Why he could win the 2023 French MotoGP
Binder will be oozing with confidence when he competes in the French MotoGP after finishing second in Spain.
The Potchefstroom-born star will now be looking to go one step further by recording a win in France in order to boost his MotoGP world championship ambitions.
What did he say?
"Today was fantastic to finish a main race again - the last two I messed up. So happy to have gotten a solid podium today," Binder said after the Spanish MotoGP.
"It was nice to be out front and lead the race, but I think I cooked it a bit with three or four laps to go. Thank you to my team, thank you to everybody for your support, we try again next week.
"As I started to get comfortable, I tried to stay super close to Jack. He had a great pace and... to be able to fight till the end, push it through and come out with the wind is incredible," he continued.
"Massive thank you to my team. It's fantastic to have both of us up on the podium. They've been working so incredibly hard and it's paying off, so I can't tell them how much I appreciate it."
