South African star hopeful his upgraded bike can pass the test at Japan Grand Prix.
“We struggle with contact on corner entry and that is where we spin a lot, especially on the upright.
“It’s always tricky when you test something at Misano on a Monday after the race because the track becomes super grippy. But this will be the first good opportunity for us to test it somewhere else.”The fact that the top three – all Ducati riders – has opened up a considerable gap on fourth-placed Binder in the title race might be behind the Austrian outfit’s decision to go for broke in the remaining seven races of the season.
The title is a three-horse race between Francesco Bagnaia , Jorge Martin and Marco Bezzecchi . Binder trails Bezzecchi by 56 points, with a 32-point breathing space to Aleix Espargaro in fifth.Binder is excited to return to a happy hunting where he qualified on the first row of the grid and finished second in last year’s Japan MotoGP. Despite two sprint wins, the top step of the podium in a main race still eludes him in 2023.
“It’s clear to me that we have made a massive step from last season and last season worked really well for us here,” said Binder. “I’m exciting and it will be fantastic to see how we manage. It will be fantastic to stand on the box again, but of course the goal is always the top step.”Brad Binder’s younger brother Darryn with also line up this weekend with renewed energy after his showing in India. The Moto2 rider finished seventh in India after returning from injury for the second time this season, this time after recovering from a fractured vertebra sustained in the Austrian Grand Prix.
