Brad Binder sheds light on what went wrong on Silverstone starting grid
The factory KTM rider lined up from sixth on the grid but faced an immediate technical issue, meaning he barely got off the line and was overtaken by everybody within moments.
Binder’s race ended immediately and he gave a frustrated explanation to media including Crash.net afterwards.“I got to the start. When I pulled off, I had a slight clutch issue and I couldn’t get away.Binder explained more about his clutch: “It started slipping when I went away. It unfortunately stayed in.“I tried to get back to the pits to swap bikes but it didn’t make it.”
He insisted there were no problems until he lined up on the starting grid: “It was all okay. When I got the grid I really battled to engage neutral. I thought ‘oh shit…’“I tried my best to stay down and put my hand up, in case someone hit me, so I could be more braced for it. I was lucky that nobody did.”
TNT Sports’ Michael Laverty analysed what went wrong: “They’ve forgotten to disengage fuel-save mode from the sighting lap.“They put a map in to use no fuel on the sighting lap. They come round to the grid and they should put the race map back in.”“This morning we turned things upside-down,” he said.“We worked super hard on our tyres, trying to make lap time, because we spin so much. So our wear was high. It would have been difficult to have made it the whole way in a good condition.
