Incredible binder: start last and win in Jerez

An achievement that will go down in history. Only he had confidence when at the end of the warm-up they told him to start from the last position, due to an irregularity with the ECU. But Brad Binder wasn’t about to throw in the towel before the race even started. He lowered his visor and set out to attack, a man on a mission building position after position.

From the thirtieth it reached the top 20 and then the top ten. The South African proved to be unstoppable and was right behind the top three just before the mid-race point. After closing the gap, he quickly dealt with the remaining competition, despite all adversities to his first historic victory in Moto3.

A real undertaking, comparable to that of Marc Marquez, at the 2013 Valencia Grand Prix. The KTM rider is aware that he has achieved something unique: “I knew I could win despite the penalty – he explained – to be the last to start and to win after such a tough race is incredible. “

Brad Binder stole the show, however with the Italian Niccolò Bulega. there was another “service provider” todaywho takes his first podium. Having started from pole, he stayed in the leading group for the duration of the race. While the South African got away in the closing stages, the team’s Sky driver had to prevail against Bagnaia and Navarro.

In the last corner he got the best of his two rivals, which ensured that he crossed the finish line right behind winner Binder: “It’s a special day for me and my family – commented Bulega – I’ve seen a lot of videos in the last few days and I have to say they helped. “. No champagne for Bulega considering its age, so Pecco Bagnaia, again in the top three after Qatar, was there for him to drink it: “A great fight – he commented – Navarro showed from the start that he had the pace, but in the end we prevailed. Bulega? A bastard (he smiles) ”.
