Red Bull KTM rider, South African Brad Binder, put on a masterclass in bravery and skill to win Saturday’s MotoGP sprint race at the Argentina Grand Prix after starting 15th on the grid.
VR46 Racing’s two Ducatis of Marco Bezzecchi and Luca Marini completed the podium, while championship leader Francesco Bagnaia, who started on the front row, could only finish sixth behind pole sitter Alex Marquez.
“I surprised myself a little bit there, what a start! I got super tight in turn one and just tried to hug the inside,” Binder said in a post-race interview. Binder quickly moved up with a fastest lap early on and by the end of the third lap, the South African was a man on a mission and had moved up to take the lead.
The two VR46 machines had swapped paint early on but they quickly found their groove and overtook Yamaha’s Franco Morbidelli to move up behind Binder.
