seasonal target and while you can always want better now-and-then we have to be happy with a 4th’.
